REVISION- DFI Week 9

THE FINAL DAY! 


Ubiquitous Learning - Dorothy Connecting with Manaiakalani

Any time, anywhere, any pace, from anyone. 
Ubiquitous learning will allow for equity for all students in their education. Creating Rewindable Learning allows students to access their learning at any time. The Summer Learning Journey is a great way to keep students engage in their learning over the summer break and avoid summer slippage. It is important as the teacher to encourage students to do this and let them know it is available. It allows you to celebrate students learning when not in the classroom. "If it is worth teaching, it is worth capturing; if it is worth learning it is worth capturing." 


Today I sat the Google Level 1 Certified Educator Exam, I found the exam to be quite clear and easy, that is all due to the learning I have taken part in during the DFI course. I was very lucky to have had experience in google classroom at my previous school (this was the only part we had not covered in the DFI) so wasn't too stumped by these questions. The exam was easy to follow and really tested my knowledge. 

Throughout the Digital Fluency Intensive Course I have learned so much, not just in using the google tools but more in understanding the WHY of Manaiakalani. I have learned the importance of being visible and the positive impact this can have on students learning and also on whanau and community involvement. 
This course has been so beneficial to the functionality and efficieny of my teaching and learning programme and has had such a positive impact on my students learning. I am now able to confidently create sites and embed activities and multimodal resources to turbo charge their learning experiences. 
As the guinea pigs for the new online way of taking part in this course I believe we have done really well. I am really proud of all the teachers who have taken part in this course, we have been risk takers and have become empowered in our own practice. Well done team! 
A massive thankyou to all of the facilitators and to Dorothy for allowing this course to happen, it has been so enjoyable.
