Today was the first time I had ever sat a digital exam in the form of the Google Educator Level 1 Certificate. I was rather apprehensive at first and it took me a while to get into the flow of thinking. The multi-choice was rather deceptive so you had to read the questions well. I'm always telling my students that! Yeah - I managed to achieve this exam - it was a test of skills and the application of these skills that we covered during the DFI course.
Things to talk with our technician at school is to ask about the incognito window access - it is seems to be blocked for our school.
The opportunity of attending this DFI was a privilege and I found it very useful to have the time and be able to put into practise new concepts. The Manaiakalani pedagogy brings together many aspects of good practice with the learner always at the centre. I feel MK brings this all together - recognising what I need to improve and build on in my teaching. I enjoyed the time to explore different apps and look forward to using them next year. The delivery and support by the DFI facilitators has been amazing and I have a new confidence in developing digital resources to enhance my teaching. Thanks to you all.
Congratulations on your exam result Marian! Like you I found some of those multi-choice items to be a little deceptive (even if you had read them closely). I agree with you that this has been such a huge privilege and I have especially appreciated the time to 'play' and try things out with our coaches there to catch us when we mess up! All the very best for 2022 - I will certainly look you up for a catch up when I'm on my observation travels next year. Nga mihi!
