Reflection on the Spirals of Inquiry by Allanah King https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh How has it been for you? What do you need to support you? What are your next steps? en-us 2017-05-16 01:31:42 UTC 2026-03-15 06:59:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Frances francesc3 https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993231 Meeting with Allanah was great to clarify the spiral process and to formulate an inquiry question and focus, which is not always easy. 
I need my kids who have devices to make sure they bring them so we actually have enough to be able to trial what I want to do.
My next steps are to get stuck into using the devices properly and making sure that I gather student voice as we are going in order to see if it is working for the students.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993231 Rebecca rebeccam9 https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993234 I am a lot clearer about my question and what the journey might look like.

Support I need
I need ideas for different apps and ways that I can engage my boys with digital devices, the ideas that I can then implement into the classroom programme.

Next steps
I need to meet with parents to share with with them and the children. Gather some reasons to why these students are so disengaged with learning.  Start to make changes to my Literacy programme to allow the digital devices to be used more appropriately.

Seems very similar to other inquiry models but nothing about the process strikes me as nonsense so that's a good start. Our team inquiry is well underway with a second round of reporting having been sent out with little issue but more feedback/response from parents, so that's a win.
What do I need?
Refine the the assessmentsheet so that the code works (I don't know if that's really needed but...), revise the tracking doc in the front of student books so that it more closely reflects the teaching and learning.
What next?
Team are planning to begin revising the assessment sheet soon.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993246 Jen jenniferg3 https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993247 I have been thinking of new and different ideas to get students to write. I need time to explore what online tools are out there and to become more familiar with the ones that I do use - and to be able to use them well. 
Next Step: Try and get more students to invest in devices, especially those who will benefit from owning their own at high school.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993247 Lyn lynm1 https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993276 It has been thoroughly enlightening. I felt ownership in creating my inquiry question and know it may still be tweeked as the focus becomes clearer. I have appreciated the opportunity to learn how to seek digital tools that will help with trialing new teaching techniques.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993276 Emma emmah7 https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993283 I like the image and new vocab of the spiral that comes with it. It seems to be a lot clearer than previous models I have seen. 
I really liked the slide Allanah gave us that had the model question that was annotated to show how to form a good inquiry question. 

I think the Tech team will work collaboratively on our inquiry so we will support each other, with the additional support of Ian Cook-Boney.

Next step is to reflect on what we have done so far with the reports. Get Student and whanau voice on the new presentation and format. Then develop our blogs/websites.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993283 Olivia oliviab8 https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993287 I have been introduced to new digital tools to help with writing.  I will need to know and be confident with using these tools so that it fully benefits the students.I need to talk to my target students to hear their views about writing. I need to get make sure that I am using my devices wisely and get students feedback as to how they are liking using the new tools.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993287 Karen https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993289 It has introduced additional ideas and processes to support both the teacher and student moving deeper into the digital world. 
Has been great working with our email reports and as a Tech team we identified ways to improve for the 2nd round of reports about to be created.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993289 Mary https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993301 I need to re-frame my inquiry into the Spiral template to get uniformity. I need to continue to research further on gaining depth to inquiry through development of adaptive thinking.
Next time would appreciate the opportunity to chat through with my hunches.]]> 2017-05-16 03:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993301 Adriaan adriaanb https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993342 Definitely a lot of new ideas. Mind change. 
Time to set up devices - blogging etc
I want to explore and implement a new approach towards learning. We need more devices.  Kids could invest in devices. Do work at home.

Our tech inquiry has started off well, our whole team is invested, positive and seem to be totally into, and capable of sending our reports via emails. Whilst the process of setting up took some time, we can all see the benefits of them now its sorted out. 
Next steps - I can't wait to create a Workshop Blog - where parents can see what's going on in there!]]> 2017-05-16 03:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993358 Brendon https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993405 It is easy to follow and clarifys my thinking into the areas necessary. You can tend to be too broad otherwise. I want to investigate more online tools and have the time to plan it. Next steps is to talk to my target children and gather their views on writing. I'll use a google form for this. Then its trying some of the tech tools available that use gamification and apply this to their writing.]]> 2017-05-16 03:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/AllanahK/538ab7lty5gh/wish/171993405
