Focus Curriculum Area for Mock-up and CoL Proposal Curriculum Area: Geometry - Shape High School level for Ceylan = L5 Primary School level for me = L3 Achievement Objectives: 1. Classify plane shapes and prisms by their spatial features.  2. Represent objects with drawings and models.  Learning Intentions to used are taken from eTap Spotlight which is used within the class and reporting to parents. As we are only doing Geometry: Shape, only the learning intentions that relate to this area will be used in the lessons. Images from eTap Spotlight are below of the Geometry Learning Intentions. The Learning Intentions span over three (3) year levels due to how the New Zealand Curriculum covers a couple of year levels per curriculum level. Year 5 LIs Year 6 LIs Year 7 LIs

September was another busy month with collaboration among peers. One of my favourite collaborations is with the Project Group and just hearing how they are all going. It's a relief to hear that we are all feeling the same things but in different context and stages of our projects. The project group collaborates in a couple of ways: Slack and Zoom. Our Zoom meetings are videoed for future reference and minutes are also taken. For my study partner and I, we are lucky that we live in the same town as we are able to meet up and have our own face to face meetings. We do schedule these in Trello, record notes in Trello, but communicate on a daily basis or as required via Slack.

21 October 2019: Cory has begun the construction of the website. The home page is complete, we have purchased the domain. Now time to start putting resources into it. A couple of things we need to look at are: - the Maori name for the Hub - confirmation is required of the correct term being used. - copyright of the images used. - the picture of the storehouse is being worked on by a graphic design person to cut it from the photo and make it stand alone without a backdrop, therefore making it our property. - continuing to clean up the interface and back pages where the resources are stored. https://www.thehubnz.online/ 14 October 2019: To date, I have looked at using WordPress but have run into issues with formatting as the free designs aren't giving formats of what is liked. https://wordpress.com/home/thehub156307652.wordpress.com?d=theme . I am also finding this very time consuming to develop and get sorted. I think I am in need of getting an expert in for support al
