DFI - Day 7. Devices.

 Today we started off talking about how far we had come since lockdown, what we were proud of, what we regretted, and what have we brought into our teaching since. I have to say I am most proud of the fact I even taught from home. I really didn't have much clue prior to lockdown. I had many patient and wise colleagues. I'm not willing to call it a regret, but I would do things differently. Less is more type thing. Using my class site more has definitely come out as a positive from lockdown, but of course there is a long way to go on that front.  

From a professional point of view, learning to use Hapara Workspace was my highlight. Having the opportunity to explore these different tools is an absolute positive on DFI. While I had to become familiar with Screen Castify during lockdown last year, and Explain Everything isn't a tool I would use, Hapara Workspace definitely has untapped potential for me.

So what would I take out from today that I will use with my learners? Hapara workspace, the blogging tips were really useful - and something I want to focus on this week. Phil's timing of his hot tips was very fortunate for me regarding adding the blogs down the side - as I had just heard from my Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu paired teacher, who discovered she couldn't see my student blogs. I did last night put them on the class site, but not onto the class blog. The class blog really needs my attention this week.
