Learning Observed

In Writing we have been looking at Moments in Time. This is a very interesting writing style as the learners have to pick a specific moment in an event that they will write about. It is quite hard to stick to a single moment, rather than recounting the event. The learners need to focus more on the details and sense. We have been looking at giving feedback and feed-forward to improve our writing. This is a task where the learners have to be Collaborative and focus on the helping improve their and their buddies Capabilities. The Irene, Samantha, Alesha and Amin are learning what the purpose of feedback is and the difference between useful feedback and surface feedback. Irene, Alesha and Samantha have been highlighting where they can improve on their writing. Since the learners have been using the feedback and feed-forward they have become more aware of their writing and the steps to improve it.  From the feedback given Amin has been circling where his writing can be improve based on the feedback.

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience

Learning Observed

In LH1 we have chosen a group of learners that we think show the Capabilities with independence. We are going to be teaching these learners how to use these skills to take more ownership over their learning. One the first session we looked at what an independent learner looks like. The learners had to brainstorm what Capabilities they think an independent learner shows. The learners made a Wordle out of these capabilities to present their learning. We also look at creating a treaty type of agreement for the group. This will allow them to understand the expectations of the group. The learners in this group will be using their independent learner skills to plan and run learning experiences for their next steps in iExplore and some iDevelop days. The Vision Principles that the learners where showing in this session was Capability and Collaborative as they had to use their skills to work together to produce their understanding of an independent learner.
