We were asked to think about - What does "learn look like at my school"

Digital Technology  - It's not just a tool. It transform the way we learn. 

What Did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? 

Digital Technology can make my professional life easier. I am grateful that I am getting the new learning and the time to acquire the knowledge to become successful with the Digital tools and transform the way we learn. 

Using Hapara with the staff and students will enhance the way our learners will get quick feedback.

Creating a meeting with Google meet was very important to building my confidence and my work flow. 

Google Keep is a very useful tool for making list and keeping notes. It also links to my google calendar and can keep reminders.  

The ideas that were taught for Gmail and calendar will with continue to build by capabilities as leader and a professional. 

What did I learn that could be used with my learners

 We are focusing on our staff being empowered with Digital Tools.  We have amplified our journey with joining the Virtual Cluster with Manaia Kalani. 

We are investigating the benefits of Hapara.  

We are looking forward to the day our community comes aboard with the 1-1 devices. 

We look forward to the day when our students will benefit by using 1-1 devices at school and home. 

We are fortunate that we have staff who are using some digital tools that are empowering  our  students. 

What Did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability in my personal Life ? 

I am fortunate that I realised in my early years in education that Digital learning is important  to not only my professional but to my personal life as well. 

From Today's meeting I have realised that the tools I learnt will be very useful in my personal life. 

I am so grateful to Maria and Kerry, who are my mentors. Both of you are awesome. 

Today I would like to thank Campbell who supported be through the blog exercise. You are marvellous and patient. Thank you so much.
