Digital Fluency - Week Whitu

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

Ubiquitous learning - rewindable, accessible - can help to bridge the gap in educational inequalities. Our lower socioeconomic learners, who often enter school with less oral language (and as a result, at a disadvantage in early literacy learning) than their higher socio- economic counterparts, can have the chance to catch up and revisit new learning with the help of personal devices. I like to think of access to devices in this way, a strategy for combating inequality.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

I am steadily gaining confidence adding creativity and functionality to the learning I share with my students online. Today I shared next week's learning on the site, embedding slides and sharing the slides directly into their folders via Hapara and adding Mote voice notes to go alongside written instructions. Feeling stoked.

With the added confidence, I am gaining efficiency in my work as I am less hesitant to give new things a go.

I have shared with my student the Digital Dive lesson that we completed - I learnt a lot about Chromebook shortcuts and I am going to use it as an assessment of my student's capabilities.
