DFI: Workflow

We started off the day with a presentation from Anne Sinclair about Learn.  Anne is a fantastic presenter, sharing her years of experience and passion for learning this was an inspiring listen.  What I really liked about Anne's presentation was her reminder to everyone that Learn can and does look different in every school. 
For me this is a crucial element to the success of the Manaiakalani programme and gives school's the ability to make Learn, Create, Share their own, representing their community and learners.  This image below (from Manaiakalani's Learn presentation) shows a snapshot of some the many different styles and learning programmes within Manaiakalani's schools. 

Some of the ideas shared in our group discussion about Learn today included;

• Learning as a teacher and ensuring our learners learn. Learn together!
• Purposeful and engaging. Encourages and fosters student curiosity
• Students, teachers and whanau as  learners and teachers
• Ako is learning, growing, and persevering through the unknown; new topics, experiences, and opportunities
• Relationships and exciting learning experiences based on their interests

It was a really purposeful day and I hope that our cohort felt they had plenty to go away with particularly in terms of organising their school workflow.  The more we are learning online, the more crucial it is to feel confident navigating in a digital environment, whether that's administrative work or developing resources for learners it needs to be streamlined and effortless.
