Today, we spent our Teacher Only Day at this fantastic Digiverse Day, hosted by Bader Intermediate and attended by 4 local schools - Bader Intermediate, Mangere Central School, Nga Iwi Primary and our very own Jean Batten School.
The main aim of the day was to provide a
smorgasbord of ‘taster’ digital workshops for all teachers to explore and have some
hands-on experience with new technology or to learn more about technology we are already using. It was also a day for teachers to participate in professional development
and build networks with like-minded local teachers.
Part of my teaching appraisal goal for this year is based around student having agency with Digital Technology, so this was a perfect way for me to explore ways to engage the students with technology and also learn with new technologies and equipment. I came away with some great ideas and also feel be equipped towards my appraisal goal.
I had a blast and enjoyed the learning and networking and I have lots of new lots material I can use in my classroom.
I just can't wait for the next one......
