Week 1 - Core Business -'It's business time..!'

Sylvia's DFI Journey Term 3 2021  

Week 1 

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

I'd kind of  heard about the how Manaiakalani came about prior to this session but I guess the biggest reflection for me was that how those initial schools put their heads above the parapet and got started.  The trailblazers so to speak.  Great courage.

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

I've made the decision to improve the ability to move around our CTS operational plan by using links to sub headings etc. My drive needs a little clean up but it's not too bad. I've only been at CTS for 18 months and I've been ruthless about organising. Learnt a few new tricks - words over pictures etc.

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

I've not actually used 'voice typing' with more than one student so I'd been keen to practise a little more and then use this functionality with a group or class.

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

It's good to know that you can have a personal profile and a professional profile on the one device and make sure you keep them seperate.
