Toolkits - Making a magazine cover using google draw.
I had a great time today in Lenva's toolkit. Today Lenva showed us how to use a google drawing to make a magazine cover. The google drawing part I was confident with but today I was introduced to Pixlr. In 30 minutes I created this cover using photos from my class of 2018. Of course if I had more time I could have made more adjustments but for now this is a great start. I can not wait to show my create work to my students and have them make their own magazine covers. Thank you very much Lenva for the inspiration.

Designing and implementing my intervention was a major focus in Term 1. This drawing illustrates what I have implemented in my teaching practice/reading programme so far. I have been reflecting on the improvements I can make and I have identified a need to look into my Learn, Create, Share pedagogy. We are fortunate in Manaiakalani as our students are equipped with tools which they can use to accelerate and access learning resources and materials which other students can not with the use of a device. Our students also have many opportunities to create work which they can use to teach others in the world about their learning.
This term, I will start accessing help from my colleagues not only within school but across the Manaiakalani cluster. In my team, I will start observing the teaching of reading and have professional discussions with my team about how we can improve the Learn, Create, Share kaupapa of Manaiakalani within our practice.
