Digital Fluency Intensive - Take 2!

Kia ora everyone,

Welcome back to Term 3!  It is week one, and I am lucky enough to be back on DFI to complete the course interrupted by Covid and the Lockdown.
I am learning alongside a new group of teachers from various schools around Christchurch - it is nice to be connecting with colleagues again, sharing thoughts and ideas.

So today has been Core Business - origins and pedagogy of Manaiakalani, and touched on tips and tricks of Google Drive and Docs.  The origins remind us that Learn Create Share provides a 21st century model to engage, empower and raise achievement of our learners - through the use of digital technologies. Revisiting the tips has been beneficial as it has reminded (and cemented) some cool ideas to be used back in the Hub.

Today I particularly enjoyed going back through my Add Ons and Extensions, Google docs word processing and creating a multi modal poster, that I may potentially use in my Literacy!  It is not finished yet, but this is what I have so far...


See you all next week for Day 2.

  1. Kia ora Mel,

    Great to see your enthusiasm for being back at the DFI. It's kind of special that you get to revisit a few of the lessons. I really like the look of your Literacy task. It's so clean and simple but also eye catching. I'd feel very lucky if I was a student in your class.

    Ngā mihi,
    Sharon

  2. Kia Ora Mel,
    Welcome back to the DFI, did you find you picked up anything new today that you missed the first time around? What ideas did today remind that you wanted to use back in the hub? So great that the day was thought provoking for you

  3. Hi Melanie, what an extensive reflection of Week 1. What extensions did you like the look of that you are going to attempt to implement to support your teaching?
