Yey!!!!!! I got My Badge - Thank you DFI

 

DFI Summary

DFI -Digital Fluency Intense Course. 

It was an amazing journey. I have discovered myself through this journey in terms of my professional career. Each week was a Treasure box. So I have actually bookmarked all the DFI weekly agendas so I can always go back to refer back. 

Manaiakalani Opportunities are always something to look forward to in the future to share our knowledge and experiences and also grow.

Finally the TEST - I recommend all the educators to have a go at it if they haven't done the test yet. No doubt it is very intense, but we can feel how the learners feel during the exams. To add on, it is an opportunity to check our understanding and also to figure out my where to next steps.

Great thank you to all the DFI team_ amazing facilitators and always with a big smile and ready to guide us.

Looking forward to meeting some of them at my school.

Nga Mihi!

My Reflections - Week 8

In today's session, I've learnt about how the word 'Agency' was replaced by "Empowered' and all reasons behind it. Having a robust framework create opportunities for the learners to become lifelong learners. It also enables them to actually dream outside their zone, set their goals and make their own pathways to achieve them.

My Week 7 Creation

I created a video using Screencastify. This is my very first video Using this app.  I realize there is a lot to do to make this a perfect video but I gave it a good try.

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.
