Teacher. 💕integrating ICT & Apple products. Studying #MindLabPG as well as teaching yr2/3. Travelled the world while teaching in UK. Back in little old NZ now.
Leading staff PD: Learning how to use #makeymakey & #scratch to create a musical instrument. Staff jumped in & explored how to use it & loved the makey makey apps & scratch (1st timers). Challenge: Play a song for the other team to guess #DTHM#BelikeMaui@makeymakey@scratch
We are loving using @Studyladder in our classroom to help practice the maths concepts we have been learning. The activities are fun, they are able to independently use it and it’s a great part of my maths rotation in the juniors.
Core Ed has released the Ten Trends in Education for 2020.
One key theme is Technology with Digital Fluency and Digital Citizenship as foundational to this.
How might we build fluency & citizenship in our students?

Saw some tweets about not knowing when to use affect and effect. A tutor at college told me a way to remember is to replace the word with tickle. If tickle makes sense, it’s affect, if not, effect. Eg. Will this tickle my score? Will this affect my score? Hope this helps!
Using #GoogleClassroom to put up links to help my year 2/3 to begin developing more independence & to help them develop digital literacy. They love using videos pictures online games & activities to help develop their learning #DTHM#Belikemaui#BitmojiClassroom#digitalbookshelf
My year 2/3 class have been working hard on creating a Beebot Mat to retell a fairytale. We’ve used the design process to design these and are currently creating our final design. We will then use PuppetPals to retell the story with the Beebots #dthm#belikemaui
Loving this code and go mouse maze. My year 2/3s have really enjoyed building the mazes, using the directional cards and then coding the mouse through the maze. A great resource to add to our DT collection #dthm#computationalthinking#belikemaui#STEM
Bubble teaching has allowed us to experiment with @makeymakey. Loving the banana piano, squishy controllers for Pac-Man and tinfoil piano keys. One student even made a cardboard arcade box for the chrome book to sit in #makeymakey#Dthm#belikemaui
Making writing fun! Using @FxGuruApp to engage my 6-7 year olds in Writing for recount writing. This beats recounting our weekends! What’s happened to the gingerbread men? Where are they going? Why are they in the staff room? #FXGuru#writingexperiencsz#nzteachers
