How to Give Feedback and Recognition

By
The KS workshop titled "How to Give Feedback and Recognition” covered three main areas: Keys to Effective Feedback, Constructive Do’s and Don’ts and How to Recognize Staff Using Powerful Praise. Below are some key points:

Keys to Effective Feedback
  • Seek First to Understand

    • What happened?

    • Listen for understanding, not to respond

    • Rephrase back to confirm understanding

  • Then to be Understood

    • When You, I Feel, Because Formula:

      • When you …describe the Specific, Example or Event

      • I Feel … set the emotional hook.

      • Because…larger impact on you or others

  • Constructive Feedback

    • Only after both sides feel understood discuss, Next time

    • Next time is not about fixing blame it’s about fixing the problem

    • Agree on what we will do next time to get the desired result.

  • Characteristics of Effective Feedback

    • Frequent

    • Actionable

    • Specific

    • Two-way

Constructive Do’s and Don’ts

  • Do’s

    • Courageous conversations

    • Clean as you go

    • Remember the Magic Ratio: 3 Postivie:1 Negative

  • Don’ts

    • What we permit we promote

    • Don’t use email to deliver bad news

    • Never wait for a perfect time, there is none

How to Recognize Staff Using Powerful Praise

  • H.I.S Acronym

    • Heartfelt - People may not remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel

    • Immediate - Never wait for perfection. If you want improvement, reward movement.

    • Specific - Nothing becomes dynamic until it becomes specific.

Geotagging

By
A "wouldn't it be nice" idea that's been around a while is the ability to tag a map with images that are linked to more information about the site. Kelly C suggested it as a way for students to share knowledge about a cultural/historic site or the geographic area they live in with classmates. (right, no addresses!) There are now cameras and even storage media that embed latitude and longitude into images as they are shot. But you don't need fancy new toys to do this. I tried Flickr's geotagging map and it's fun and supereasy. Want to try it? Log in to Flickr http://www.flickr.com Sign in as " techedine " password " wist101 " yea, corny. Click the " You " tab then the " Your Photostream > Map " or Organize > Your Map links. Click the Satellite link in the upper right. Cool view! (you may need Google Satellite downloaded). Images along the bottom of the screen with colored dots have already been droppe...

Scratch - OWAU discussion 10/28

By Anonymous
Aloha kākou, I while back, I learned about this product from a presentation at the eSchool conference. The speaker was so excited about Scratch and was having so much fun demonstrating it that my mind began racing immediately. "I could use it in `Ike Hawai`i courses and I bet I could use it to develop tons of activities for the A`o Makua `ōlelo Hawai`i courses". Then, reality set in as I returned to work intending to try it out after I finished my "next" task. Well, you know how that goes. 7 months later, I finally took a stab at it out of necessity of course. I really wanted some type of activity to teach my students about different Kapu in old Hawai`i without having them just read a list of them. So, what it Sratch? Simply put, it's a developer's tool (a very inexpereinced developer like myself). It allows you to create activities and games using "coding" that is in a drag and drop format. The codes are pre-written & range from phrases like ...

Zoho Creator

By
I thought I’d share this web application I came across in my quest to find a relatively simple app to help us manage our mentoring data in the DL Orientation. Our specific needs were that it be a free online database, password protected, had the capability of rapid form development without too much programming knowledge and was easy for the end user to use. The application that met these requirements was Zoho Creator ( http://www.zohocreator.com/ ) a part of a suite of online applications including word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, wikis, organizers and more. What’s great about Zoho Creator is that they have an online repository of applications already developed that you can download to your account and use for free. Initially, I tried some of these applications, but it was overkill for our needs. Zoho Creator can do a lot if you know programming and they have a pay model where it allows you more flexibility and features. I think Zoho Creator would be a useful tool for both...
