Week 9

 We made it...

The day starts with reflection What has worked and what hasn't.

Today the focus was on preparation for the exam and looking at

Manaiakalani Opportunities

The Manaiakalani Innovation Team, supported by the MET, has a number of opportunities to offer teachers in Manaiakalani (including Outreach) schools.

These include:

• Manaiakalani Innovative Teachers 

• Manaiakalani Google Class OnAir 

• DFI Coach and/or facilitation

Celebration of success

What have others done and how have they done this?

As always I love hearing how others are able to use technology to enable access to all learners (at their own pace and ability). Technology has enabled learning to so many that in previous times/ years would have been completely out of reach. The Manaiakalani approach makes learning accessible to all.

I have loved this course. I was convinced this would be well out of my league before we started but the approach to learning has made this achievable. It has made me reflect as a teacher. Which kid in my class/es is like me? Do I repeat the instructions enough for the child who switched off, for what ever reason? Am I able to make sure I cater for all learning style in my approach? It has been really good for me to be well out of my comfort zone....... to not only up skill but also to reflect on myself as a learner/Teacher.  

This is the world our learners are in. They are not afraid of technology so I need to be armed with the ability to teach this, to think like this, to understand the language and to ensure that the children in my care are safe and prepared for the future as users online.

Many thanks
