DFI Day 4

-Agenda

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

Today Dorothy spoke about "Share" , connected learners' , we need connections and it is great to get responses. In 2005 Youtube started. It meant instant sharing via Bebo etc. It was public and in real-time.

The schools wanted to look at how the could share - assembly, Yearbook. Manaiakalani wants to continue with the things we do but let digital technologies enhance the project, eg. college yearbook is printed and photos added etc.

The digital age has changed the audience - become a global audience.

Sharing with purpose -for an audience. When I went to school I wrote for my teacher alone. Now students share globally. My teacher was a compulsory audience.

Globally, people who choose to look at your work etc, are an "authentic audience".

Manaiakalani chose " Blogger" as their main online space to share. Students were/are taught how to use"Blogger", not their own "personal" space.

Blogger is a tool for teaching students about being " cybersmart"

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

The multimodal format for students will grab their attention and give them choices for the work they could do. Also, a class site will be useful.
