Week 5 Digital reflection
Consider how the new digital curriculum might link to your Digital 1 innovation - might this affect how you lead the implementation of your innovation?
yes - the new curriculum has stages of development that help to reach a higher level of thinking.
Coding and coding collaboratively to solve a problem helps to raise the level rather than just coding individually.

a set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps, as for finding the greatest common divisor.
Their belief that the next try has a chance of success is what fuels their perseverance, and over time, this results in higher achievement (Blackwell et al., 2007).
studies show that students’ motivation, perseverance and achievement can be increased by teaching a growth mindset (Aronson et al., 2001; Blackwell et al., 2007; Good et al., 2003).
On the other hand, praising effort and hard work focuses students on learning and creates “gritty,” resilient learners.
“error climate,” important elements of the classroom environment that can hinder or promote risk-taking and a student’s ability to sustain a sense of self-efficacy (Steuer, et al, 2013).
Embedding growth mindset in a school or classroom culture includes embedding it into the curriculum. Instruction should reflect the language, strategies, and expectations of effortful learning, risk-taking, and productive failure. Students need to learn how to persevere in smart and strategic ways, ways that may be different from one content area to another. And teachers and peers need to commit to the culture, as well reinforce and reward resilient behavior. It’s a challenge, but those of us with a growth mindset seek them out.

Researching
Week 5 - Using the
The Mind Lab e-library
Use the search engine quite specifically
Have a goal or purpose.
Referencing can be clicked on paper clip and copy pasted into APA referencing.
I used the KC as a search can use leadership attributes as a key word as well.
Can also use google scholar - for specifically things in New Zealand.

Reflection on What 60 Schools Can Tell Us About Teaching 21st Century Skills
What 60 Schools Can Tell Us About Teaching 21st Century Skill
Travelled around America states.
Noticed that each schools have problems that the other solve.
Change from industrial model.
Hard change changes of greif /don’t know why it shold be that hard
Berlin airlift was hard raising children in poverty as single mum is hard.
Change is comlicated and essey change is uncomfortable
Bright lights of inovation mosaic innovation
Student ownership of learning
Blooms taxonomy - talking to us how we learn
Adaptive crossing subject boundaries
Relavant - connect the dots
Empathy -
Innnovation vrs tradition that makes us strong
2nd grader ewe fail forward and fail
Industrial age model not going back
Global eco system.
4.50000 years living through explosive resoluation of 5th sphere
Philophines ive off $2 a day are connected to the cognetisphere.... connected through a cell phone how we connect going forward.
Where do we want to be as educators what does great learning look like?
Medasorrie told us
We as the adults have constructed in attempt to control education
My class, my subject my time
Dams we have burned
innovation is marvellous
college board shove into packets of context rather than contect
prevent us from commections silos of classroom inward focus rather than going out
break down the dams education is exploding
1 teach into the inknown don’t know what it is like.
If world changing -timeless skills not 21st century skills teach to be self evolving learners we need to become self evlving learners.
Constant change
preparing for their future not their past.
Challenge issue to us
Dont talk just do fan fires of innovation
learning opportunities of learning.
What we can do with the information that we have.
Content driven rather than context driven.
Learning organistaion and organistational learning.
I go to a place to learn = learning org
All learn together = eco system.
