Digital Fluency Intensive - Day 4 - Dealing with Data.

1. What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

I learned that in this kaupapa sharing is about making connections and being connected. Humans have a compulsion to share and this has been amplified, enhanced, exploited and exacerbated by the advent of social media. The abilities to create and share can be tremendous hooks for learning, especially when sharing with a purpose that helps students connect with authentic audiences who choose to listen to them.

I have also understood that Learning, Creating and Sharing are both lineal and cyclic processes.

2. What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Deep diving into Google sheets and then backing that up with a mini intensive has helped solidify my understanding and use of it.

3. What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

Definitely the MyMaps app as we identify, explore and research the histories of the awa in our area. Forms will be useful across the board but especially for gaining student voice of my own teaching practice.

4. What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

It was great to pick up the extra tips on working with Google sheets and how to present and publish the data in a number of other documents and formats.
