What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani, kaupapa and pedagogy?
There are so many ways out there to connect using technology! Especially valuable and needed during our current situation in own country with our lockdown. Sharing has indeed become the new way of connecting.
The following are little gems I have come away with from Dorothy's slide this morning;
If it's worth teaching it's worth capturing.
If it's worth learning it's worth capturing.
Having students exposed to technology learning even if it's in bite sized pieces to start off with.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Really enjoyed being involved in my first large google hangout and navigating all the areas to connect into, disconnect and reconnect! Amazing. Found today quite challenging being on line when the time came to need help! and a particularly challenging topic for today. However I did find that further practice in using google sheets could then be put to use as a data tool for recording my students learning.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
Unfortunately most of today's work was more aimed at the senior to intermediate end of a school not for a junior area. However I could see if my facilitator could do a mini lesson on getting the children to make a couple of markings on a familiar map as part of google maps.
Hello Julia,
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that even if the learning is challenging that you keep working on it. Perseverance wins the day!
I agree that using mymaps with your learners would be a great idea. Here are some ideas to get the imagination sparking.
All the best,
Maria
Kia ora Julia,
ReplyDeletegood on you for hanging in there all day. I realise how challenging DFI is and then we go online all day to do it! These are pretty big bytes of learning together. Just think of how much you have learned already - it is fantastic.
Don't forget that this learning is rewindable. You have a few more tools in your kete and if you want to use them in the future we can work together to make it happen. I am available anytime to help.
Hang in there - you are doing just fine!
Looking forward to working with you again next week.
Mā te wā

Hi Julia
ReplyDeleteWow lots of learning. Fantastic.
I really love the wee moto you have recorded If it's worth teaching it's worth capturing.
If it's worth learning it's worth capturing.
I really agree that it is important to expose the children to the new learning also. I have really enjoyed the DFI course being exposed to so much knowledge.
Thanks for sharing
