Very challenging but also very stimulating. Learnt many new skills but also reminded of our core business in classrooms - to engage, enthuse and empower our students to new learnings and understandings that will equip them for their futures

13/9

My unit plan is developing well. I am transcribing a current plan onto the new format, incorporating 21st.C Skills and several new technology tools. The unit objectives are not new, but the assistive technology teaching tools connect and engage better with, digital age students. I am on a steep learning curve and realise that I need to practice and rehearse these new tools regularly.

14/9 It's been so informative. I began with limited tech. knowledge and experience. I have gained not just new knowledge, but new self-belief and confidence to take myself beyond my safe pedagogical boundaries and begin to more regularly utilise the new 'literacy' tools of the 21st. century. I know my students will benefit from my time here. I hope I can do the program some measure of justice when I share sections of it with my staff.
