Session 9: External Recognition

 DFI done!

I am now a Level 1  Google Certified Educator! 

DFI has been great. A well paced,  thoroughly planned course that I have enjoyed. I was dreading 8am-3pm in front of a lap top.. However the variety, pace and usefulness of the learning really has made the time fly. It was a well timed course that I was able to use the skills that I learnt each week in my classroom and also in my daily life and workflow.

I look forward to using the skills that I have learnt in my teaching practice in the future.

Session 8: Computational Thinking

 My last blog as part of my DFI. It has been a journey that I have really enjoyed. Learnt lots of new tips and tricks and have enjoyed sharing them with my tamariki along the way. Thank you to Maria and our awesome bubble group for the support and guidance. I have enjoyed working with you all.

I have  signed up to take the google exam next week it will be a nice way to round off all our DFI learning.

Lots to think about today with computational thinking. How are we preparing our tamariki for jobs that don't exist? 

It was my first time exploring scratch. I found it both fun and frustrating! I knew what I wanted my outcome to be but actually found it quite hard to break down the steps and tell the computer what to do! As always when we are doing our create tasks I am trying to find a way in can use it with my class. I probably wont be exploring scratch with my class. However, will look into using scratch jnr with them.
