 Learning:


Rewindable learning- Removing the traditional 9.00am till 3.00pm model and allowing learners to access their learning anywhere and anytime. One great aspect is that it allows learners to progress through learning activities at their own pace. As was evident in 2020, having access to technology has the influence to positively change circumstances. It is more than 'just' a tool.

Below are some apps to help you create rewindable learning:



  Chromebooks Apps


Mobile phones / iPads Apps


Although I was not at the course today, I found out by reading a number of Blogs that Chromebooks tolerate lots more abuse than an Ipad.


Cybersmart Curriculum-extremely valuable and needs to be at the foundation of all schools teaching practices if digital technology is being used in the classroom. I think children like Ilisa said, need to be really aware of the content they upload online. In todays world, the digital footprint that you leave is a very powerful tool (both good and bad).


Manaiakalani 1:1 Journey -Great to make sure that all students in NZ have access to learning - leveling up the playing field.


Most of the rewindable learning that I have conducted at Belfast has been done via Screencastify.

-Great for teaching a particular math's strategy. Over lockdown, I developed videos modelling particular strategies and sent them out to my class.

-I have narrated a storytelling story and had it uploaded to a class website.

-I have supported students to make their own 'Weather news story' based on a storytelling story we did.


Had I been able to attend todays session, I would have really loved having a play around with the apps mentioned on the Ipad. At year 5/6 at Belfast we predominately use Chromebooks.
