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

We want to empower our learners to be positive, connected and confident. ( though when I scrawled that last word down I thought I had written non violent...likely that is a good aspiration to have as well!) Globally there has been more of a focus on being positive. As teachers we want to elevate positive, thoughtful and helpful comments when we engage online. Counter the negative in the media. Being cybersmart also means being able to harness technology even when not at school. Learning is visible and ubiquitous.

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

I had not delved into chromebooks or Hapara as a junior class teacher. I know that my learners will at some stage be utilising Explain everything. The importance of using the correct vocabulary was stressed, consistency in tool naming. Exploring the tool I succeeded in writing my name and taking a picture of myself but came unstuck when it came to using the shapes and colours to make the phone. Then tried recording myself, wanted to delete it but ended up deleting everything. So! Some practice needed there, no doubt Room 7 can teach me when the time comes.

Screencastify definitely will help with my class site ( which is part of my personal life, it gets updated in my bedroom presently...can't get more personal than that!) I know that I can make a video, not highly professional perhaps but fine to deliver to a class of 6 year olds. See below...

Then this is me attempting to screencastify for the second time..My first time attempting to cast my screen was to show a Mum of an ESOL student how to find and navigate our class site. Which was successful!
I can see the value of being able to cast my screen and make a recording . I believe I will appear in a wee square in the corner also?
