Ka mau te wehi!!!

 What a fabulous introduction to creating my own spreadsheet; then analysing a student's blog archive and graphing it.

I also embedded my map of places I would like to visit: Austria, Rarotonga and Italy.

Was so nice to have four facilitators and so many more fellow colleagues to grab some teaching ideas from.

I know my own class will enjoy working on Google slides which is something else we were engaged with today.

Altogether a very good day of learning.

Our host school, Papakura Central School, otherwise known as Kotuitui ki Papakura provided us with some delicious snacks and a very warm auditorium to hone our digital skills.

No complaints at all really!!!!

Thanks Dorothy, Jeremy, Vicki, and Cam 👍 👏

Week 4 at Manaiakalani with Five Clusters from Hamilton and Auckland

Week 3 Online Session

 That was certainly a lot to take in, and it wasn't easy. I do love all the possibilities Manaiakalani has presented us with. I know my tamariki are going to have a ball once I've become a lot more confident in using all these different digital platforms. Thanks very much for a good day Dorothy, Jeremy, Vicki, Makaore and my bubble group.

I am currently trying to go back onto Youtube to create my own playlist(s), or at least starting that process, here below you will see my Digital Pepeha that I have been working on.

Off to finish my lunch first!!!! lol. 

Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday Jeremy.

My Very First Google Meeting with Susana

Today, Susana and I learnt about how to use Google Meet to explore blogs from other people. So good to have so many people contributing helpful ideas when using google sites. I am still practising recording my Google Meetings and embedding them onto my blog. Thanks to Jeremy, Jacob, Lewin and Susana for this interesting day.

New Learning during Day 2 DFI Friday 14th May 2021

 Well, well. The next time you receive an email from my school gmail, you will get my own personalised signature!!!

A further comment about my learning on Friday

 Morena Tatou,

As I was leaving at the end of the day on Friday, I shared with our facilitators, Dorothy, Jeremy and Jacob that it was quite an eye opener. 

I felt like I'd just stumbled into the learning space, and was in uncontrolled forward momentum, with learning digitally.

Day 1 DFI Tania's Amazing Digital Journal

 Wow!!!!! Such a lot for me to take in, and learn. The experience I have had today however, has still been amazing.

Manaiakalani has 'hooked' me into the digital world, and now I am excited about how the online platforms can help me and my class to create endless learning opportunities. I am in this DFI intake with my wonderful teaching colleagues, including Majda and Susana. We also sat next to Lewin, a former member of our teacher staff at OPS; who was a big help in helping me navigate my way around the various tabs and slide information.

What you can see here, is something I have created this in a Google Doc, and using different ways I can format a doc, using text, creating a table and finding images to insert and I've taken a screenshot of the final result that will share with my students.

Furthermore, I'm really excited with the prospect of using another tool known as voice typing. I know this is going to be incredibly helpful for some of my reluctant writers!!! They won't know themselves!!!
