Week 7
This week was very disheartening. I was hugely challenged by the learning, but the positive that I can now see a week later, is that I have a barrier towards technology. I see it in class when I am approached by students when there is a tech issue. I see it when I don't know how to fix the issue arisen.
I know that part of this is due to wanting the learning to happen for the student, in a smooth functional way. It is due to not knowing what I don't know yet.
This barrier will be something that I will try to work on now. I am not sure how this will look at this stage. I do know that I have great support at school with the facilitator that comes in, and feel that he is approachable and able to empower me to feel confident about working through this barrier.
Kia ora Trish,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to read your blogpost and view your thoughts and reflections of how tools and technology really do make us all view our roles as a teacher and a learner differently. I am sorry I could not be part of the DFI this week and support you with your learning. Keep up the great learning as I can see some amazing things happening in your classroom that are benefiting your learners.
Thanks Latham. I really didnt realise how much I would get out of this course to benefit myself as a teacher and my wonderfully capable, brillliant students. The course has pushed me out of my comfort zone several times, and extended my capapbilites in ways that I dont think I would have experienced had I not had been on this course. Thank you for always supporting and encouraging me.
