Personal Identity iExperience

Learner: Nisita Sharma                                                   Date: October 2015

Learning Area: iExperience - Identity                             Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed

A good afternoon of learning in which we discussed what identity is and what it means to each of us. I became involved in a conversation with Nisita and Neeha around our names, their meaning and whether our names impact on our identity. Nisita talked about the meaning behind her name and it’s cultural significance. We also discussed elements of our identity that we are born with vs those that are learned as we grow. Nisita demonstrated maturity and confidence when sharing her thoughts and opinions. Well Done!

Evidence of learning Neha and Nisita spoke with confidence about personal identity and what it means to them. What a great way to start the term. You can be very happy with yourselves. Well done.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles being demonstrated

Thinking - Making sense of information, experiences and ideas. Using language, symbols, and texts - Making sense of words, numbers and images. Managing self - knowing when to lead, when to follow and when to act independently. Relating to others - Interacting effectively in a range of contexts. Participating and contributing - Being actively involved in school and the community Curious Collaborative Connected Capable

Next Learning Steps

I would encourage Nisita to look more at the meaning of her name, its origin and the names of others. It would be interesting to see if there are any observable links between identity traits and names, and whether people become stereotypes of their names or whether it has nothing to do with it. Let’s see what results in the coming lessons!

Nisita, Alex and Vrishti's 3D Printing Learning Story

Learners: Vrishti, Alex & Nisita    Learning Coach: T.Dillner            Date: 21.9.15

Learning Area: Technology - 3D Printing

Learning Observed

Vrishti, Alex and Nisita chose to participate in 3D Printing during iExperience during Week 7-10 this term. We initially learnt about the Thinker’s Key called ‘BAR’. BAR stands for Bigger, Add, Replace. To practise, the learners had to pick either a pen, lunch box or tennis racquet to make a feature bigger, add to the item and replace something. The learners had as much creative license as they needed and then they reflected on how functional the item had become - could it still be used for its original purpose? The next stage was to come up with an item that we use at school and repeat the BAR process. Vrishti, Alex and Nisita decided to make a new version of a pencil case. Vrishti, Alex and Nisita had to use the website TinkerCad to design their new and improved pencil case. They had to use the pre-existing shapes to form their 3D model which was then printed out by our LH1 3D printer. After analysing their printed model, the girls were able to write a description about who would use it, why they designed it and what its features were. They also spent some time reflecting on improvements and redesigning it on TinkerCad to show these changes.

Evidence of learning

Vrishti, Alex and Nisita’s explanation of their 3D pencil case.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Vrishti, Alex and Nisita were collaborative during this process by sharing ideas and coming up with other ways to show creativity (Thinking, Participating & Contributing). They demonstrated curiosity by engaging with the entire technology process of designing, making, redesigning and evaluating. Vrishti, Alex and Nisita were connected as they were able to show their learning in three different mediums (paper, digital and printed model).

Next Learning Steps

Complete the second design on TinkerCad and print if time allows. Use the 3D printer as a component of an iExplore. Teach another learner how to use TinkerCad.

Summer acrossic poem

Summer
Umbrella helps get shade
Making icebocks
Making ice cream
Every day is fun 
Revisiting beaches



What is summer?

Summer is a warm season just after spring finishes.Summer starts from December to February.

I like summer because it is really warm in summer. I did umbrella for shade because it helps keep cold. Making ice blocks and ice cream is my favourite thing to do in summers mostly. Summer is fun because I get to play on my in the garden. Revisiting the beaches is fun because we can swim in the water.
