I am looking for new ways to support students self-directed learning in technological/project based inquiry lead learning. My focusses are on teaching and learning that allow student's higher self-determination (heutogogy) in ways that are outisde of the box. I've been struggling with designing a blended learning program in food tech this year. So, this background will give me plenty of ways to glean from this conference.

The following tools are new ideas to add:

• ideo.org Design Kit
• Marriane's fluid model - teacher driven and student driven - see large pic below
• STEAM Lean Template - involving students in the design process
• redesign the portfolio so it really reflects a student and their desires/personality etc...
• Linc-ed - as a tool to take portfolio/blog - possible reflective question - I struggled with..., who/what and how did I help someone else? who/what and how was I helped?
• Add learning on a greater and global scale eg include the UN Sustainability Goals - 17
• What about our students who prefer performances/arts
• An educator as a connector - my previous thinking was as facilitator
• The future may have nothing to do with the content but with how we interact/connect or not!

Interestingly as an educator when I go in to relieve in our core classes I walk in and give a passion based student self designed learning curriculum. What I do add on the spot is a teacher driven project.

CFPLD - talk with Bec about getting support from Matt Richards @sirmattrichard

Also, do some more research on portfolios - check other schools eg Kowhai Intermediate.

Collaborative projects:

• Creating a book - use a sustainable development un goal
• creating a music video - number of ideas - again un sus goals or any other socially meaningful issues students are currently faced with.

0940 - 1040 - Prof Brian Lucid Head of Ngā Pae Māhutonga - School of Design

Brian Lucid is an interaction designer guided by questions that address the relations among visual design, complex information and the ability of people to learn and adapt to unfamiliar processes. His practice-led research envisions, defines and implements innovative, functional and engaging human-computer interfaces for government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, design studios, cultural institutions, and emerging start-ups.

Speculating the future 2068 (49 years). First years today will exit the work force and retire in 2068. We can organise the possibility of futures down to plausibility, probability, preferable.

• Designing - conceptualising a future. Can we give students the design (knowledge, skills, behaviour) to enter into a preferred future.

Three possible futures: (and a fourth)

• 1. no design in the future (lacks creativity) - the credibility rift
• 2. the systems divide - technology reigns through design - designed for systems not people - data driven design systems eg Netflix images
• 3. the ethics chasm - thoughtless design, for consumption

1. No design in the future

The dilemmas of curricular design - we don't have time to do it all, how do we incorporate key skills eg collaboration,

Look up how do I make a prototype, how do I conduct an interview

• Donut programs evolve out of not evaluating your program.

In your curriculum

• define a clear graduate profile
• address design problems at various scales eg community
• human centred research methods
• collaborate

2. designing for systems not for people - data driven design systems eg Netflix

• learning digital skills
• creativity vs digital skills
• data is becoming a fundamental resource eg netflix gives every individual images specific to that viewer and drives engagement - you are teaching this system what you like
• design is not just for humans - ai's can design
• bridging the systems divide

3. the ethics chasm - design that misses the values of social, cultural, economic and environment.

• smart devices - mining your own data to sell back to you
• ethical products with ethical systems
• demanding accountability for design outcomes

4. Identify the preferred future we want - what skills, knowledge are needed - and build curriculum around that.

As a curriculum designer, look to:

• find the centre/core of your program (needs to be flexible) - human centred - (empathic) - don't pretend to know or be them - hire them
• the preferred future (look to the gaps for changes to make)
• identify the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for the future
• design thinking (creative , critical - challenge thinking)
• don't get trapped in the product, the program
• look at design kit - ideo.org
• creating a portfolio - what does this look like (include info about me, my stakeholders - don't know - go look/research)

Meant to be in Bean to Bar but changed twice. Now onto my Third option -

Hayley Barrowcliffe - Northcross Intermediate

Through Biotechnology, discover the chocolate fermentation process and steps to make it!

Hands on workshop and lessons you can use to teach your students to help them learn the steps to create a dark chocolate that can be made (and eaten!) within the session.

We take a virtual trip to mexico to explore how the cocao pods are harvested, sorted and batch fermented. It will explain how the fermentation process occurs by developing a wide range of yeasts, lactic-acid, and acetic-acid (bacteria) during which high temperatures of up to 50°C and microbial products, such as ethanol, lactic acid, and acetic acid, change the beans and cause production of flavour precursors.

Through Key competencies and the learner dispositions, students would collaborate to develop a prototype, test it against specifications, then modify to make it fit for purpose.

We don't write programs for computers.... we write programs for people (eg Megan)

Learn before 12 - digital technologies being introduced now.

Digital Technologies Curriculum NZ

Define algorithm - a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.

