What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Use the word Agency carefully with our whanau. Empowered has a far more positive outcome.
Time to explore TKI resources
It was great to have the time to explore the resources on TKI - I have found on this course it has been absolutely fantastic to be allowed the time to explore on our own. Teaching makes us so busy so having that time within our day is invaluable.
Scratch
I loved having a play on Scratch and this is something I would love to include in my classroom going forward. This is a great stepping stone into coding and I think it wall be something my kids will love!
I will need to do a bit more practise before introducing it, so I know what I am talking about!
Final reflection
As the last day of DFI teaching comes to a close I reflect on the things I have learnt and the way I have implemented new learning into my classroom. This course has been perfect timing as I felt a lot more confident within my own abilities during our online lockdown teaching. It is also wonderful to have all the slideshows ect to be able to use them for rewindable learning in the future.
Thanks, it has been a blast!
There are some great physical resources for Scratch such as printable blocks that can be quite fun to start introducing your students to coding!
