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

  • The importance of SHARE - how powerful it is for students to share their learning to their teachers and others so they can be recognised/celebrated.

  • Sharing to an authentic audience.

  • Face to face sharing vs. through a screen - missing the human connection/one-to-one

  • Social media being the only platform where you can share with people you haven't met from all over the world.

  • Important thought - how can we teach our students to be digital citizens who share positively and securely online.

  • Blogger platform is teaching our learners to be cyber smart.

  • Hard to teach students how to be digital citizens if they aren't engaging in it

  • Share - a way in which we can show that I have finished a piece of learning work.

  • Learning to finish and complete something is a life skill.

  • Acknowledge the power of sharing is the starting place of new learning.
