DFI Day 5 - Hamilton F2F Cohort

 

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

It's important to make learning visible, not only for tamariki but for sharing amongst kaiako.

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

At first I found the concept of making a site difficult, it was hard to compute in my head. The site in the picture below is my one for our kura, and I was having difficulty with what to put in it. After our break we started working on ones for a Multi Modal site, each kaiako and kaimahi doing our own page for our manu amorangi here at kura. For this I started planning first on a piece of paper and soon had a good idea with lots of notes jotted down for where I was going to go with this. Taking the time to writing out a plan for this site made me feel a lot more confident in creating it.

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

I am looking forward to creating my site for the tari, so that I can get info out to the parents and interact with them in a new way. Have forms, procedures etc on there that they will have easy access to and know where to go for them. I will now take the time to plan this out in writing, jotting down notes, so I can get the process sorted out in my head first.

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

Everything we went over today, but like with anything, the more you use it the more I will get used to it and be able to create new things. Writing out a plan will help me a lot, I found once I started writing out one, it led to more and more content I could put in my site.
