 Me thinks our ipads may need a bit of updating......

Ubiquitous...

Learning can happen anywhere, from anyone, at any time.  Pace adjustment and the ability to re look at things - so important.  So reassuring that our plan from 2020 worked again in 2021. Learning takes place outside 9-3pm.  

I need to utilise the screencastify process with the students.  I've only really used it to teach the teachers how to use different tech tools or our SMS system. 


I have specifically enjoyed the rewindable factor within my own DFI journey. I need to extend this into my teaching and model it for the staff.  I've used some screencastify videos doen by kids to show other kids how to post their work into our reporting system HERO.


What are you proud of?

The plan we put in place last year being reactivated at short notice.  

What do you regret?

Continuing with class dojo as its been a real bugger with the new 'create activity' functionality that kept failing, leading to heightened frustrations of students and parents. 

What have you taken forward into the 'new era of schooling?'



Being cybersmart...positive, thoughtful and helpful.  

I love an annual overview!  


Love the idea of the cybersmart whanau session in kura.  Especially as we are trying to improve learner relationships. 

Love explain everything. Here is my go !



I then had a go at making a screencastify.



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

  • We've done the ubiquitous staff meeting so just a good reminder at this stage.

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

  • Just good to be able to have a plan around the school site.

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

  • This isn't that relevant currently but it is a need to know what/how the teachers/learners work.

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

  • Workflow has definitely improved by using the tools that I've learnt in DFI.

  1. Kia ora Sylvia,
    Love the positivity in your post! It sounds like as a school you were able to move into the distance learning space quickly to support your learners, ka pai! I also really liked your screencastify and I liked the way you incorporated the use of Google Keep into the lesson.

    Remember it's a good idea to preview your post before you publish it so you can see if your post is formatted well. You might want to remove the formatting on the questions you've copied from the agenda.
