DFI Day 1: Core Business

Week 1 Blog Post

1. I always thought that Manaiakalani was all about Chromebooks... well... it's not.  It is about the pedagogy of the Learn, Create, Share Model blending schooling improvement with digital learning. It's about authentic learning and having a voice to share with others.  Knowledge without Action is nothing but dust!
2. To improve my confidence as a professional I need to dedicate time to practice new learning and teach others so that it sticks... LEARN & SHARE! My capability will grow as I add new learning as an extension to what I already know.  Being more efficient and actually 'knowing' rather than 'guessing' will also boost my confidence and capability to CREATE fun and innovative learning and teaching experiences for us all. 
3. So much of what we learnt today can be shared with our learners.  From tidying up our GOOGLE DRIVES to creating GOOGLE DOCS to ensure all students are creating folders, saving work into the correct folder and naming each document the same.  Keeping it simple and making the learning and use of the learn, create, share pedagogy to drive my programme relevant!
4. In my personal life, the learning gained today will hopefully over time, give me time to have a personal life.  That means being more efficient, utilising programmes and building my capablity to carry out the Learn, Create, Share Model.

Blogging - The First One Ever

Tuesday 19 September

Well, what do you know.
Patsy Wynyard is blogging and right now, I have my BLOGGING LEARNER LICENCE.
Like all Learner Licence drivers, It's going to be a long journey and I'm just hoping with good support I'll be able to drive this blogging vehicle and not crash along the way.
Bear with me, make it click and enjoy the ride.
