DFI Session Nine- Revision

A deep sigh of relief as I am writing this now that I have finished the Google Educator Exam. 

The Manaiakalani kaupapa word we covered this week was ubiquitous. Ubiquitous ensures that barriers are 'removed so therefore the learning takes places outside of the traditional school/classroom in the digital era. There are many benefits to this. Providing the time students are able to access learning at anytime of the day or night- this therefore achieves the goal of empowering learners also. You are providing a diverse audience, your work that you post is available anywhere in world and is no longer restricted to your book that sits in the book box. 

I suddenly had a flashback of sitting in Campion College sitting down to sit Level 3 exams and I can't say that it was a great feeling. It's funny to think that I had forgotten the feeling but in the moment that I was starting to log in it came all flooding back. Once the exam started the feeling subsided to a feeling of panic as that timer begun to count down. Some of the multi choice I struggled with- thanks goodness for the 'review" button! A part of gmail I hadn't covered was the 'tasks' bar which meant a quick google search was needed! Once discovering where it was and answered the questions I thought it would be quite a handy tool to be using. I finished the exam with about 30 minutes to spare and took a sigh of relief once I was done. 


As I sum up this last blog post I have to express the gratitude I feel for being able to come along to these fantastic DFI. Thanks to Josie I discovered the google album from our last 9 weeks if you are wanting to have a nosey check them out here. Many laughs and a great way to spend our Fridays. Thanks to everyone in the Gisborne DFI Cohort 2, I had a blast! Thanks to Cheryl and Maria along with our visitors throughout the DFI, for the wealth of knowledge you have shared with us.
