Its been a long time between drinks but great to be back with another edition of the digi digest.

Linc Ed
Now that we have completed back mapping and gone live with goals we thought it might be helpful to run through a couple of options to insert student evidence into linc ed.
We will run a techie Brekkie this Thursday, June 6th to offer further help with this. Please come with questions and any other good ways or ideas regarding how to show evidence.

Linc Ed Evidence 1. Photos
  • Take a photo and have students scribe or highlight over it on seesaw explaining what they have done.
  • Set up a linc ed evidence folder on your computer name and save the photo to this folder.
  • Go to the student's page on linc ed. In the appropriate curriculum folder (reading, writing, maths) click share something and write a comment on what the student has achieved.
  • Upload the photo by clicking in drag and drop files here to access it in your linc ed folder.
  • Linc to appropriate key competencies and goals.
2. Video
  • Take a video of a student showing evidence of a goal.
  • Save it to your own google drive or the Bayfield school google drive. (If saving it to the Bayfield school drive save it to your team folder.)
  • Please let us know if you need user name and password details to this.

  • Go to the student's page on linc ed. In the appropriate curriculum folder (reading, writing, maths).
  • Click share something and write a comment on what the student has achieved.
  • Upload the video by clicking in access your google account.
  • Linc to appropriate key competencies and goals.








Seesaw Global Classroom

Recently the Kowhai and Pohutukawa Teams made a Global connection with School in Texas. Each day they swapped posts on a seesaw classroom and found out about each others schools, lives and countries. Not only did students gain an insight into the life of an American student they loved showing off their work and explaining how they learn, play and enjoy school life. See below a link for more information.

This initiative is an ideal way to incorporate the our key strategic goal of connect (Tuhono) into your programmes.

Digital Curriculum Update

We are excited to announce that our application for PD to help with training and establishment of the digital curriculum has been accepted. We have been awarded 80 hours of training and have commissioned David Kinane to help us. this will run from term 4 through to mid 2020. The aim will be to give you practical training to enable you to feel comfortable teaching the digital curriculum

David is a digital education expert who you may remember from his previous time at Bayfield. He has a lot of expertise with Maker Space and is going to help us to set up the Bayfield Maker Space in room 3.
Interested in learning some new digital and STEM skills?
Please can we have a volunteer from each team to become a digital ambassador. This is an opportunity to upskill your digital kite through the Digital Readiness Programme and training with David Kinane. No previous experience required. It will involve around an hour per week initially to complete the online digital readiness course. Once up and running in terms 4 and 1 of next year, release time will be given for sessions with David in electronics, coding and STEM projects.

Hour of Code We are excited to announce Bayfield's participation in the:  Hour of Code Friday 7th of December Junior School: 10 - 11am Middle School: 11.30 - 12.30pm Senior School: 1.40 - 2.40pm This international event is the largest learning experience in history! In the last 4 years, over 100 million students world-wide have taken part. The Hour of Code began as a one-hour coding challenge to give students a fun first introduction to computer science and has become a global learning celebration and awareness event. During the hour students will enjoy a selection of one-hour digital and stem activities suitable for all levels of experience and ages. The basic message of Hour Of Code is that w e live in a world surrounded by technology and we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works. By encouraging students to tr...

Welcome to Digi Digest#11 We are in the planning phase for 2020 when our new digital ambassador team (Michaela, Amanda, Ash and Jack),with help from David Kinane, will be ready to help us implement the Digital Curriculum into our programmes.  In the meantime h ere are a few ideas to help create some new digital  outcomes to help with our focus on technology this term. We now have 11 Makey Makeys available for use.  Students of all ages had great fun making musical  instruments with them at holiday coding club.  There are so many ways makey makeys can be used to explain circuitry and create interactive outcomes such as (musical instruments, lights, sensors and interactive posters.) See link for some good starter projects. How to Makey Makey ideas   Let me know if you would a run through how to use them. .                                      ...