Computer bixels - RGB 0-255 (binary defines the number)

Green screem - program to remove

Edge detection - Worksheet - real life eg programming autonomous vehicles, photo id

Binary - qr codes

Coding - chromatic scale on scratch or whole scale (used in movies for dramatic/dreamy effect) - patterns in music - pigeot scale (scary movies) - block coding

Transitioning block coding to programming eg to python.

I teach programming using scratch; not I teach scratch eg I don't teach my kids to Toyota; I teach them to drive using a Toyota :)

Amazing facilities. Creative thinking in program design, timetabling and delivery. The programs are growing and they are adjusting their thinking to cater to the growth including thinking creatively in timetabling issues.

Great instructors. Collaborative team work. Run smoothly. Amazing work, dishes and preparation with great learning for techniques. Including utilising whole chicken with preparation, healthy eating, creative thinking, cooking techniques including sealing flavors when pan frying chicken, using the legs and thighs for a red tie curry. Using the breast for a fajita. Making your own red thai curry, yummy. Great food! Easy enough to do.

0830 - 0930 - “I don’t see why not” Ian Taylor (ARL)

Mr Ian Taylor

Emphasising the entrepreneurial dispositions enabling the creation/development/expansion of Animation Research Limited (ARL) into a world-leading design and solution developer based in an antipodean outlier university city in the south pacific.

Born in Kaeo, Taylor grew up in the East Coast town of Raupunga, where he remembers reading Eagle comics by the light of a gas lantern. The arrival of electricity in the house provided the young boy with a genuine light-bulb moment: "At eight years of age I figured if you could do that by flicking a switch, you could do anything."

This frontman for “Kal-Q-Lated Risk” a 1960s band, Lawyer, Television performer, producer, company manager/owner and staunch Dunedinite defies the conventional.

While the establishment and continued success of ARL in a small city, in a different time zone on a southern antipodean island, runs contrary to trends that cluster of such businesses in places like Silicon Valley, New York, London Beijing, Boston, Tel Aviv, Berlin and other such hotspots of high-end creative development this one excels.

Why is the CEO an engineer, and the Managing Director a lawyer? What is the magic potion? What personal attributes and why has an iwi become a partner in the business?

The possibilities are amazing. INSPIRATIONAL speaker with amazing results. Attitude of I can. High trust. Young developers, straight out of school, no NCEA. It's about design. Not necessarily being the job.

The greatness of the Maori/Polynesian navigation is as great as man going to the moon. Recognising and acknowledging these great feats. CHECK OUT FAFATAI VOYAGE HAPPENING NOW.

Never done a business plan. Looking at what they develop what would they have put in it?

Mission statement - bugger the boxing pour the concrete anyway. Trust your team. If they say they can - trust them. Can we do it? I don't see why not.

Trust your team to spend what they want.

STEM TO STEAM: USING A LIVING SYSTEM AS A TOOL FOR DIFFERENTIATED TEACHING AND LEARNING.

Using an observation beehive located in two school classrooms Massey Researchers are looking at how STEM learning through observation-led teaching can be expressed through the Creative Arts.

This project is a Teaching and Learning Research Initiative project, funded by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research, led by Massey University researchers, Associate Professor Tracy Riley and Professor Anne Noble. TLRI projects are partnerships between teachers and researchers, and in this project we have been working with Avalon and Newlands Intermediate Schools.

Avalon and Newlands Intermediate Schools.

How can art be used in intermediate's as a vehicle for learning?

Apiscope (observation based) - TLRI - collaboration with teachers in schools to foster new learning experiences for students of all ages - ecological art and living systems.

Working across disciplines - how - needed to solve future issues.

Creatives in Schools -

Art can excite. Longing for meaning to what they are learning from the world they live in.

Studying the eyes of bees - Bioengineer - has pioneered automated planes/flights.

Good research questions - does the apiscope students in learning. How can teachers use it?

Newlands Intermediate School - focussed study of differentiation through a childrens' book project - what do we need to make a book? writers, illustratiors, designers, typographers, editors, publishers, production managers, publicists, bee kaitiaki. Experts came in. What do bees do, see and feel? Look at the structure and texture of the hive.

What do I know? What do I want to know?

Making - song writing, album production, poetry book and music video project - Paascalino Shallow

Learning difficulties and how this helped design a program through multidisciplinary learning environment.

Expressing emotions through melodies - using cameras.

Looking at different ways of learning, different ways of expressing self. Giving everyone an oppurtunity to engage eg create a song and make a music video. There is a job for most people. Collaborative learning.

Process starts with what roles do they need. Teacher writes up tasks and students take these.

Took songs to competitions.

Designing as a curriculum for design: keep following the technology strands it still allows for the design process eg what is the problem? solutions? restrictions?
