DFI 9


I did not feel confident enough to do the exam today. A bit of a chicken! I have learnt so much throughout the DFI but find that I do take a little bit longer to consolidate some of the new learning. It is great to have the rewindable learning so that I can continue to go back and practise things I am unsure of. Thank You to our wonderful facilitators who have been so patient and helpful. 
I am really enjoying using what I have learnt with my staff through google meets and also with the class I teach through a site. I am also working on a site displaying our school curriculum.
This learning has been so timely with online learning due to Covid-19. I feel really fortunate to be part of Manaiakalani.

Ubiquitous - Anytime, Anywhere, Any pace
Rewindable learning- This has been so useful for me, knowing I can go back and look at things and learn at my own pace.
Online learning during Covid-19 has made ubiquitous learning a reality, our students are learning at home and can rewind and can learn anytime, anywhere.
Summer Learning Journal has made a huge difference to students who participated in this.
Technology enables removal of barriers, previously inconceivable solutions to problems, opportunities for new ways of learning. IT'S NOT JUST A TOOL.

What I am proud of - I have learnt so much and I am able to use so many more digital skills. I am proud of the fact that I can 'troubleshoot' problems and find solutions.

What I regret - Not being brave enough to sit the exam.

What I will be taking forward to the new era of schooling - Using these things when we are back at school, don't go back to what we were doing before, incorporate both styles of teaching.

  1. Kia ora Diane. I totally agree, it is a great feeling to be able to trouble shoot problems kids and staff have using digital technology. We are very lucky to be part of Manaiakalani.
    I reckon you would have aced the test - but practice makes perfect. Good luck for when decide to give it a go

  2. Hi Diane. Well done for doing the DFI. You obviously learned a lot and gave it your best. I can understand not sitting the exam. At least you have lots of new knowledge that you can use to support your staff and students. I agree, being part of Manaiakalani has allowed us to be better prepared for distance learning. I hope all goes well for you when school resumes.
