Day 2 of my DFI Experience

So Day 2 of my Manaiakalani DFI experience was just as mind boggling but full of lots more knowledge as Day 1.  I have got to know the great people in my digital bubble group, led by the awesome Vicki Archer, a bit better too.

Above is the video that I was clever enough to do (clever for a moment anyway) after setting up a google meet group with fellow DFI learner Lyn from Greymouth.  I presented in that google meet and then recorded Lyn and my discussion about what I was sharing. This is the actual student blog I chose to present and talk about with Lyn.  http://pslochiet.blogspot.com/2020/05/mothers-day-writing.html

It took some real concentration but I did feel a great sense of achievement once successful :-)

I have also managed to take another big lot of knowledge from our Chalk 'n Talk, Explore and Deep Dive sessions today. Some good tips around working with my Gmail, my calendar and trying to keep my tabs in some sort of manageable order...... lots to work on for the next week.

It was also very interesting to hear Dorothy speak about the Learn part of the Learn-Create-Share kaupapa. 

The Hapara Hot Tip was a good one and I now need to touch base with our IT facilitator in our school Kerry to give me access to Hapara so I can 'star' some of my favourite classes I would like to be a part of.

All in all, another information packed full day.  Thank you to my Principal Edith Painting-Davis for allowing me to do this course.

DFI Day one experiences

So today I spent the day learning some amazing stuff.  I started off very enthusiastic, dropped into a OMG this is so much to take in and then from there it was..... my brain is overloaded!!😅

However I got to join some other like minded people on a learning journey that I know I will gain some long lifetime skills from.

I now have a much better understanding of the Manaiakalani Education Trust, its origins, its success so far and more importantly its vision for digital learning in the future.

Dorothy, you are a wonder to listen to, thank you for sharing your knowledge today and I look forward to learning more from you in the next 9 weeks.  Vicki, my digital group guru, thank you for being so easy to connect with and for being such a patient teacher.

Unfortunately my brain is so overflowing I dont think I can pinpoint any one or two things that I have learnt but judging by the fogginess of the brain I have crammed it full of new stuff.

I look forward to next week with bated breath. See you all next week
