DFI 9 External Recognition

 DFI 9 External Recognition 

Time For Reflection 

The DFI  programme is a very effective way of learning. 

Every week I learn't the pedagogy of the Manaiakalini way.  The values Learn, Create,Share is part of my every day language at school and elsewhere in my life. 

What I enjoyed the most ..... was there were many ....especially connecting with other teachers and leaders.

I came into this programme at the beginning stages and now I feel confident that I can share my learning to the rest of the staff. 

The programme supported me to acquire fluency using the basic tools required for effective teaching, planning, assessment and professional learning. It  supported to understand how digital technologies used effectively can have a significant impact on accelerating achievement outcomes. 

The programme supported me to understand how the Manaiakalini pedagogy and Kaupapa has been co constructed over more than a decade to maximise the impact of effective teaching and learning in a digital learning environment. 

My bubble group lead by Kerry our mentor was so kind and thoughtful and full of knowledge.

To the DFI team- Thank you for excellent presentations every week. I am grateful to you all for your support. I am enthused to learn more.

DFI 8 Computational Thinking Learners and Teachers

 "The Manaiakalini Kaupapa of empowerment is advancing of Rangatiratunga and taking back control of their own lives. " Pat Sneeden Chair MET 

Every child in NZ deserves to have connectivity in their lives. 

EMPOWERED - Its just not a tool. 

EMPOWERMENT - "When it transforms the way we learn.  It offers us uncharted experiences and opportunities" 

Dean Shaneski (2011) 

Children will switch off learning if the learning teachers give is not powerful or worthy of them. 

We as educators need to be creative with our teaching as there is so many more avenues for students to follow. 

We need to "hook" students into learning. 

A point to note is that some of our learners come from families who are on the minimum  earning wage. 

Lack of money disempowers people especially when it comes to choices. 

Some children in the lower socio economic areas arrive at school with 32 million less words in English. 

A point to note is by empowering children to learn with all the educational google tools you will build the oral language in the child. 

Future for Technology 

What it means for our students 

 

Here is a very interesting clip of where technology is taking us. 

Are we as educators keeping up? 

Moral and Ethics in Technology 

There are so many positives in Technology,  as Educators we need to ponder of the Morals and Ethics 

Digital Technologies Curriculum

to their learning 

A Digital Fluent teacher is able to learn and teach side by side with their digital fluent students.

Removing Barriers     Learning can take place  24/7 . 

The child has the time to learn whenever they choose. 

In 2020 Ubiquitous learning became distance learning for schools in nz 

AT Otahuhu Primary School I'm proud of our staff, who got involved with distance learning with zoom and sea-saw. 

Since then we joined Manaikalini Virtual cluster. This is going to be of benefit to all our learners whereby all barriers ti learning will be removed. 

If its worth teaching,it's worth capturing. - Rewindable Learning. 

What needs to happen - All teachers need to become digitally fluent.
