Today I was unsure of what to expect with this course, other than it would be full with information and learning. It was interesting to hear about the Manaiakalani program and how it started. In its early stages of my daughter's education I was sceptical of the purpose and vision of technology in the classroom. However as a Primary teacher now, I have developed a strong interest in, and eagerness for the practical implementation of such technology in the classroom.
Today I was surprised at all the hidden (only from me) tools in Goggle docs that could improve and enhance students learning. I am keen to explore these tools further and look at the use of the voice tool with my Year ones alongside their reading and writing oppotunties.
Today's course was very practical and I found that having time in smaller groups and opportunties to test out the learning foci at each stage, was good for my learning.

Kia ora Trish,
ReplyDeleteIt was great connecting with you yesterday! Thanks for sharing your reflection from the first DFI session. I'm pleased that you have found some beneficial learning from the session. Your DLO is looking great! I am very much looking forward to learning alongside you in this DFI Cohort.

Hi Trish
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to read how much you got out of the DFI. Your Google Doc poster looks very neat and informative. There are so many tools to use with the Google suite, so be prepared for more new tips in the coming weeks.
