Over the week 2/5/19-9/5/19

Hi all,
It was great to see that you have come back from the holidays refreshed and motivated for a new term of art history.

Hopefully, our focus for the next few weeks was been made really clear in our Google Meet.
We are starting our written synthesis. Read through the google doc I made (it is on the Modules of learning page of our blog) and get super familiar with it. There is lots in it that is designed to support you through writing the synthesis.

The purpose of the written synthesis is to capture the knowledge building work that you have been doing over the past few weeks. When you have completed the synthesis, I will give you a grade and feedback, written with assessment for learning in mind. *NB assessment for learning is about giving you feedback that will be useful for your learning and us setting goals for what you need to do next. This means you will be able to improve your work as the year goes on. Think of the synthesis as a way of capturing your ongoing learning, rather than a full stop to your learning.

I would recommend reading through the synthesis carefully (post any questions)
See which parts of the synthesis your knowledge forum notes already answer.
See what kind of gaps you have.
Spend time writing notes in knowledge forum exploring aspects you still need to cover.

Break it down into little bits. If the synthesis is due on the 16th of May, what can you do each day to work towards the synthesis?

I hope this makes sense. Please feel free to ask questions so that we can further unpack what is needed.

Art History VC 23/09/20

 Kia ora all, How are we all? -to some of you For those of you who are working on the internal and not sitting the art history external/s this week is a natural ending point to your course with the assignment being due on Friday. My grand plan is to get marking sorted this weekend so that my moderator has all of the holidays to look at your work. All going well I should have marks back to you in week one of term four. Online courses can often have an abrupt ending when students go on study leave or complete their internal programme ... I wanted to give people a chance to reflect on how they've grown as a learner and the skills or mindsets they'll take with them. Add your reflection here  Maybe do this as you join the call so that you have something to do as everyone else is connecting. We'll then have a bit of meta chat about this. I'm going to poll you on how you are feeling about your work in art history (assignment or externals). I'll then open up the floor for q...

Our Google Meet 21/02/19

21/02/19 Admin: Have we got set up with our netnz address yet? Here is  a guide for how to do it  and here is a  video  I recorded of setting up my netnz to forward to my regular mailbox, so I don't have to keep track of 2 emails. Sorry I was figuring out how to do it while I was recording, so please be patient I did get there in the end. You will need the netnz address primarily to access the Google+ community (Google will make it so that you can only access a community if you are from the same education domain as the owner e.g. netnz). How I'm organising my blog. As a research team which area of art history do we want to focus on? We need to pick whether we want to focus on Late Renaissance or Early Modernism as a group. We'll discuss this as a class. Getting to know each other.  Review  the work that we've done so far. Where in the world. Explain your location to the class and why you identify ...

Our Google Meet this week.

I would like to start using screencastify to record our google meets so that we can refer back to discussion if that is ok with you. I would keep them in a google drive folder that is accessible just to us. Today's recording in particular would be shared with my HoD who appraises my teaching each year. Today will be a bit admin-y as there is a bit to cover in terms of what we need to be working towards NCEA wise. Starting with what's on top for us . What is happening in our worlds and where we are at with our research into the values.  Please share some interesting discoveries and how they have helped your understanding of the big picture.  What has been helpful for you (on the website, on KF or some other sources?  (NB - when you click on the link, scroll down to the red padlet). We will then spend a bit of time adding to Knowledge Forum . This could be adding research you have been  doing as a note. Or new questions that have come up after doing research...
