DFI course.
Day One
Ohaewai
Digital Fluency Intensive (DFI) course on Wednesday last week.
Heard how Manaiakalani came into existence and how it has been put to use throughout many schools in NZ.
Course certainly lived up to its name, was intensive alright, but then it was the first day and no matter what you do, in the beginning there is invariably always lots of new information to process. Usually a matter of learning and becoming familiar with the basics, then hopefullythe rest will follow.
Been doing a bit of recapping today and even though its early days I am starting to see that this is definitely a reflection of what is happening in the classroom and how students are learning, engaging with each other, school, the community and finding out about the world. What a fantastic creative way for people to produce amazing slides and blogs to express themselves, put forth ideas and I can see how it can increase student literacy.
Looking forward to the learning and completing this course.
can see how useful learning how to use all the tools would be be to Teachers , students and staff at schools. We have gone over how to create groups. How to insert and save images, touched on Hapara .
I am looking forward to learning more over the next 9 weeks.
I really enjoyed your introductory slide. Impressive you thought to include your remove.bg work!

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have you on the course and I'm glad you got to hear the background to Manaiakalani. Understanding how it all started and why we do the things we do will hopefully give you the context necessary for you to be able to see the purpose behind our kaupapa.
I'm super excited to see how you will apply all of this to your own practice with the Gateways programme too :).
Nice work on your images, the remove.bg site is a good tool to have up your sleeve. Your images would look even better if they filled the whole blog post. You can do that by editing this post, and then clicking on the blue dots associated with the image. Drag out one of the blue dots from the corner and it will increase in size :)
Looking forward to working with you over the coming weeks.

HI Paul
ReplyDeleteWas great working with you today as you began your DFI journey. It is great to put ourselves in our learners shoes and see what it is like. Today's students are very lucky with the opportunities they have to share their learning.
Look forwarf to working with you over the next eight weeks.
Hi Paul
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to working with you on this DFI journey. Its great to see you jumping in with creating, and also making the connection to how your students learn and connect with each other.
Our students really are so lucky to have this opportunity, and as educators we are so lucky to be able to inspire our learners to create their own content to share what they are learning.
Blog you later
