Hello to the world of bloggers. This term I have taken on the task of upskilling myself digitally. Starting out the day before I had many feelings about what I had gotten myself into, anxiety, fear, pure disbelief that I am the one to blame for putting myself in this situation! What do I know and what am I going to retain?
Here I am at the end of day 1 and phew, I survived, very dramatic I know but the relief is real. What an easy going group of people and the tutors were clear and easy to follow. Everyone was friendly and their was absolutely no judgement on each others abilities.
I learnt a lot of skills that I can apply in class on a daily basis such as using voice typing, which I am excited to try and what you can actually do with a Google Doc. It is also really helpful and interesting to hear different opinions and ways of structuring learning in the classroom from others in similar or completely different situations and roles.
The following DLO (Digital Learning Object) is my first and was done by me on a Google Doc. My focus for this DLO was our class blogging and what I am trying to encourage our students to do without thinking so that they can be successful.
Looking forward to Day 2 in Kaitaia next week

I know how you felt! I am glad to be doing the DFI with you, Gina. Good to be in 'learner shoes' for the day. Your doc image looks very professional. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane. Was definitely fun having you as a learning buddy.
DeleteHi Gina
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you enjoyed the first day, and it sounds like it was at a good pace for you. We're all in this learning waka together and that's something I really like about our Digital Fluency Intensive course, we have so much experience in the room and everyone brings something to the conversation.
I like your DLO and I'm sure your ākonga will too. I'm looking forward to seeing what they create :)
Onwards and upwards Gina :)
Hi Gina
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to working with you on this DFI journey. Congratulations on your first blog post. You image looks fantasic too, something that will be very useful in your class and on your classblog for students to look back at.
I wonder how your trial of voice typing went? What was successful and what was the added value for you and your students?
Blog you later
