Our last day of DFI

Just completed our Google for Education Certification Exam Yay!! It was good to see that all the things we have been learning about I could use my knowledge of these to pass this exam. I now have a level 1 certificate in google educator.

Today we also briefly looked through google classroom and how it can be used. I thought it was useful to learn about another aspect around google but I probably wouldn't use google classrooms as it is not as user friendly as sites and you cannot customize it as much as google sites.

Today was also a chance to look into the slide about ubiquitous learning. When learning is rewindable and can be accessible anywhere, anytime.
My knowledge around the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy has definitely changed my teaching practice. I now believe I am using digital devices and applications more successfully to aide in my teaching and have become more aware about what I am using in my teaching and why instead of just using it for the sake of it.
I have thoroughly enjoyed coming to learn more about digital fluency and feel that my classroom will benefit hugely one thing at a time.

  1. I agree that Google Sites is far more customisable and easier to use, although Google Classrooms does look like it could be quite useful. Congratulations on passing the exam!
