I wrote to the Australian PM as one of her ‘neighbors’ urging her to step in and protect Australia’s food supply and stop GM wheat from being grown in Australia. Here is a blog post from the same organization on the same topic that would probably take the same amount of time to skim read as it would to watch the video. It looks to me like it could have been done on Prezi or something similar (probably more sophisticated than that?) but I liked the pace, the graphics, the voice-over timed with the graphics and I especially appreciated the message! I also have him to thank for this example of a graphic presentation from Greenpeace. I usually fear he is merely placating me and nodding along as I talk about all these things but then surprises me by sharing a perfect example of the exact thing I have been talking about! I have him to thank for the Day Made of Glass videos, as an example. My husband is often spotting gems on YouTube and passing them on to me. What do you consider when creating provocations? It was perfect for the job at hand and in about 13 minutes, I had created this: I had shared this with our German teachers and I loved how easy it was to use. I shared these with our art teacher and we were on to something but then life and time (or lack thereof) got in the way and I knew I wasn’t giving her enough time to work her magic. So, what to do? I tend to think in pictures so started sketching out some ideas. Some good ideas but the presentation? Not my cup of tea at all.
A quick read back indicated that there wasn’t a real tie in to what we were doing in terms of creating provocation guidelines for teachers. Very timely was the PYP chat on Sept 11th which was about….Provocations! There are loads of great resources on the PYP Chat Wiki that you should check out.Īs life would have it, I was ‘stuck’ (I will never complain about this part of being a mom) reading to and snuggling with my daughter so I missed the first 45 minutes of the Europe PYP Chat.
In preparing for this meeting, we started thinking about the criteria for a great provocation. We are starting later this week with a look at our provocations. It is our nod to Genius Hour and we want to see it embedded into units of inquiry in a way that lets students see that they can follow their passions and curiosities through the lens of an inquiry unit.

The inquiry team at school is working on a series of staff meetings devoted to inquiry and building inquiry into our planning of units of work to allow students to grow individual inquiries. 😦Īny suggestions for things to add to the resources below for people new to creating a Personal Learning Network? Your feedback is welcome! Click on the images below to go to the Flyer and the Presentation: The only hitch with this one is that our tech department can’t help us with the firewall situation that is blocking access to the images via the iPad app at school. All the images are licensed for Creative Commons use. Instead, when you type in a few key words or a sentence with your main point, Haiku Deck will offer you pictures that match those words for you to choose as your background images. It is minimalist in design and won’t allow you to fill your slides with thousands of words. Haiku Deck is a piece of presentation software with a Presentation Zen feel. Educators can sign up for $59USD per year which gives access to many education themed backgrounds, a default private setting, and unlimited flyers (so your kids can go crazy and make flyers too!).

They offer free accounts which do not expire but do have a 5 flyer limit. Smore is a great way of putting a lot of multi-media information neatly into one spot. Part of my job as a Learning Technology Teacher is sharing tools with teachers so I decided to use two ways of publishing that I don’t always use. I have put together a Haiku Deck to summarize my main points and then expanded on these in a Smore Flyer. I am sharing some ideas with teachers at my school about building a Personal Learning Network.
