DFI - Session 4 of the second group of teachers from the Tairawhiti Cluster.
Some reflections to share:
Teachers in this group showing they are "brave knights and are heroically courageous" in the digital world:
Gisborne Boys High x's 3
St Mary's Catholic School's x's 4 (including the Principal)
Cobham School
Awapuni School x's 2
Riverdale School x's 1
Tutors: Maria Krause & Cheryl Torrie
Great group of educators with capable tutors makes the day most worthwhile.
- What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? Even though I participated in the first round of DFI I have picked up many more trick and been even more informed about the Manaiakalani programme. We covered Cybersmart, Chromebooks and Ipad, revisited Hangouts and Screencastify. All very good stuff. Felt more confident this time. Cybersmart resources were awesome. Would love to be a classroom teacher again.
- What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? I still need to fully utilise the opportunities screencastify affords. Will reflect on this. For example I could use it to good effect on my professional new sites.
- What did I learn that could be used with my learners? If my learners are the Principals then I could improve my Google Site to be a source of information and a place for interaction.
- What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? Since being forced onto a vegan diet to reverse the onset of heart disease I would like to create a site with appropriate recipes and a run down on the effectiveness of diet on heart health and sharing of cardiac research.
Kia ora David,
ReplyDeleteso great to have you in on the session today. Every session seems to be jam-packed with Google Goodies that there seems very little time to come up for air.
What a great idea creating a site with your vegan recipes. It could become a resource for others and spread the good word and help those with especially who are vegans for health reasons. Sometimes sifting through the internet for a recipe is just too hard so they give up. Looking forward to your idea growing.
Mā te wā
Cheryl
