Not a Book Club like your usual book club, look at the cover and the back of the book, drink wine, nibble on snacks and gossip. No this one is where we actually discusses the book we are reading!</p><p>Like many schools around Aotearoa, we have an interesting mixture of behaviours sitting with our tamariki some chilled and placid, some lacking resilience some with loads of confidence some desperate to be leaders. We have followers and some seeking attention, we have those who love learning and enjoy being social and then a small bunch who are struggling to fit into any of these groups above. These are the tamariki that we say are 'out of control and often viewed as disrespectful'. How do we work to help these tamariki slide into spaces where they are wanting to learn and have control over their responses and are self regulating? As kaiako, we need to relearn some of our strategies, reflect on how they are landing with these tricky tamariki, fill our kete up with these new ways of being and try to make school a positive experience for both our tricky tamariki, all the other tamariki at school and our kaiako.</p><p><br /></p><p>The author of our first Book Club book ,<b> Ross W Greene, PH.D </b>has also written a book titled <i>'The Explosive Child' </i>which immediately got my attention. Further reading on the back of the book I noticed that he works with whānau, various detention units as well as schools. This holistic approach to nurturing and guiding the development of our tamariki with strong support and aroha wrapped around them sits well with me and so with anticipation I started reading Chapter 1. The book was really easy to jump into as it described a scenario that often we see happening in our schools through a conversation and then a reflection. The kicker at the end of the chapter was what made me want to continue, "we're loosing a lot of kids and a lot of teachers because we view challenging kids the wrong way and handle them in ways that don't address their true difficulties. It's an exercise in frustration for everyone involved, and it's time to get off the running wheel."</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2hatfTYKX3LS1T-QfO_6ABtBHnyULBV0ZeoSproxQL3GQGQYcC6KOQJ_apE5d9S_wbyzFmQhx3OPkW6vE_sFG4gp1v9VnVfjFFh0CYciJdVdfny0oXvb8r0hwIN7VWcBLEHA6ReglXpYXXLNED0z6k6oPdM6OkQba_MZJsR4E7BFLE0eqWNHJUwQ/s4032/IMG_7954.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2hatfTYKX3LS1T-QfO_6ABtBHnyULBV0ZeoSproxQL3GQGQYcC6KOQJ_apE5d9S_wbyzFmQhx3OPkW6vE_sFG4gp1v9VnVfjFFh0CYciJdVdfny0oXvb8r0hwIN7VWcBLEHA6ReglXpYXXLNED0z6k6oPdM6OkQba_MZJsR4E7BFLE0eqWNHJUwQ/s320/IMG_7954.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Heather Matthewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11755416258273037912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147998921111121852.post-50814810443813908112020-06-26T10:03:00.002+12:002020-06-26T10:09:30.786+12:00DFI Day 8<span style="font-size: x-large;">Empowerment</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But the most <span style="font-size: large;">empowering</span> part of the day for me was the chance to participate in a bubble and learn all about coding using Mihi Maker. Such a cool resource and I absolutely loved spending time creating my digital mihi. I didn't quite get it finished but I spent the evening completing it as I wanted to share it on my blog. I am desperate to show the tamariki how to do this as they will LOVE it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So did I feel <span style="font-size: large;">empowered? </span>Yes definitely and the feeling that I got from being able to accomplish something really cool, that I couldn't do before was a reminder of the daily challenge that we have as educators to uplift our tamariki, top up their kete and empower them to be creative directors of their own lives.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
I have been using Hapara for a few years now, but only since the DFI have I really used the next layer of functions. This knowledge makes an already great tool amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hints for me... </span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Really important to not let the tamariki create their own folders as they are not visible on teacher dashboard.
</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember that you can sort tamariki within class folders. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is a 15 min view so the tamariki's docs don't clutter your files. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Check anonymous comments to make sure they are appropriate. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If they don't have a gmail account they will come as anonymous. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Sharing is where you locate all the files that aren’t filed in the correct place a bit like tidying up the desk in the old days! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Class info change kids passwords if required. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Privacy around viewing tamariki activity out of school hours.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Just because you can it doesn't mean you should……. you should have a conversation.</b></span></span>

