Wek 7 Reflections

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

Ubiquitous- 

I have learned about Ubiquitous learning today. Thank you Dorothy for giving us insight into how important is home communication, at the pre-schooling age itself, in learners' achievement at school. It was quite an Awwing moment for me to know that how many words are spoken to the pre-schoolers. It's Amazing. Summer learning journey – planning something like that for my own learners would be so beneficial to their learning and when they come back to school after holidays, they are right on track and ready to learn from Day 1. I also got motivated about learning and inquire about creating the Rewindable learning and making it accessible to my learners in a near future.

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

 My Biggest learning for today was,

Recording some of my lessons and keeping them available for the learners is definitely on my priority list in the next couple of weeks.

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

I will show my learners how to Screencastify. I will share one of my creations and talk about how is it similar or different from the iMovies they are making.

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

I can definitely see learning about

• screencastify
• explaineverything
• hapara workspace

will enable me to create Rewindable learning for my learners. Thank you DFI team.

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

It is always encouraging to listen to Dorothy's presentations and learn about the Kaupapa and the pedagogy and get inspired. Today's focus was - Share. I learned how important it is to share the finished work. sharing is the beginning of new learning. It was interesting to know that how our learners struggle if we do not teach them the importance of completing the given task and sharing it, from the earlier years of their learning. Teaching those small steps enable them to achieve their goals successfully.

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

As a teacher, I always plan for the work to be published but it is for me to look into if it is always getting done? Learning about how safe and efficient is the 'Blogger' cleared lots of my doubts about giving access to my learners as we are in the process of creating individual blogs for each of my students. :)

What did I learn that could be used with my learners, how could they use it?

I would definitely use the sheets with my students to create their own graphs. Also Google My Maps - Wow! what a great and interactive tool is that. I couldn't stop adding things to it even after the session was over. I can't wait to share this with my students and get them to have a go at it.

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

I think completing and sharing to the right audience increases confidence not only in professional life but also in personal life too. there are many jobs that take a lot of effort to complete. I think I will grow personally also if I consistently think and implement the Kaupapa of Manaiakalani. Also today's session made me think that I should continue sharing my professional learning in the blog even after this amazing 9 weeks of learning.

Here is the graph that I have created using one of the student's Blog Posts' Data
