DFI Day 2 Workflow Reflection

Another day of learning. We use Hapara at Weymouth Primary School to help us as educators with our learners and their devices 1:1. I remember during our in-class Facilitator Support with Jeremy Ferguson last year and how he encouraged us as educators to use Hapara as a tool to support learners instead of a watchdog type application. I am quite confident using Hapara.

With Dorothy this morning she spoke to us about Ako - Learn. A question that she had in her presentation was: What does Learning look like in my school? And as a practitioner can I articulate this? At Weymouth Primary we have our Weymouth Way - We think, we help, we learn, we care. In Te Reo Maori it translates to: Ka whakaaro tatou, ka awhina tatou, ka ako tatou, ka awhina tatou. Our values: Respect and Honesty Te Whakakute me te Ngakaupono. Our vision is: Whaia te iti kahurangi which translate to Strive for the best. Dorothy also talked about: Recognise Effective Practice, Amplify Effective Practice and Turbo Effective Practice. 

A small part of the session was about Cybersmart and Smart Footprint. I take for granted that my learners know the expectations around this. I will go back to this and go through it again about "Digital Footprint".

Part of the session was to: create a meet in Google calendar. In pairs we had to share our screens with our buddies and record our meeting. In the meeting we shared a blog post from the Summer Learning Journey and had these reflective questions. 

Here is my screen recording from today:

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?

Carrying on from last week of the Reading Mileage activity. I did show my learners how to use tables in docs.

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

It has more been a refresher of what I have been learning and practicing in my classroom.
