DFI Day 9: Revision and Exam!

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

Working with digital technology allows the teacher to give the students quicker instructions so they can roam and give more one on one attention to students.

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

I like getting ideas off other teachers that are working well to use in my class. I will look into flipgrid where students can give there thoughts in videos on the same page.
Learning more about google classroom showed me how to create and give assignments. This would be an alternative and I could try it. I like the idea of the responses being put into a folder automatically as my students are not on one to one devices and have limited time to play on devices.

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

Creating a website and videos allows parents and students how to do things so they can work things out together when students get stuck. The rewindable learning takes the stress of urgency out of the learning.

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

Passing the exam really helped me with confidence. I enjoyed the revision using youtube videos at home. This allowed me to understand more how everything fits together as a whole.
