Te Tihi o te Mātauranga
Professional Learning and Development 2022
The TToM committee work to bridge the knowledge gap around delivering a digitally inclusive curriculum and digital fluency in schools for kaikao and ākonga.
GCSN x Christchurch City Libraries team
Partnering with the Christchurch City Council Libraries team, we have developed three engaging PLD
opportunities designed to upskill ākonga to use digital technologies in new and creative ways. These
amazing opportunities for ākonga enable them to access support from the Christchurch City
Libraries team to further develop their digital capabilities.
These opportunities are funded entirely by us at GCSN.
Full day session (9.30am - 2.30pm)
Auahatanga - South Library
Maximum of 12 students
Ko wai au? Who am I?
A full day programme which offers ākonga the opportunity to express their identity in a creative form. Ākonga will be
supported to work through the design process and create
a physical product showcasing their design.
Ākonga will come away with a finished design file and a physical
print of their design. This may come in the form of a t-shirt, pillowcase, badge, poster, 3D print or a laser cut product
of some kind.
Note
This session is recommended for ākonga ages Year 5 and over.
Ākonga will need to supply their own T-shirt/ pillowcase to
print on. If this is a barrier for your school please let us know
and we will explore options of support.
1-2 half day workshops (morning) & 1 followup session
At your school
Do you have any digital equipment in your school that is not
being utilised effectively and may be starting to gather dust?
Perhaps a 3D printer, or a set of iPads, or cameras that were purchased a while ago that you just haven't had the
opportunity to explore the use of yet?
One of the Christchurch City Libraries team will come to your
school to work alongside you and your ākonga to demonstrate
how these technologies could be used in a meaningful way to support teaching and learning. They will upskill a champion
group of ākonga and kaiako that can then share these skills
with others at your school.
This programme would take place at your school and involve
one or two teaching sessions (half day workshops) followed
by a catchup session a few weeks later.
