DFI Day 2 - Hamilton F2F Cohort

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

That the kaupapa and pedagogy has been co-created for over more than a decade to get the maximum impact of teaching and learning in this digital environment. Taking in to account all the research and findings along the way. All the while teachers are being supported to work within the digital world and teach within the digital realm... but not just the digital world as we're not throwing the baby out with the bath water.

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

Embedding video is my blog is rather exciting and looking forward to having more goes at that, once I get the hang of recording myself in google meets... and in other mediums as well.

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

Another day of crazy fast learning, that I am glad I can rewind the lessons. Looking forward to using and getting more confident with google meets. I had a good grasp on sorting my bookmarks and email already, but have learnt a few extra tricks to use them more efficiently.

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

Pretty much as above. Looking forward to getting more confident with google meets and taking advantage of all it's features.

Below are my attempts at recording my google meet and then learning how to embed it into my blog (super exciting to be able to do that).

Second attempt at recording:

DFI Day 1 - Hamilton F2F Cohort

Today we had our first DFI session for the Hamilton F2F Cohort 

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

The history and how Manaiakalani came about, and how much things have changed in what seems like such a short time, but it really has been a long journey from the beginning so far.

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

Learning about the headers and contents was a bit of a game changer that will be very handy for long docs, making it easier to keep track.

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

Not too sure about this one yet but keen to learn and have picked up some great tips for all my admin work.

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

The tips we learnt during "Create" with Docs will be great to use.  Even the simple fact that if it's not being printed then no need for margins.  This will be very helpful with creating docs. 

I'm looking forward to learning a lot more.  Having used google docs for a while I thought I knew what I was doing, but I learnt a lot of helpful tips and tricks today that will be very helpful.
