What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Every time I hear the Manaiakalani Origin story I learn something new. Yesterday it was difficult to focus on the presentation whilst trying to problem solve the Wifi issues - I now know to check this prior to accepting a location as a venue! I found it really interesting to know the schools in Manaiakalani, when plotted on a map are in the shape of the hook! Really interesting to see the shift in high achieving Y10 highlighted in the original pilot classes - good to know to hook in some teachers.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Google Groups - the value of these is awesome! I can see this being useful both professionally and personally - a google group for the family emails!
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
With the teachers being the learners I am working with there are so many wonderful things that are helpful for them. I think having an organised drive makes such a difference to the work flow for many teachers. If you can eliminate the time spent searching for a doc or managing sharing permissions then that makes more time for things that are more meaningful!
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
I love to play with Google Docs as a creative space, this is often an under utilised aspect of this tool and the remove.bg site is fabulous for making images look professional... it could also be really fun to play with. I can imagine using it create pictures of your 'world travel' all without leaving home!
