Week 12: Leadership and Digital- Innovative Learning Spaces and Maker Movement

This week there were six activity stations set up and we had to choose three stations to engage with across the duration of the night's session.

Here is a list below of some of the activities we explored and some associated materials to support these engaging tasks. 

1: Flexible Learning Spaces: This tool provides the opportunity for students to explore classroom environments and then make necessary adaptations etc to a model template. 


 

2: Constructing a Robotic Arm: For this activity station we needed to construct a robot arm in a collaborative group. For me, this provided an opportunity to explore the concept of 'robotics' and for me to engage with different materials.

3:  Collaborative Slideshow: For this activity, we read numerous readings and different online materials to understand how learners perceive different learning environments and what is important. 



4: Revisit and Reinforce: For this activity, we could choose to go back and explore or do any of the previous activities we had done weeks prior to this week. You could choose to reflections, journal comments, go and back and engage with different tasks like Scratch, Makey-Makey, we ad the chance to explore something that we believed we wanted, too. For me, I didn't choose this activity station. 

5: Embrace change: For this station, you had the opportunity to share your thoughts on this Post Grad course. There were numerous questions you could discuss and one of the biggest ones was thinking about technology and how you can use ICT in your classroom. This video was a very personalised task and a chance for us to reflect on our learning journey. 

6: Create and Deploy: AppInventor and Appy Pie: These two tools provide the opportunity to create a mobile app for your phone. There were detailed instructions provided, these two were very similar in the fact that they are both similar to Scratch Programing,
