Today was a great start to the DFI course at Ohaewai Primary School. I found out that we're all at different levels of learning but have the common goal of wanting to upskill. There's lots of little tricks that are really helpful to teach the kids. Donna Yates has been our Manaiakalani leader in our school and she has done a fantastic job at teaching alot of these things to our children, therefore I have been lucky to pick up a few things along the way. I'm really looking forward to see what else is on offer for us and being able to bring it back to the classroom. We had to create something today and insert an image using "remove bg" it was definitely a bit of fun. This is my attempt, enjoy.
Kia ora Tina. I enjoyed the DFI too. There is alot to learn but it is good we can help each other. I like your creation.
ReplyDeleteKia ora and thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed your first day, it certainly flies by.
DeleteHi Tina
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the first day on our DFI course and that what you learned was relevant for you. You'll find there are lots of things that you can apply straight away with your students so I hope you share those with us over the coming weeks.
What were the key takeaways for you about the Manaiakalanai kaupapa? I think it helps to have the background of how it all began, all those years ago and why we make our recommendations :)
Remind me on Wednesday to help you with changing the theme of your blog, you'll want to have the latest widgets so your blog looks and functions really well.

Hi Tina
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to working with you on this DFI journey. Each DFI cohort seem to have a unique range of expertise and experiences to offer when it comes to teaching and learning with digital devices. Like our students there is so much we can learn from each other.
I wonder what you trialed when you got back to class and how it went?
Blog you later
