DFI Reflection 28 May 2019 
CREATE in the Manaiakalani Programme
What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
I realise that I needed to go back and look at how we learning, sharing and creating and just how visible is our goals and outcomes with our students and whanau.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
I am contributing more to the slides being used by the team, linking in plans, templates and student tasks.
Going onto our Tawhirmatea site and putting in subpages for my areas to make it easier to access for myself and others.
Goals:
* Start on site for my learners
* Design homepage layout  (put in home button)
* Organise page structure
* Include my planning - taking assessment out

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I see the importance of the children knowing what we do, why and how. Provide this information for the students in the form of learning outcomes, WALTS in small clear steps. Provide wall charts, doc where the students can access this information as and when they need it.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
A big thank you to Mark, Dorothy and Danny for making it so easy to ask questions and find answers problems. I have enjoyed the learn, create, share model being used with us and can see the value in it for our team and students. Over time I can see how this will influence how we share and making connections with our families I love the learning and feel a lot clearer on where I am going. I am suddenly excited about making my own site to share.
Notes

REFLECTION  of 4th Week 
1) What has worked for me since the last time we met? Started making multi modal page for my reading group. Blogging with my students more and using learn, create and share to explain what we are doing in our programme. Slowly building my children’s learning site.
2) What hasn’t worked (or made sense)? The more we use it the more I see the need for 1 to 1 chromebooks. I have obtained an extra 5 ipads which now gives us 11 so frees up some chromebooks.
3) What do you need help with?  Embedding - need to re go over it I had problems with embedding google slide - went massive, Student and I looked at each other and close the chromebook. Will need to have another go at forcing the person to make a copy.
