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.
Congratulations Danni on passing the exam!
ReplyDeleteIt's been wonderful getting to know you over the course of the nine weeks and having you as part of our Covid19 cohort 😊
Don't forget to add your Google Level 1 Badge to your site too and maybe share your post in our Te Hiku Google Plus community. Keep an eye out for the Manaiakalani Innovators application in term 3, it would be a good next step for you.
Nga mihi 😊
Kia Ora Kerry,
DeleteThank you for all of your guidance over the past 9 weeks, it has been fun!
Badge is all added, and definitely keen to look more into the innovators applications.
Nga mihi nui,
Danni
Ka pai Danielle. I'm also very proud of our group for getting through the course in the ever changing circumstances. What a great piece of timing that we could all improve our fluency with Google Sites just in time for distance learning! What are you most looking forward to implementing back at school?
ReplyDeleteKia Ora Phil,
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely great timing!
I'm thinking of how we can transition back into school without loosing how engaged students have been through their online learning. It will be interesting to see moving forward.
All the best for the move back to reality!
