Blog #4 (current to open ocean)

 Share your beliefs about teaching and learning.  

  1. How do you see technology accelerating learning?  From the way I see technology really makes learning fun, faster, and easier. I know that students learn by looking at real examples in real life, by looking at pictures or movies on YouTube. I know this because when my students and I learned about chicken breeds, they matched the breeds by looking at the real sample pictures. I also believe that kinesthetic learning deepens learning.


  2. What opportunities do you see to change how we learn in schools? The opportunities I see are that technology can change how we learn in school by looking at real-life situations on YouTube, Facebook, and other related sites on the Internet. This really makes instruction and learning fun and interesting.


  3. What challenges do you see or experience? The challenge that we have at our school is that if we want to use the Internet, we have to go and reserve it at the library because there are not enough laptops. Sometimes there is no cash power, so we cannot use the library, so the challenge that we have is not having enough resources, or the resources are not available most of the time.



  1. What connections can you make between your own learning experiences and the resources you read and watched? The connection is that some of the methods I am using are the same as what they were talking about in the movie or the reading. Some of the ideas that they mention in the movie and writing I can apply to my class.

My Floating Journey

       About the author My name is Adarino Hadley, and I am a Pohnpeian by birth. I was born on a little Island of Pohnpei called Dolehtik and was raised in Diadi, a little village in Kitti known for “Siokara,” a family of clams marinated and preserved in bottles for eating. I have four brothers and four sisters, and I was the second eldest among my siblings. I am married and blessed with three children one girl and two boys. My wife's name is Mihna Celestine Hadley; my daughter is Vyra Hadley; my two sons are Adarino Junior Hadley and Jordan AV Hadley.  I attended Elementary School at Wenik/Rohnkitti Elementary School, now called Nanbei Memorial Elementary School, and graduated in May 1994. I decided to go to Xavier High School, but my family didn't allow me to, so I attended Pohnpei Island Central High School (PICS). I graduated and received my diploma in May of 1998. Again, I wanted to go to Hilo and attend College there, but no one could help me with my appl...

Blog #5 (current flowing close to land)

Here are the two videos https://youtu.be/MBYlRmUurJ8 I learned how to make students come to school by following the CRSSP (Choice, Relevance, Strength, Specific, and Passion). If you follow the CRSSP, it will make students motivated and willing to learn. Watching the movie gives me an idea of how to make my students come to school every day and be willing to learn. If a teacher follows the CRSSP with the passion to make students succeed, then it will make learning fun and enjoyable   https://youtu.be/UCFg9bcW7Bk For this movie, it is almost the same as the first, but they have different ideas. This has to do with the 6 C's (Choice, Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking, Creativity, and Caring). If you follow the 6 C's, it will make your classroom a wonderful and successful classroom, and students will be willing and motivated to learn. By watching this video, I think that I can apply some of his methods of teaching in my class. And his ideas are really great for a cla...

Blog #6 (Floating around near the Land)

   What are some things you can do in your classroom to foster creativity and innovation?      Some of the things that I can do in my classroom are doing Social Emotional Learning (SEL), integrating technology, and using technological tools like Google Forms. For the SEL, I know that it really helps my students to be creative in answering questions, and it makes them really focus on the lesson we are doing. For integrating technology, I can see that students are more into technology and love to use technology in doing their work. They become creative and innovative when a task is given to them to complete or find using technology. For Google Forms, I know if they learn to use it, they will create work that will be better than what I created.   What Facebook group OR YouTube channel did you join?      I haven't joined any Facebook or YouTube channels, but I love watching channels that have to do with teaching, so I can apply their method and...
