Digital Fluency Intensive #9

PLD - 2019 Term 1 - Session #9 - Digital Fluency Intensive

Agenda

Dorothy’s presentation about “ubiquitous” was good for us to know that
children learn anywhere, anytime, anyplace and from anyone.

Again ‘It’s not just a tool!” was reiterated so all of us focus

on the Manaiakalani Kaupapa.

Computational Thinking

The session with Zoe and Vivian was mind blowing in a good sense.  

Deep Dive

• Intro to the future of tech and what it means for our tamariki
• Ethics and Morals of machines.

Was interesting to listen to and digest.

Chalk ‘n Talk:

• Intro to the digital technologies curricula and structure
• Intro to the ‘Discipline language’ of Digital Technologies

Was very interesting to listen to and learn.

The need for all teachers to explore the digital technologies new curricula

is important.

The awareness of what the future will look like and be, is really exciting for

our students and the way we teach.

I still need to explore the website https://kiatakatu.ac.nz/ to sign in

and see what is available for PLD.

The brainstorming of ideas around Barriers, Time, Attitude / Confidence,

Resources, Skills, Needs, Strengths and Next Steps around

the Digital curriculum was enlightening.

I am sure we as a CoL can meet this challenge of the government

with ease with the expertise and enthusiasm we have around the cluster.

The DFI course was very valuable and enabled me to understand thoroughly
the Manaiakalani Kaupapa and fully use all Google apps more efficiently.

The PLD I acquired through the 9 weeks is immense.

I am now confident I can share this Professional Learning with my colleagues at school.

A big Thank you to Dorothy and Gerhard for enabling us all in Cohort #1 to
Learn / Create and Share, just like our Tamariki do.