</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br />
Guided browsing good if you want to lock tamariki onto an activity for a period of time. I really like how Dorothy suggested that we have a conversation with the tamariki and explain why and that it will come off once we have completed the activity.
Activity viewer is great for checking in on collaboration and who is working where.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The principles of the treaty were very much at the forefront when designing the Manaiakalani pedagogy, creating equity and being absolutely faithful with the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> It is important that the words 'by in' are not used when getting whānau involved, our whānau are in partnership with us and it is important to understand that whānau are part of the decision making with everything including the Kawa of Care. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When originally approached to contribute to the Kawa of Care the whānau actually strengthened and added vigour to the document. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Teachers need to be mindful of removing devices from tamariki as a consequence as these devices are their book and pencil. We need to be respectful of the right of the child to participate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Using the iceberg analogy once again, protection is above the surface of the iceberg all the things we teach the children about being in cybersmart and our presence and support however the other part of protection is under the water, the background security measures that at put in place to keep all of our digital footprints squeaky clean.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This week we have been revisiting the tamariki making smart choices about where they should be as far as their learning...not wandering around the google suite or internet but staying focused on the task at hand. So this activity has really been timely for me and I plan to use it in the classroom net week. The tamariki will really enjoy taking screenshots of their smart choices. One of the great things about Screencastify is that it is rewindable, so having this available caters for the differentiation of ability and focus in the classroom.</span></span><br />

<h2>
Hapara</h2>
<div>
I didn't realise how useful the blog post and comment section on the teacher dashboard was and now that I know how to find it easilyI can see the benefits of using this to increase my workflow. </div>

<h2>
Visibility</h2>
<div>
I used to think that making myself visible was quite scary, however once I got comfortable with blogging and using my classroom website I found this part of the pedagogy easier to do. It occurred to me during lockdown that I didn't really enjoy videoing myself let alone publishing it warts and all for the public to view. I then realised that the content of the video was really what people were wanting to see ...not me.... and this changed my perception. In speaking with the tamariki, they love using the classroom website where everything is visible, there are no issues with sharing and access and they can rewind their learning whenever the want to. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Multi-Modal</h2>
<div>
I'm a big fan of multi-modal and remember focusing on this for my MIT inquiry using writing as the curriculum area. I can see the huge benefits in this approach and transferring this approach across other learning areas makes so much sense. I enjoyed the presentation unpacking the 2 parts to multi-modal as explained below in the images.</div>

<h2>
A Chance to Level Up</h2>
</div>
<div>
This was a chance to create our very own multi-modal reading resource and it was a great time sharing ideas in a small group and having an expert on hand. I felt a lot ore comfortable creating from scratch a template using google draw which I guess is an indicator of progress rather than adapting someone elses. I had lots of fun and I thik I may have cracked a layout which can reuse over and over again that is eye cathing and simple to follow. The other feature that I like with this template that I have created is that it explicitly has learn, create and share spaces and visibility also features with the blog post requirement. </div>
<div>

Here is a <a href="https://sites.google.com/s/18gE57vIwhGtC3HlQqQyx1Sa-gTwWof8m/p/1I0rbp06Bmbx1AhBeGNwIQ_OAYVACm-kA/edit">link to my multi-modal</a> page and resource. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<h2>
Website development</h2>
<div>
I love my classroom website, the layout and feeling that I get when I share it with the tamariki. It really does reflect our classroom culture and I know that the tamariki enjoy using it too. I have spent alot of time creating it and learning along the way has been empowering. There are still many things for me to learn however and so today having some time to play around was a real treat.</div>

