Īpapa, hanga tapuwaewae

 

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

Create: I learnt to use another device and create a piece that shows the history of my activity online. I appreciated the pictures and features that were already set up for us.

I learnt how frustrating it is to use a chromebook, and that it must be as frustrating for my students. So I will be more patient when guiding them through our class mahi and systems.

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

I have an understanding of the frustration the tamariki go through when working in classroom.

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

Understanding the dynamics of using a chromebook. Learning the features of the chromebook and going through the same issues and journey on chromebook as my students do.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

Not all devices work the same way or have the same features, and that I need to be familiar with the chromebook as this is what my students work with, and work is quite demanding at times. Being patient and understanding and supportive with students in class.
