This is the community work I did a lot for during the early 2000. I found that I needed to earn my stripes before I could influence and have standing with the Pasefika community.<br />
You can read all about the session on the blog that I oversee.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We moved into digital classrooms by removing the sliding doors that separated our rooms. The new space became our ‘modern’ learning environment and we based our planning and assessment around the feedback we received from students. This change all happened within a year. The students told us what they wanted to learn and how they wanted to learn. We catered to their wants and needs to the best of our ability. Through this process, the students </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">were placed at the centre of most decision making. We supported the active involvement of learners in the design and in decision-making about what is learned, how learning occurs, and where learning takes place.</span></div>

Three teachers took me up on a holiday session with me.<br />
<br />
Nola had a session regarding Hapara and how to share a doc with her students.<br />

He also attended a #FlatConnection session led by Julie Lindsay and r<a href="http://jamiesonveni.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/flat-connections.html" target="_blank">eflected on the process here.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Elena had a technical session which included sorting out her VLN account, creating a twitter list and a blog reflection for #CENZ15 challenge. Congratulations Elena for passing 100 followers on twitter. She also wrote a reflective blog post about her <a href="http://elenanz.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/thisterm-i-was-fortunate-to-go-with.html" target="_blank">Te Waka Reo journey and you can read that here.</a><br />

I enjoy seeing the the team blogs take their turn at the top of the RSS feed.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week I have enjoyed reading the update of class happenings from <a href="http://npstako.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Kowhai </a>and from <a href="http://teakopuriri.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Puriri</a>. I think how you are maintaining the team blogs have been fabulous. I get really excited when I see some of the side widgets developing. </div>
<div>
Check out how Andrea has created her digital modelling book and is sharing this with her children. Check out how Puriri use their blog to share their tumbles.</div>
<div>
If you have a chance, do pop into the Emodo site. You should all have access to each team. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Part of the MLP thinking for us and our children is getting used to communicating digitally with our children.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have enjoyed hearing how staff are also becoming familiar with the groups on the VLN. </div>
<div>
A recent example of collaboration and sharing reflections has taken place with the development of the <a href="http://www.edblognz.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">#edblognz site </a>. As you update your own blogs I will add you to the RSS feed. I look forward to those teachers sharing what they got out from this weeks out of school professional learning. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In addition watch for what is coming. October is known as Connected Educator Month. So on twittter look out for the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/cenz15?f=tweets&vertical=default&src=hash" target="_blank">#CENZ15</a> tag. October is also a busy time for Anna and myself as we prepare to share our learning at Ulearn. I have another TeachMeetNZ happening as part of CENZ15 and this time I am cohosting with the TMSydney team. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the holidays I thought I might run a half day's session for blogger. If you are interested in pimping your blog, do let me know and I will go ahead and set it up.</div>

<br />
The highlight for me was Kowhai assembly and the children <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hzkrcgEBqYYXi6_KlzRIQGPCdrMavWYMAVzSRQBJM5Y/edit#slide=id.p" target="_blank">singing our new school</a> song created by the amazing Andrea.<br />
This is extended abstract thinking when we create.<br />
<br />
Last Saturday we had our Kapa Haka Group perform for the launch of Sandra Morris Book.<br />
The teachers involved in that were Ginny, Andrea, Elena and Sarah.<br />

In addition we had visitors come to us from Titirangi School and Medowbank school. This was through Belinda as they were coming to observe MLE. But we really know as Learning Pedagogy.<br />

<b>Moi?</b><br />
I presented on the VLN and my interview with Pete Hall came live. You can read all <a href="http://sonyavanschaijik.com/2015/08/15/birds-of-a-feather/" target="_blank">about that here.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Finally the creme de la creme, <a href="http://drwendykofoed.com/2015/08/123/" target="_blank">Wendy shared her inquiry with us.</a> Again demonstrating that she would not expect us to do stuff that she was not prepared to do herself. Wendy was also demonstrating extended abstract thinking when she reflected on her learning.<br />

Brooke challenged us to define what differentiation was - and what it wasn’t. There was a consensus from the group when presented with scenarios designed to get us thinking about whether the strategies shown were differentiated instruction or not.</span></div>

Some of us were familiar with the model, for others it was a new concept. This model describes how lessons can be differentiated in terms of PROCESS, CONTENT, PRODUCT & LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. We learned that it is not necessary to differentiate on all dimensions simultaneously. </span></div>

We looked at the importance of providing a hierarchy of questioning: factual, conceptual, and provocative, in order to establish the levels of thinking in the class. It was stressed that we must ensure that we are planned for content, processes and products that allow for abstract/conceptual thinking - vital for our gifted students. </span></div>

<br />
On Saturday TeachMeetNZ session went live.<br />
We had Natasha Walden who works with the RTLBs share '<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">My Experience as a Gamer'. For the session there were 8x New Zealand educators sharing their passion. To read more, check out <a href="http://sonyavanschaijik.com/2015/07/19/teachmeetnz-2015-session-2/" target="_blank">Sonya's reflection. </a></span><br />
<br />
Thanks to Virginia too who was there supporting as timekeeper, back up host and giving feedback. I also mention Waveney tweeting a storm as all the tweets contributed to the session trending on twitter.<br />
<br />
Remember staff, if you wish to join me in a live streamed Google Hangout like<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivMvWr5-c5o" target="_blank">Virginia Kung</a></li>
<li><a href="https://teachmeetnz.wikispaces.com/Walden_Natasha" target="_blank">Natasha Walden </a></li>

<li><a href="http://teachmeetnz.wikispaces.com/Irshad_Reubina" target="_blank">Reubina Irshad</a></li>
</ul>
Let me know. What you will get out of it is the chance to connect with New Zealand Educators nationally, you will create a presentation and share it via Google+ Hangout, you will understand how twitter works for your professional learning, you will receive a digital certificate and digital badges for your professional portfolio and most importantly you will learn heaps and have huge fun<br />
<br />
My absolute goal is to run a Newmarket only one. So think about it.<br />
<br />
Imagine a team sharing their learning journey in the new classroom setups.<br />

We also had Hazel <a href="https://twitter.com/HazelAbraham1" target="_blank">@HazelAbraham1</a>, who is on a study sabbatical join us.<br />

Virginia had asked what their visit focus would be to help us frame our thinking. The group was a little bigger than what we had realised but that was fine too as school visits like this allows our teachers to share their learning and to consolidate their thinking and you know how keen I am on teachers sharing their learning.<br />

Anna shared Kahikatea's learning with google using Hapara and Edmodo. She also shared her ongoing professional learning with mindlab and how she was developing her teacher's digital portfolio. She shared the learning that both Waveney and she had recently undertaken presenting at the GAFE conference. </div>

Ginny spoke about general learning and shared what she learnt from our recent Singapore conference attendance with regards to using 1 device between groups. She also spoke about our school's current expectation about teachers being visible online using a variety of tools such as Twitter, VLN, POND, Edmodo and blogging. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Both teachers spoke about how they were continually reflecting using their blogs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I put in a TeachMeetNZ plug and highlighted the recent learning of Belinda using Google Hangout and then her blog to reflect her learning. I shared what Ginny spoke about and showed them our curated teacher's space where our learning is transparent. I reminded them that everyone must be on the same journey including the principal, if we were expected to reflect using blogs, so was Wendy, if we were expected to be in these spaces, so was Wendy and I shared how Wendy was doing both. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Where to next? I think if schools put in requests to visit us then lets create a shared Doc of questions they are searching answers for. I also think it would be great to have feedback from visitors so I will create a generic form as this will also help us track our learning. </div>
