DFI Week 8

Over the past 8 weeks I have been fortunate enough to participate in the DFI learning.  I have found this learning to be very intense and to be honest have struggled with some of the aspects of this learning kaupapa.

However, I certainly appreciate the level of accessibility that the Manaiakalani kaupapa gives our whanau.  Digital learning is not just another learning tool.  There is so much more to our digital learning than just searching for things on the internet.

The Manaiakalani has enabled us to be more engaged with our tamariki and their learning.  I love being a very small part of Empowering journey.  

USE IT OR LOSE IT -

I have been able to feast on so many digital delights for our learning.  I am sure my brain capacity has been flooded and there is no more room at the Inn.  Add to this the lack of time that I have to practice what I have learnt and then the speed at which each week rolls into the next! Whew.

The Future

Technology has advanced so much and changes are rapidly happening.  Maybe the Jetson's Tec is not far away.. Who knows

Lets see if this works.  Very first attempt at making a game.  My boys will not be impressed at all.

While I have seen the kids at school whip up a Scratch with ease I have got loads to learn.  I am going to enlist the help of my 11 year old to help with this.  I can see the amount of fun the kids, big and small can help and I am looking forward to not being such a scardy-scratch and just letting my imagination run wild.

Not looking forward to the exam!

One more week to go, one more week to review 8 weeks of work!
