And that's a DFI Badge

 

Exam Week, Week 9

Tērā a Matariki e rewa ana i te rangi.  E Pōwhiri ana i te tau hōu, e poroporoaki  ana i te hunga mate o te tau.  Ko koe tērā e whaea, nō reira haere atu ki a rātou e tatari ana ki a koe, haere, haere, whakangaro atu ki te pō. Kei te matua e Makaore, e kore te kupu e rewa i te mamae, e rūmaki rānei i te pouri, e tika ana te kōrero "ko te mamae te utu o te aroha". Nō reira waihoa mai ēnei kupu hei ara mōu te hoki ora mai ki waenganui i tō whānau, i o hoa,  ā, te hapori o Manaia Kalani me ngā matatini o te Kahui DFI. Kia kaha e hoa. 

Tīhei Mauri Ora ki a Tātou.

This week was all about our Google Educator Test.  Well I found the multi choice questions the hardest. Everything else was sweet. Have really enjoyed the pass 9 weeks with my DFI crew have learnt t a tonne of new stuff how to create, share and empower my learners, their whanau and myself.  With that said Full Credit to Matua Makaore and the Hapai-ō of ManaiaKalani and the further DFI crew i leave these word as a symbol of my appreciation "keep on keeping on". Thanks alot and i will continue to post blogs up here and follow some others digital journey. 

And i PASSED. YES, now is there any other PLD i can do wtih you guys.

DFI Week 7 and Week 8

 Ata marie,

Kei aku nui, kei aku rahi, kei aku whakateitei ki te whenua, kia ora mai taatou katoa.

Manaiakalani:
Giving the power to the students to have control over their learning was today's focus. Creating teaching content to be rewindable is one way Manaiakalani found really useful in achieving that goal. So for me it was creating content which locks in my learners by keeping them engaged and focussed  and easy to navigate through the lesson. Only way to achieve this was trial and error. Our students  evaluated our learning content and give us teacher feedback so we know how to fix and improve our rewindable learning content.

Cyber Smart:

Having frequent reminders around cyber space is so important to teaching our learners about being aware and using technology in a positive instead of a negative way. Understanding that everything  you do online will always be online.  Teaching our learners to have a smart relationship is always better than a bitter relationship.

Creating Content:

Really enjoyed this session

Week 8 

Second favourite week lol enjoyed learning how to code and having a lot of resources to take back to my classroom.
