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.
