What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Today we focused on Connecting - the importance for teachers, learners and the community to connect authentically and purposefully. Live Streaming is a way for schools to do this. It enables schools to share children's experiences, learning and children can upload to their blogs to share with others.
Dorothy enforced the obviously connecting face to face is most important but where this is not possible or as another vehicle to share and connect then digital technology allows for this. As a working mother, digital technology has allowed me to participate and share more in my children's school experiences which I'm grateful for.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

- Further develop my Google site

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I created my first buttons for each of my Reading Groups on the google site, created links from the buttons for the first time, and learned how to create links from Google Slides to others so children can create a PICK a PATH story. Used download as a Png, to create the buttons.
