Staying connected

Keep learning and developing through Manaiakalani. Acquire skills and confidence through opportunities provided. Keep developing the professional blog and exploring what others are doing. 

Goals achieved

Goal 1: Our teachers are supported to acquire fluency using the basic tools our young people use for learning. Definitely agree with this. The importance for this has become highlighted by the use of one-to-one devices and online learning when situations change. Still on this journey of learning and loving it.

Goal 2: Our teachers are supported to acquire fluency using the basic tools required for effective teaching, planning, assessment and professional learning. 
Supported in all these areas for efficiency, engagement and confidence to develop skills. 

Goal 3: Our teachers are supported to understand how digital technologies used effectively can have a significant impact on accelerating achievement outcomes.
I've have seen how technology can impact on a student's learning in a number of ways: providing purposeful learning, providing new opportunities for collaboration, and meeting the needs of individuals. This course has offered some other creative approaches. Awesome!

Goal 4: Our teachers are supported to understand how the Manaiakalani pedagogy and kaupapa has been co-constructed over more than a decade to maximise the impact of effective teaching and learning in a digital learning environment.
I have explored this in past DFI posts. The journey and development was clear and purposeful as stated in the goal.
