Create to Learn

Manaiakalani Class OnAir connects audiences with the Manaiakalani pedagogy, Learn-Create-Share by offering an authentic window into the classroom. From learning design and lessons on demand, plus teacher reflections and learners' blogs, the Manaiakalani Class OnAir site provides a unique perspective beyond that of a classroom visit.

Listening to Manaiakalani Class OnAir teachers, Charlotte Gaston and Clarelle Carruthers yesterday, I was reminded of John Dewey's quote from our Create to Learn Staff meeting last year.

Additionally the opportunities to collaborate and share, and how this is planned for and practiced, have been generously shared during this Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu Meet and via the Class OnAir Site.

Each episode includes an extended plan, lesson video, learning content, teacher reflection and learner generated content.

Thanks to Charlotte, Clarelle and all the teachers who have contributed to the site. Highly recommend taking some time out to explore using the new navigation links that have been added to the home page.... Thanks to Anne Sinclair and Matt Goodwin for curating.

All On Air Teachers' pages include links to their learners' blogs and I encourage everyone who visits to take some time to comment.

Yesterday's recording is available on demand including links to the Manaiakalani Class OnAir site.

Look out for further Meets later this term including Secondary and Te Reo Māori.

Side by Side Images in Blogger

Small images can be placed side by side in a blog post (see above). However when the image size is increased it can help to use an invisible table to position your images side by side (see below).

The following html adds an invisible table in your blog post to position two images side by side.
