DFI Week 1 Learning never stops

Today I had the opportunity to be a part of the DFI Learing group.

I learnt that the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy started back in 2006 with a group of wonderful people that saw the need to implement a learning platform to capture the creativity of a community.  This community didn't have access to today's devices or internet connectivity but they still made it work. It would be interesting to see how this initial project has impacted the tamariki, whanau and community.

When I started this I did not have a lot of confidence in navigating my way around all things google.  What I quickly found out is that there is always something new to learn and the best way for me to learn is to practice, access and do.  Mistakes makes learning interesting. Questions are great.

What can I take back to class, well Headings for one thing and voice typing!  Who knew this was even a thing.  The explore icon is more that just a tool to insert pictures or facts, you can also add the link to the article without adding the full text. I am excited about sharing what I have learnt with my class.

How can I improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life.  Well like google drive maybe not having so many folder's open.  Merge what needs to be merged, try not to duplicate things and use quick keys.

This is my first attempt at a poster.  Still a lot of work to be done.  I am looking forward to improving this.

  1. Hi Yvette, it's great to read your first learning blog post. I absolutely agree, the best way to learn in our digital environment is to practice and give things a go, mistakes help you learn and ask a question if you are not sure. The fab DFI team will certainly help you on your journey. I look forward to learning from you in our class. Kei te pai!
