The Summer Learning Journey involved students learning and blogging from home over the summer break, to reduce the summer drop off. Many of our akonga lose a lot of the knowledge and skills they have developed throughout the school year, over the Christmas break. When they return to school in February to start the new year, their e-asTTle scores are not as positive as we would like, so Rachel Williamson set out to reduce this drop with the Summer Learning Journey.
I attempted to complete a live sketchnote to reflect some of the key parts of the discussion in our PLG and the findings from Rachel's research. Although it is rather messy and all over the show, I don't think it is bad for my first live sketchnote - I hope to complete more of these and include in the classroom.
This afternoon we were asked to explore the statistics behind our professional blogs, and then create an infographic to reflect some of our findings. I really struggled with this creation, possibly due to the data/information I was attempting to project. I am not 100% proud of this creation either, but I gave my best!
The original Google Drawing can be found here, which has links to the top referring sites and blog posts!
Well done Georgia. Great to see you using both these creativity mediums to capture ideas, themes and learning for your own PL. I appreciate you sharing them here so others can learn from them too.
ReplyDeleteAs discussed today and reiterated throughout the cluster, sharing is an important component of teaching and learning :) Thank you for the insightful ideas about the summer drop off, this has really made me reflect upon how I can help reduce this. Today I also begun to see more clearly the difference between a sketch note and an info graphic - both of which have their merits!
DeleteI love you graphic Georgia. I really like the way you used the pictures of the different countries. I am not surprised that your day in the life of the learner video is your top post as it is a great video.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback Clarelle - the countries are my favourite part of the info graphic! I appreciate your positive support :)
DeleteI am so happy to see you got the balance of sketchnoting and the infographics from the session Georgia. I know that you're going to make sketchnoting a part of your practice so am really keen to see where this goes, especially when you introduce it to your kids! Thanks too for the shout out :)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued to see where it goes too, watch this space! :)
DeleteLooks great +Georgia Dougherty,
ReplyDeleteI will be giving this a go.
Is it something you see learners using as well? See http://www.schrockguide.net/sketchnoting.html
Hi Maria, I hope to use infographics in the future! Tomorrow I am going to try out a sketchnote for the first time with my learners, watch this space!
DeleteHi Georgia,
ReplyDeleteOur class really enjoyed doing their sketchnotes today and many of them found their niche! Well done!
Cheers Dot! I think I will be using more in the future for sure! And go you for giving it a go :) I have blogged about today here
