 Play, Make and Create with Paula Jamieson

Play - provocations, invitations to play. Using Picturebooks means the books need to be known well. Must be read to students at least 3 times before being used for interactions. 

Making - working towards creating something

Digital Technologies Curric - Old Technologies curriculum with two new strands. How it connects with playing and making. Technologies language focus - mapping, sequencing, unplugged, debugging, 

Multimodal - the many ways you can teach and learn and dovetail into the picture books. Learning styles visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic. Music

Picture books list (Search - command F, to find a specific goal or topic within lists). Relate to learning goals

Makercards - created in google slides. QR codes. Call to Action cards. Digital cards

  • 1 or 2 choices
  • Or open-ended
Invitations to play - video

Story packs - picture book with equipment. Storage? Sharing across the team?
How to include within a crowded curriculum? 
  • Within our literacy hour as a rotation activity. 
  • Provocation in the mornings before school.
  • Numeracy picture books, numeracy time
PLAY IS KEPT SEPARATE TO MAKING.

Make - explicit teaching needs to take place NOT DECORATING!
  • attachment techniques
  • building
  • equipment - hot glue guns. Storage. NO gloves Not glue! Extra extra small Saxon Garden Gloves pk 10
  • lots of materials to provide choices - op shops/emporium nails etc. 

Challenge: How can this be infused into daily programme, not a token once a week activity that adds into the crowded curriculum.

IT constraints - 
  • smartphone microscopes app.
  • pic collage
  • keynote to add photo into a photo

Social skills 
Time for tinkering and taking apart.

CREATIVITY will be the most sort after skill in the future.

Instructions
NOT build a bridge to get across the other side. CREATE something for the buffalo to get safely across the river.
Give students choice - efficacy 
Make an insect - CREATE a new insect
Makercard - begin as open as possible exposing students to lots of opportunities.

Importance of enriching parent connections - NOT bringing home crap. Informing them of the purpose and process. Need to get parents on board so they know about the process. Putting value on the work. The journey of learning.
students who may need to finish at home - take a photo and email back to school for sharing. Completing the cycle.
