Today we looked at what this word means and what it means for our learners.
The ability to be able to learn where ever we may be removes the barriers to learning.
We talked about learners who are sick, need homework and can not be in the classroom- the manaiakalani pedagogy removes the barriers to learning by making the learning rewindable and ubitquitous.
Then we dedicated three (yes 3) LOOOONNNNNNGGGGG hours of our lives to becoming Google Certified Educator Level 1.
We did it and now its over. There was some crazy talk going on about doing the level 2 exam..... maybe after a couple of weeks we will be ready to go again.
Its been a cool 8 weeks spent with some passionate, amazing and hardcase educators. A little worried about sending my son to an unnamed boys school in Gisborne after hearing some of the stories (hehehe) but I know that where ever my kids choose to go to school, we have some awesome, forward thinking, future focussed teachers here in Tairawhiti.
Where too next- well I guess I would like to refine and continue to grow the learning that has taken place in the last 8 weeks. Continue to try new ideas and turbocharge the learning in my class.
Have a good last week for the term and enjoy the break. You all deserve it.