Looking at the agenda I saw some deep dives that I could see would be really valuable to assist my workflow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">How did they day unfold...</span><br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-large;">SHARE</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dorothy presented a fantastic session on the <b>share</b> part of the Manaiakalani pedagogy which actually created an epiphany for me. It wasn't only around what share is or how we can use it to engage and motivate the tamariki, but on a personal note. In my Kahui Ako role I am focussing on Learn, Create, Share, pedagogy though a bicultural lens including modelling pedagogy and supporting teachers in the cluster. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In Dorothy's presentation she showed a slide which demonstrated how share has been around forever, she then went further into her presentation and showed a slide with images on it of sharing. It occurred to me that from a bicultural perspective there are many narratives, stories, real life examples and mythical stories that demonstrate fantastic morsels of learn, create and share. Situations that have occurred and presented themselves aligning directly with these three words. I thought that it would be a valuable idea to select some images, through a bicultural lens with backstories included, to unpack this pedagogy further. Maybe I could create an image that would be useful to share wider than the Kahui Ako? </span><br />

However now after being shown the ins and outs and the exciting things that we can create I see them in a whole new light. I see so much potential to assist my workflow and organisation especially with gathering and collating data on assessment etc. With reports due in a few weeks I am going to make a commitment to use a spreadsheet to gather data and also try the customise option to highlight those tamariki that are my target tamariki. I will need lots of practise to get around these and there is so much to learn but I now feel engaged in this part of the google suite. Maybe I will become one of those very organised people? With my tamaiki I know that there are many opportunities to use spread sheets and I will introduce the blog posts activity to them as a taster of the possibilities.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A seriously cool tool. Maria introduced me t</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">o My Map and I had so much fun playing around with it. I can see many uses for this tool in the classroom starting with tamariki plotting their whakapapa on a map of Aotearoa, their marae, awa, maunga etc. A visual on these places would be amazing as a digital pepeha. Lots to unpack and explore here... I have a feeling that the tamariki will be really savvy with this tool and it will become one of the go to tools for create. This was my map of holiday destinations of our Thursday DFI cohort that I created.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-weight: 400;">Revisiting Google Forms and diving a little deeper was exciting. I learnt how to add an image into my form and am going to spend more time over the next few weeks learning how to make pathways. Here is a copy of the form I created. It was done very quickly and next time I would like to spend more time developing quality questions and response opportunities I really wanted to practise inserting images today.</span></span></div>

Mihi</h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">It was so nice to be welcomed back and to be a part of this large online cohort. Starting the day with karakia from Makaore set the tone and the efficient way we moved through the agenda maximised the learning. What a day of learning it was... </span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I met the wonderful Kerry and her team and felt very included in the space...ngā mihi Kerry.</span></span></h4>
<br />
<h2>
Manaiakalani Pedagogy</h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Listening to Dorothy present on Create was a reminder to me that the CREATE part of the Manaiakalani pedagogy is so important as we encourage those tamariki who may be disconnected with learning or unmotivated to stay excited. It really is at the heart of the matter and has been around for so long. If we look at research from 60 years ago we see tamariki creating, it's not new! Reflecting on our 8 weeks lockdown, the joy that sparked the tamariki over this period, was the create, there was an abundance of problem solving, adapting and thinking outside the square over this period. Tamariki were tapping into their creativity.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Youtube</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Revisiting Youtube and the benefits of creating playlists is an area that is new to me and something that will definitely increase my workflow. Rather than hunting around and then being diverted to other kaupapa I personally can see benefit in taking the time and getting these playlists embedded into my site. If this is going to save me time I can only imagine how much more focussed the tamariki will be if they are not zooming around wasting time as well. It was also a chance to recheck settings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Levelling up</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoyed working on Google Draw today with Makaore and Gerhard. This is an area where my tamariki are better than me at using and I really wanted to develop my skills around this. A perfect opportunity to earn how to layer and also use the tools to trace and colour images. I feel a lot more confident with this tool now and see the benefits of being able to incorporate it in the create pedagogy space.It was fun and has endless possibilities.</span></div>

