Kia ora koutou,
Today was the first session of the Digital Fluency Intensive for Cohort One.
We started off our day by discussing the origins of Manaiakalani and reminding ourselves about the importance of
our underlying pedagogy 'Learn, Create, Share'. I now have a deeper understanding of how Manaiakalani came to
be and the journey from it's inception in 2007. Manaiakalani means 'A hook from heaven', I found it particularly
interesting to learn that Manaiakalani was the name of a constellation that could be seen from the skys above
New Zealand. Read more about the Manaiakalani story here.
Today I learnt several new tips and tricks around how I can better manage my google drive.
The 'chrome and drive' session was particularly useful and already I have been able to implement some of the things
that I have learnt. New learnings include:
There were a number of things that I plan to use in the classroom with my students. These include addons/extensions
such as Kaizena, Draftback and Easy Accents. I also plan to make better use of voice typing with my students. I also
plan on doing some explicit teaching around organising our google drives. I would benefit from spending some time
looking at how my google drive is organised and make a few changes to improve my workflow.
Look forward to receiving some feedback. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post.
Ngā mihi,
Katie.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are able to attend this course and that you are getting so much out of it already. I enjoy listening to the Manaiakalani story, every time I get something new out of it.
Looking forward to seeing how this changes in your new role!
