Flipped Classrooms

Moving from Consumers to Creators - How do we do this?

Mid Year School Holidays - Thinking and Working still continues...

So it's the mid year school holidays and I'm amazed at what I've actually retained and can relate back to the Mind Lab course. I'm on my facebook, driving down the street or talking with friends and whānau and I realise that some of the stuff that I'm seeing, discussing or engaging in seems familiar. I recently liked a friends post on Facebook that discussed " Disruptive Innovations" and another on "Disruptive thinking: rocket fuel for Māori innovation". I read the articles and I could relate to the content. Another example is that  I'm reflecting over the work done recently this term. Our whānau Ruru (Syndicate) had a school gala where we raised money for 2 charities. The discussions that we had in class with my students were around how to make our stall for the gala more appealing to the consumers. The topic of loyalty cards and buy 1 get 1 free were discussed. I was pleased that I could contribute to the discussion since remembering some of my notes from the "Gaming Session" we had 2 weeks prior to our gala.
As recently as yesterday I found myself helping a relative who was working on an assignment. I asked if she was allowed to work collaboratively with others from her class and to bounce ideas of them as well.
I have enjoyed this journey so far. I am nervous about the non-contact time ahead. A positive is that I have a great support team whom I work with to keep me on task and motivated.
