DFI course.
Day One
Ohaewai
Digital Fluency Intensive (DFI) course on Wednesday last week.
Heard how Manaiakalani came into existence and how it has been put to use throughout many schools in NZ.
Course certainly lived up to its name, was intensive alright, but then it was the first day and no matter what you do, in the beginning there is invariably always lots of new information to process. Usually a matter of learning and becoming familiar with the basics, then hopefullythe rest will follow.
Been doing a bit of recapping today and even though its early days I am starting to see that this is definitely a reflection of what is happening in the classroom and how students are learning, engaging with each other, school, the community and finding out about the world. What a fantastic creative way for people to produce amazing slides and blogs to express themselves, put forth ideas and I can see how it can increase student literacy.
Looking forward to the learning and completing this course.
can see how useful learning how to use all the tools would be be to Teachers , students and staff at schools. We have gone over how to create groups. How to insert and save images, touched on Hapara .
I am looking forward to learning more over the next 9 weeks.