Reflection</h2>
<div>
As always these days are so beneficial to me as a teacher and mentor but also personally as I take time to put aside the daily rituals and really focus on developing my weaknesses or areas that I feel less confident in. I wasn't sure about how the online delivery would go but after finishing todays session I am excited, positive, buzzing and ready for next week.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What's all the fuss about?</b></span><br />
Because I had no real idea how to use this amazing feature I didn't realise how useful it would be to have that face to face contact with the class without actually being present. In light of what is happening around the world I see the urgency in learning how to be proficient in this method of delivery.<br />
<br />
It was a bit confusing to start with but I think with lots of practise it will become easier. I am excited about doing a tuition with my class on Monday. We had a go as a small group which was lots of fun and I am keen to have a go at using the new recording function that is a part of Google Hangouts, however it hasn't been pushed out to us yet. At this stage we need to use Quick Time to record.<br />
<br />
It was really great to join a hangout with someone in Auckland and reflect on the Manaiakalani pedagogy with a focus on Learn.<br />
To start with we looked at the 4 goals of learn...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

A hack that I took away from this deep dive was that you can use the recording function in Google Keep and it will convert it to text.<br />

Look at some cool hacks and setting features to personalise my Mail to suit me. I really enjoyed finding our more about this as Google Mail is so important in my daily work. My to do from this deep dive is to setup my email signature. I remember that DJ Burt mentioned to keep it professional with no bitmoji and photos so I have to get that done.

This would have to be the most useful Deep Dive today for me today and an app that I am embarrassed to say I have never really used properly. I have used the surface features but because I haven't learnt ins and outs it has been a chore to add all my events and appointments. Now that I am more familiar I can see myself using this all the time. It will ensure I don't forget appointments and take away the stress of having to remember everything. Love it! The added benefits of being able to invite people to Hangouts etc easily is also great. My hack would be to use Google Calendar to send notes to reliever within an appointment.<br />

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was introduced to the benefits of using Google Groups for communicating with whānau and teachers using one email address.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It ensures no one is left out, easy to share docs, time efficient, you don't need a gmail or a google account. You can search the thread using tags.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I see this as a great way to send out class emails to whānau while still keeping their privacy intact. To email teachers within a group, syndicate.</span></div>

This year has been an amazing journey for me, I have extended myself out of my comfort zone and written a children's picture book with the children in my class. Been given the opportunity by KPMG and the time and guidance of my peers I have contributed to the pool of key competency resources available to our teachers in Aotearoa.<br />
<br />
A short video of my journey and the resource that I have developed is below. If you would prefer to have a pdf copy of the book to read at your leisure please click on the link provided. Feel free to share as you wish.<br />

I realised that when learning something new and quite complicated that stories are a really good way to solidify the knowledge and make it easier to recall information. Then I had an idea... if this works for me, and I know it has worked for the tamariki in the past to recall knowledge, maybe it is the pathway I need to take to further the development of a resource for my inquiry.<br />
<br />
So I am looking to use a legend as a metaphor for self management and retell this as a digital book, linking specific parts of the story to self management characteristics.<br />
<br />
I want to use our staff at Hornby Primary School, the tamariki and also art work that the tamariki have created to illustrate the digital book. Time to prepare a storyboard. The legend will be in the middle of the book somehow and the tamariki will discuss the legend, learn some strategies from it and use these to make change for the better.<br />
<br />
Time to storyboard and get the planning underway...<br />
<br />
I took some photos, a short video and captured the tamariki's wonderful artwork to illustrate the book. At this time I hadn't really decided on which legend I was going to use and I had a play around with a couple of different ones. I eventually ended up using the legend of Nukutāwhiti and how he voyaged to Aotearoa. Because I work in a bilingual classroom, it was important for me to develop this resource for the tamariki through both a mainstream and a Māori lens.<br />
<br />
It took ages to pull it all together but I was really happy with the finished product which is below.<br />
<br />
My next step is to create a unit plan with a variety of lessons that can be used to further develop the self management key competency.<br />
<br />
Prior to developing this resource I got the tamariki to take a questionnaire about their attitude in the classroom with a focus on key competencies. After working with the resource, I plan to get them to retake the questionnaire again in Term 4 and analyse that data.<br />

To complete our amazing Sydney experience we were treated to a tour of Google Sydney. I wasn't really sure what to expect but the experience was mind blowing. The following photos are a snapshot of the tour and there was so much more. We weren't allowed to take photos with any Googlers in them or of any sensitive areas or work spaces so these few images are only the tip of the iceberg. Huge thanks to our wonderful Google guides, Kimberley Sutton and Christie Tannous for sharing your valuable time with us.<br />

