Wednesday 20th March was my first day of DFi - Digital Fluency intensive and yes, the words say it all.
At the end of the session, I wrote a very wordy reflection for this blog and then I wondered who would want to read a lengthy recital of my day.
During the past week, I have thought about everything from the day. One of the most empowering messages I took was the presentation model about the session types. It made me think that maybe all PL and even my own teaching pedagogy should be modelled on this. I was also impressed at the timing of the segments for each part of the day and how these times were strictly adhered to. An idea for our upcoming parent-teacher meetings!
Other things I have practised from this day have included setting up a google group for a class (which is already in a google group!). However, practice never hurts and they haven't yet accepted my invitation so at the moment I am the sole member. I am keen to make this a collaborative group which would be beneficial to the student members who when they accept will be in this group.
The best idea I took away from last week was to set up a wine and chocolate club at school.
I planted the seed for this idea (which I think is an outstanding idea) on Monday morning at our start of the school week briefing.
Here are the images from the slide I shared - and if you want to know what on earth this is about then come back and read my next blog! The key question was "what sort of wine" my reply "cheap".

Well done on taking so much in on your first day Adrienne. I love the sound of your wine and chocolate club to share the idea, I may have to come along myself!! Google groups are certainly a great way of keeping things together in a group, so I hope they accept their invitations soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree Nicola- the wine and chocolate club sounds great.
DeleteQuick Google Groups tips:
Consider not inviting people to the Group. There is an option on the next line down in settings to directly add them. You may recall I did this when adding YOU to the DFI group.
Also, be very careful creating groups for learners. If they get confused by having Hapara groups PLUS your groups you could end up having them delete groups and removing themselves from Hapara Teacher Dashboard.
I would use Groups with Adults more and leave Hapara to manage the kids.
