Reflection
Today was another great day spent learning online. It is always a pleasure to connect with other colleagues and to learn something new. I have come to better understand the concept of the Connect kaupapa and have realised how important this is in operating as a MK school. Without connection the rest of it just simply would not work. I enjoyed getting the time to work on my class site and to also look at others. Being a first year Manaiakalani teacher I found it very beneficial to look at the sites of others who have been teaching in this cohort for a few years and see what they did differently. Every week I am growing more confident and polishing my skills using digital technologies. I love how after every session there is something that I can take away and use with my students. By taking this course I have been able to feel confident with moving into online learning while on lock down. I am looking forward to next week and all the learning that will come with it.
Connecting with Manaiakalani
We are all connected through our common language throughout the Manaiakalani outreach program. Because we are visible we are able to connect. MK is able to support learning by intentionally supplying an audience for our learners to share and connect.
Deep Dive: Maria- Class Sites
I enjoyed getting the time to look at other classes sites. It was good to go through these together and critique the positives and negatives. This gave me the opportunity to think of my own site and some changes that I may need to make to ensure my site is easy to navigate.

Purpose of a Learning Site
A learning site is a one stop shop where learning is accessible anywhere, any time and any place. Learning is rewindable, visible planning and teaching.
Explore- Class Sites
We had the opportunity to share our own sites with members of our regional cluster and give feedback. It's really good to see what others are doing and also what others have to say about my own site. This is going to help me in ensuring that my site is easily accessible and user friendly. Feedback that I received was very positive. I have been able to take on suggestions and make a few changes to my site making it more user friendly.
