This has been quite a journey, so much to learn and practise.  Certainty know what it is like  to be a learner in the learning pit.  Learning from others is great to keep practising what  you learn and share.  There is so much to gain from digital fluency.  I think no matter where you start just keep going has been my biggest growth.  This is all about confidence have a go and keep going.  All the qualities we want our learners to have.  My picture is a representative of a day in my classroom anything can happen.  These children just opened the door and let the lamb in the class.  It was the reaction from me that was more shocked than my learners.  This is my leaning journey link to digital learning.  My learners have the right growth mindset and I owe it to them to be equally open to learning.
The Manaiakalani create, learn, share is perfect for all good teaching and learning practice.

week 8

Reflection

• Improved your understanding for the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

Good pedagogy i s good pedagogy whatever you are teaching and it is enlightening to know the pedagogy Manaiakalani has is all about learn, create, share. The digital technology is making the learning better. It gives students agency.

• Empowered you professionally with your teaching practice?

I feel professionally empowered to know there are so many opportunities connecting our

students to have an authentic purpose and audience with endless opportunities.

• Given you new skills that you can use with your learners?  

The "green screen do ink" is an app that many of our children could use and present and

share to a wide audience. Many skills are needed to use this effectively including saving

before sharing to the drive.

• Improved your confidence with digital fluency, capability or workflow in your personal life?

I am way more confident to keep going when I don't succeed. It definitely has put me
in the learners position and the feeling of being in the learners pit. I still have a steep wall to

climb but that is true authentic learning.
