DFI Reflection. (In place of Lost DFI #4)

DFI      Reflection (In place of Lost DFI #4)

As I lost my DFI#4 Blog, I thought that I would try to remember parts of it.

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

Once again I found Dorothy's "Words of Wisdom" very inspiring. It is easy for me to assimilate into my thinking because I feel I hold the same beliefs and values. Love the "asides."

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

I found parts of today very hard to get my head around. I found multi-modal Learning Sites and Multi Text Data Bases quite new concepts for me. I felt that I couldn't really contribute because I hadn't had any experience with either of them. [Something else that I need to delve deeper into.] I felt a bit inadequate. I enjoyed thinking about my "Site", and had good ideas of what I wanted to put into my site.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

I am getting more confident with Blogging. Now, instead of just helping my students with the content of their Blog, [i.e. the writing], I can now help them insert images/ pictures/photos and POST it.I also don't need the teacher to open up the student's Blog for 'us.' I can help the student open up their own Blog- i.e. I know where and how to find it.

More confident around devices... They will become essential, everyday tools that will make my life easier

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

As above... getting better at Blogging. More confident around devices... They will become essential, everyday tools that will make my life easier.

DFI #2 More Awesome Learning

DFI #2.  What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Awesome thinking is going in behind this Professional Learning Journey that you are taking me on. I like the analogies too.. It sits well with my thinking

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Today I felt a lot more comfortable. I still have a lot of new Learning to do, but at least I am getting faster around the screen and keyboard. Have just changed Font, 'cause I didn't like what it had.
Have to remember about the + button (top right) and the dots (right also).
Am learning about Hanging Out. (digitally)


What did I learn that could be used with my learners? 
It was more about personal Learning today.  When I become more confident and navigate my way around things better, I will work out how I can work it into my teaching.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Got my blog linked to share. May receive a few comments now  Getting there. Just found the Closing Karakia. Didn't quite manage to get there last week.
