Priority needs to be given to keep the digital learning at the forefront to ensure I don't forget these pieces of gold I have learnt. The on-going blog will be really helpful for me to refresh. Great to have met some new colleagues to be able to shoulder tap to remind me too!
Really like the idea of a "slam dunk" session. Staff record a screen castify and share for 1-2 minutes at each staff meeting of what they are doing, how it is going and next steps.
Ubiquitous learning was a really good reminder. This concept of accessing learning anytime, anywhere to help learning is paramount. The summer learning journey is a great option for our whanau to access. They would love this option for their tamariki.

Exam day today
What a great chance to be in a student position by sitting an exam. Let's just say it has been a huge learning curve as it has been some time since I have sat an exam! Great to be reminded of the stress!
Summary
Overall have really enjoyed my DFI time. It has been great getting out of the school and having a look around at other schools, other practice and pedagogy. Really nice to tour around different schools and see their spaces too.
It is always great to model being a learner and I have enjoyed challenging my thinking and my knowledge. Digital is the way forward and to be more stream lined and effective in my work flow is essential. It has also given me a great deal of confidence to try new things and experiment a bit too. A huge thanks to Venessa Davan and Kerry Boyde-Preece. They do a wonderful job and challenging, supporting and enabling!
The focus for me is to continue to keep practicing, using rewindable learning, Screen castify etc, will be great to re-visit my learning.
