DFI #7 Devices

He Wānanga Matatau Matihiko (DFI: Digital Fluency Intensive)

Toku reo toku ohooho, toku reo, toku mapihi maurea
 My language is my awakening, my language is the window to my soul
 It sets my day up well starting with karakia, its a sense of meaning and connection to everyone. It helps me to get into the right mindset and settle down. He mihi tēnei ki te kaikarakia.
Worked on a Chromebook, initially, students gave me a crash course on it before this session. They thought I was having them on but it soon became apparent they were the experts and they turned into hard taskmasters. Role reversals experiencing what it is like for students working on Chromebooks and IPads.By the time this session started, I was more confident in my new skills on a Chromebook and keen to build on from this, learned some keyboard shortcuts.
CYBER SMART
The origin of this word comes from Australia. Learning outcomes can be the same but how you deliver it to students differs according to abilities.
Engage and empower students to be active confident participants in the digital world. ubiquitous-anywhere, anytime, anyplace, anyone
Make digital citizenship about the do's not the dont's. Teach kids what it means to be good cyber friends Can practice the do's and the digital competencies.
Deliberate teaching for:
Te tū atamai ngā ākonga-Smart Learners become cyber smart, 
Te tū atamai ngā tapuwae-Smart Footprints-create a positive digital footprint using blogs as a safe manageable and authentic way
Te tū atamai ngā whakapiringa-Smart relationships, be respectful, be kind online, write quality blogs, seeking help
Te tū atamai ngā whānau-Smart whānau:supporting family and whanau in partnership with the community. How do they connect with their child's learning?

Purposeful, designed lessons to be delivered. Teachers to be confident with the language. It takes practice to become confident in modeling & using cyber language. Look for opportunities for students to be cyber smart.  We want our students to be better equipped to understand and manage key online safety issues, create safe spaces for themselves and others, to have respectful online behavior, and know when and how to seek help.
There are lots of  cybersmart resources available to us on the Manaiakalani site to help us "prepare and empower our learners to manage in an online world
