DFI 9

The last day has arrived, I will miss the Tuesday online meets. I learnt more about 'ubiquitous' today which links to the Manaiakalani Kaupapa. It was the essence of the whole lockdown period anywhere, anytime, any pace, with anyone.

The course has made me reflect more on the opportunities the DFI will provide not only for myself but for my students and colleagues. To be added to the 'team of DFI' trained teachers at kura will ease the burden off them, especially my two teaching colleagues. I can match the standards they have set and will be up there with them.

The Google Level 1 Exam just topped it off, talk about pressure. Learnt a whole lot of new tricks using an ipad to take photo's of the instructions rather than changing tabs all the time. The work by the facilitators really help get you there, but overall it has been 9 weeks of learning new skills wise.

What are you proud of?
I am extremely proud that we(my teaching team(who had both completed DFI course) & colleagues) were at the right place with just enough professional learning amongst us at the right time and place to get the 'job' done during lockdown using the Manaiakalani resources.

What do you regret?
The only regret is not looking at the Manaiakalani kaupapa closely before coming onto DFI. Dorothy's input has clarified and expanded the horizon for me.


What will you be taking forward into the ‘new’ era of schooling?
I will be taking the components of Learn, Create, Share and looking into it more deeply. e.g. Too much learning, Where is the create and share?

The balanced and varied approach will be used more carefully.
