Presentation 2: Videos Can Help Create More Exposure of Your Kindergarten’s Facebook Page

Many of us have learnt to upload photographs to show tamariki learning that has happened throughout the day. However, have you tried promoting your kindergarten with videos? Video footage of tamariki learning through play often gets more views than our photos do. Join our short talk on ways you can use video clips to show learning that happens at your kindergarten.

been implementing various visual resources, we have created individual visual laminated resources. In this workshop/presentation we will be providing specific examples of the effectiveness using visual resources have been. We will discuss the purposeful use of individualise open stories supporting speech and language development.We will also share a story of a child who was very resistant to wear his hearing aid/device. With the powerfulness of his superhero, and intentional use of visual representations he was proud to wear his hearing aids ad his peers perceived he had super hearing powers!Nuanua teaching team have been using visual lanyards to empower all children to communicate with the aid of visual pictures. The lanyards are effective in supporting children to understand routines/boundaries/expectations and opportunities to share their emotions through visual representation.
