Digital Fluency Intensive-Day 2.

There was a lot to learn again in Day 2. I realise that I have made a number of gains in locating the tools needed for tasks and in my general work that I engage with throughout the week. It has been good to work alongside other colleagues in our digital groups and to progress our learning via our sharing. The information shared in the presentations and workshops has been really informative and again its good to see what is available so that we can choose to engage with new resource or tools in our daily lives. Working through the tasks and learning in our digital groups our school has realised that we do not have access or permissions enabled to a number of tools. We have worked at getting these permissions opened for our staff and school to access. I found the pace and information shared in Day 2 easier to follow as opposed to the first DFI Day 1 when everything was very new.

Talofa lava. I had an awakening during my first Digital Fluency Intensive day last Wednesday. I got to realise, quickly, how much I don't know. It was good to learn about the history of Manaiakalani and be among people who obviously knew a lot more than I did. I can only hope that with some work I will also be able to be as digitally fluent as these people also. I will also need to work on my knowledge of where everything is in order to make the most of the digital tools we are engaged with. I am enjoying learning alongside my colleagues and being a learner in this space as opposed to a leader when required. As I gain more knowledge I will be able to apply this to my work and hopefully be able to grow in what I can do and what I know. The future is exciting!
