DFI - Cohort 3- Workflow - DAY 2 - 11/11/19

This is Day 2 of our DFI course. Learned a lot of new things.

Time to reflect and share with colleagues


What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? I learned that with the Manaiakalani we have moved from the analogue world to the digital world. Teachers are shown the skills and knowledge for accelerated learning to benefit our students.


What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? Using the workspace for my student's documents instead of sharing it from my drive. This way I know that every student in my class has received it and the google doc. is in their folder.


What did I learn that could be used with my learners? Hangouts is my new friend to try out with a small group of students. This is another way to learn, create and share their learning.


What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? Definitely using the calendar and using the reminder alarm so I don't forget things.

DFI - Cohort 3 - Core Business - Day 1 -8/11/19

The day has finally arrived for the DFI course. I have mixed feelings about it because of previous courses I have done which left me reeling and with a massive headache.

So we all arrived and it is a small group of us, which is awesome.

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? I enjoyed listening to how Manaiakalani began and how it has grown over the years. The main purpose was to motivate and empower the student's learning. It has helped through the use of Chromebooks to attain the goals they have set. Increasing student achievement and being digitally confident learners.
• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? More confident with picking up some of the digital jargon used and actioning given instructions.
• What did I learn that could be used with my learners? Blogging and creating a document, embedding pictures and changing the borders. 
• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? Take small steps, one step at a time.

NOVEMBER 6TH 2019

I thought I would take a photo of my class working on their Math. But because I didn't want to disturb their work I had to take 3 pictures to try and capture them all in it. It didn't work because they were so spread out.

A Day on Blogger

Hi Whanau we are learning to post a blog and then label it so it can be found.

On the 15/08/16 we had a Blogging session, run by Mike Perry. This was for those who wanted some extra P.D.  I have added a pic of  Melody (MHR) and myself (DHT).

Today we had a session with Mike Perry about Blogging with year 7&8 staff and others.