Most of us had reflected since our last hui and changed our focus question or direction.<br />
<br />
I shared with the group how my focus had changed since meeting up with one of the people that I had previously identified as an expert. After discussing my proposal for inquiry with her we discussed the identified problem and picked it to bits. As a result I realised that it was not 'child speak' that the key competencies had to be translated into but 'teacher speak.'<br />
<br />
The learning of the key competencies needs to start at the top and then once teachers are familiar with what they look like, sound like and feel like they can then use this knowledge to inform their planning and classroom delivery.<br />
<br />
So where to now?? A prototype needs to be designed so that I have direction for my next stage.<br />
<br />
I am hugely grateful to KPMG for the opportunity to create and explore ideas with my colleagues in such a vibrant, motivating space. Thank you also Justine for your time and feedback today.<br />

I decided to focus on the Key Competencies and creating a tool that would enable children to access the language of the competencies easier. To redesign our initial proposal for the inquiry, we completed a crazy eight brainstorm. This was new to me however I found it very useful to challenge my thinking and reposition my focus.

I left the hui with a clearer picture on what my MIT inquiry would be and was very appreciative of the feedback and enquiring minds that my colleagues on MIT 2018 journey shared with me.

<span style="font-size: small;">This year I have been fortunate enough to have been accepted on the MIT 2018 programme. I am looking forward to contributing to the development of the Manaiakalani pedagogy; Learn, Create, Share and looking for innovative ways to achieve the goals of the programme. This is also a professional development opportunity for me to sit amongst a group of individuals with wonderfully inquiring minds. </span></h2>

I wanted to present professionally and keep the audience engaged and excited while unpacking my inquiry findings. The results to date have proved that the intervention has been successful and I am excited to share what I have implemented in the classroom.<br />
<br />
After researching how to do an Ignite presentation (20 slides which auto advance) 15 seconds each slide, presentation over in 5 minutes, I had to really condense previous presentations and cut all the extra information. Every word had to be carefully chosen and the slides had to be carefully prepared with a balance of images and text which was easy on the eye while still keeping the "guts" of the inquiry intact.<br />
<br />
So I started to create..... Once I had completed it and matched the notes to fit, I then converted it into Keynote . That was exciting as I hadn't used Keynote for ages but it turned out well and I felt happy with it. All was needed now was lots of practise.<br />
<br />
The day came, the presentation went well and I felt excited to be able to share my findings with other educators. Then I found out that John Couch the Vice President of Education at Apple had listened to my presentation....this was awesome such a privilege.<br />
<br />
<br />
Below are links to my presentation and also my supporting notes. There is still more work to be done but to date things are looking good, the presentation is done and end point data collection is on the horizon.<br />

<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I hear my ship gliding through space, it was as smooth as a car on a freshly made road. The first thing I see is the beautiful star. It was as shiny as diamonds.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After reading many articles on the benefits of using a multimodal approach to enhance the quality of writing, I decided to implement a couple of the approaches I had read about, in the classroom to see what would happen.</span></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.academypublication.com/issues/past/tpls/vol01/10/07.pdf" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Multimodal Learnin</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">g This link explains the multimodal approach in detail if you are interested. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had read that :</span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1.</span><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'Words and Pictures are Better than Words Alone.
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone (Mayer, 2005). Words include written and spoken
text, and pictures include static graphic images, animation and video. The use of both words and pictures lets the brain
processes more information in working memory (Sweller, 2005). Mayer (2005) tells us that narration and video is much
more effective than narration and text. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2.</span><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'Multimedia Learning is more Effective When it is Interactive and under the Control of the Learner.
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not all students learn at the same pace. Research tells us that when learners are able to control the pace of the
presentation they learn more. Multimedia presentations are more effective when the learner has the ability to interact
with the presentation, by slowing it down or by starting and stopping it. This pacing can also be achieved by breaking
the presentation into segments; shorter segments that allow users to select segments at their own pace work better than
longer segments that offer less control (Mayer, 2003).'</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Which brought me to this question. </span></div>
