Session 5 DFI Course

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

Today the focus on websites was all about rewindable and visible learning. It was about supporting the learner to know what was in the teacher's head using a websites- so is so clear and visible.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

As a lead teacher with KET I thought that I could create a website for our staff to show visible learning re Digital Technologies. I saw an example today from Tautoro School Principal- which was really confirming of my idea.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

I wanted to create a website for our staff where as Lead Teacher for KET and also as TIC of PLD at the school this website would be a one stop shop for all these areas of PLD related to Digital Technologies. It is appropriate timing at the moment, as we have been with Manaiakalani /KET for nearly three years so there is a lot of information that needs organising for staff. Also next year we will have 4 year levels of students at the College using CBs as well as that the new Digital Technologies curriculum comes into force in 2020.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

I believe it will make my role easier in terms of communicating with our staff. Especially seeing the website created for Tautoro School- it certainly helped their staff. That's what I want to do here.
