DFI Session Nine

Wow, I can't believe it's the last week of DFI. I have learnt so much over the last nine weeks.

After we had been in our digital bubbles we meet back with Dorothy. Today's short session just finished off our journey with DFI. She covered ubiquitous learning. I would sum this up with the saying that learning is available anytime, anywhere at any pace and also from anyone. All learners have the potential to be experiencing high-quality learning at any time not just between nine and three. It's rewindable learning - available any time for every child.

I took the Google exam at the weekend and I got the results early this morning that I passed. So that's great. I felt really ready for it and confident in what I knew. I was really proud of what I have achieved over the nine weeks of DFI and this was an added bonus. Thanks to Vicki for showing us how to put the badge on our blog.

The last part of the day was the DFI slam. Wow-what a slide of resources. I look forward to having a good look through these over the holidays. I have enjoyed the last nine weeks of DFI the learning that I have done is amazing and I look forward to using so many of these resources and ideas in my hub.

Have you completed the DFI? If yes, what was your favourite thing you learnt?

DFI Session Eight

Session 8!

So meeting again in our digital bubbles. I really enjoy this time to share what has worked well for me during the week or what I have used in my hub. The Digital Dig from last week was a real hit with my Year 5/6 children. I am loving all the resources that I am getting during this course. Even in our digital bubble, we were sharing Matariki resources.

We then moved on to The Manaiakalani Kaupapa of Empowerment. This was one of the most important messages I got from this session.

Devices are not just tools they are transforming the way that the children learn and offer them new experiences and opportunities.

Having a better understanding of the Digital Curriculum Document was a great session. The slide that we were shared has some really good information for a better understanding. Hopefully, you enjoy looking at it.

Next, we had a look at coding and had some playing and creating time. I enjoyed seeing what was actually available for children. I will use some of these in. my hub. I especially liked the Minecraft Voyage. This would be great to use for strand maths. Children would be very engaged in this.

Have you ever coded before? Did you enjoy it?
