What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Today I think I grasped the central importance of creativity to the LCS philosophy.
I had been curious to see how his would be prioritized. Rather than the old
School 'knowledge transfer model or teach to the test'... there is no test and its all about
learning NOT the teaching. With the child at the centre; their creativity is therefore
diving their learning. The symbiotic relationship between learning and creating seems vital
in this approach. This is the approach I am very enthusiastic about in my own practice.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
The youtube live streaming 'deep dive' was over my head... but very intriguing.
The youtube 'Channels' and 'Playlists' is of genuine assistance to my practice.
Also I found the Slides and Draw work very helpful. These are the 2 areas where I almost
knew as much as the least knowledgeable person in the room knew.. and that felt pretty
good.

Playlists, Slides and Draw are all useful in my work

DFI day 1

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  The 3 most useful student relevant tips I gain have been groups, groups and groups.  Also I really like the idea of 'rolling' Docs that are added too.... just like a 'real' book.
