Comment kete's - whanau involvement

So...

        trying to increase the commenting, input and engagement not only with their personal learning but by sharing the love of the educational journey which my Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu students and teachers are all on and on the back of a staff meeting (Manaiakalani - T1: LEARN RPS) where there was some dispondency from staff about the lack on commenting on their blogging I started wondering!

When I wonder, I wander...

                                                                                      ... and thus birthed Mrs Collins's comment kete!

I challenged two of my TMTA classes who are on a "super-fast-track" this year in terms of digital embracement to up their comments on their class blogs and spread the word in terms of whanau involvement by offering the delights of my kete should they rise to the challenge.

In one of the classes there were 2 recipients who had not only individually engaged but also spread the word of the class blog by obtaining external comments...therefore they received the delights of the depths from my kete.  In the other class there were no external comments, but 8 members (50%) of the class had taken time to read and respond appropriately to the learning on their class blog with 14 comments in the 6 days since my previous session.

 

It would be fair to say presently that the REWARDS far outweigh the RECOGNITION, but I know based upon past experience that over time this will change and the RECOGNITION that they will receive in the context of their learning will be REWARD enough.










I am also working on adapting a commenting card for whanau originall designed by KB and currently being used by CC...
