Day started with Karakia led by Vicki and then followed by connecting with each other in our bubble group. Everyone shared their week and the previous learning that they have used in the class and if they find anything difficult or if they need any help with something.
Connecting with Manaiakalani- Dorothy
Being Empowered and making our learners and whanau empowered, can help us thrive in this continuously changing world digitally. The word agency is changed with Empowerment because it was regarded as taking choices away from learners and whanau. Children from low socio economic income have known far more less words than higher socio economic income. Technology can absolutely strengthen and empower our learners and whanau. we can change circumtances to empower young people through education. We can develop oral language and enable them to learn. Equity, choice and power EDOS is available to whanau and they can get inernet at home free of charge. Manaiakalani want to empower the eductors so that they can empower learners.
Future of Tech- Amie
Technology is changing every second. Our future job , communities and societies will be totally different than what we have today. We have to think and empower ourselves to what future technology could bring to us. At the same time, we have to think how can we empower our learners for future jobs.
Intro to computational thinking- Vicki
I totally agree that DFI program has really empowered me and gave me the confidence to use specific digital technologies to teach and assess my learners. Digital technology curriculum involves computational language and the fundamentals. Progress outcome includes breaking down non-computerise task, using algorithm,sequencing, identifying errors and rectifying those errors. This session was really helpful for me as I intend to teach DT next year.
We looked at different DT outcomes on TKI. I know some of the programms that kids used. However, there were many new DT which I haven't heard of. I tried some of coding programmes during exploring time. I tried scratch pad and Minecraft. It was fun and at some point frustrating when I couldn't achieve what I wanted to achieve. Long way to go!!!!!
