What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Today's session has definitely helped me feel more at ease for our exam next week (eeeek!). For the last session I chose to do the Scratch 10 Block Challenge with Jeremy. I would have preferred to join the Scratch Jnr but, I didn't have my iPad with me! (Sorry Kelsey!). However, it was very beneficial but also very much an activity that is trail and error.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I got very caught up in one of the coding games earlier in the day. Kodable I think it was called. It had many fuzzy characters and it was super fun - I felt like a kid again! This is something that my Year 3's could use. I will try get Scratch Jnr on the iPads so the students cane have a go at that too.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Once again, everything I have learnt over the course of these 8 weeks has extended my knowledge of everything Google. This has built my confidence in not only my work but my personal life too. Especially being a beginning teacher and getting assigned head of technology I was concerned I didn't have enough knowledge. However, now is a different story! Big thank you to you, Kelsey, for helping!

Kia ora Savanna,
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome. I will think about the scratch jr and maybe do an online toolkit on it next term... will update you if I end up deciding on that. Otherwise will be explain everything on the ipad anyway.
Awesome to hear that you are going to try this with you kids. Coding is so much fun!
