DFI W1


  • What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
A review of the background reinforced my understanding the specific achievements that have been achieved and began to inform of of how these have been made.
  • What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
A couple of the practical ideas eg using voice to text as a reading and writing tool are things that I have not considered using, and caused me to think more carefully about why I haven,t been using these.
  • What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  
As above.
  • What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
I am hopeful that using voice to text will be a small thing that will reduce my workload and also my confidence that I am being effective.

  1. Thanks for joining the group and for your feedback here on the day. From reading your post Voice Typing was a tool that resonated with you and you are able to see opportunities to support the learners in your context.
    Please share in future posts how this is working out for you; how you plan and teach to make it happen and other ideas you will no doubt have along the way to make use of this assistive tool.

    Best wishes for the weeks ahead.

  2. Kia ora Andrew,
    I really enjoy using voice typing and find it very powerful for those students who struggle with writing and spelling. Students can have a go at spelling a word then use voice typing to check how close their spelling was or they can just voice type to get their ideas down.
    Nga mihi,
    Mark

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
Encourage me to make another post
