DFI Session 1 Reflection.



DFI Session 1 Reflection.

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Today I enjoyed listening to the Manaiakalani story and adding t my knowledge of this.
Facilitators have done a great job adding to my knowledge of Learn, Create, Share when
they have come into school for staff hui's and Professional development. Students at Awapuni school where
I work have done a lot of blogging and making comments however I have not since 2019.
Good to have a refresher again and to start actively using it.


What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
It has been over half a year since I used google hangouts and google meets. Didn't take long to get use to using this tool again. I have used google doc, google drive for over 5 or 6 years now but still good to have a few shortcuts and further extend my kete of knowledge.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I will continue to use speech to text with our learners. Also using voice text with ESOL learners
and google translator. It worked extremely well last year with a spanish speaking student who
this year has made outstanding progress.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Everything today added more to my knowledge and will add to personal life.
Google Docs, google drive, voice to text, blogger

  1. Kia Ora Stu,

    It's great to have people on the DFI programme who already have experience with Google products. It's good that you were still able to pick up some tips for Docs this week, and I'm sure as the course progresses you will learn lots of useful life and school hacks. Great picture, was that taken near the school?

    Nga mihi
