DFI - Reflection 3

 27/1/25

When looking at the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy today I learnt that it is super important to plan it otherwise you wont do it.  I also loved the quote -  If the hands are involved, the head really gets going. 

For me it is just practice and using the slides (rewindable learning) to keep having a go.  I'm someone who needs to look back at instructions or videos in order to understand well.  The tools we've been told about or taught today are awesome.  I can't wait to work out how to incorporate them into my planning.

I already record my voice on slides using mote in order to create rewindable learning, however I think incorporating the animation, having the kids record their learning even just showing them holding their maths work and explaining it would be awesome.  I am nervous as I have some children with high needs.

Regarding the question "what did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?" I think using things like playlists on YouTube etc will be a great way to simplify things that I show or let my children listen to at home e.g. audiostories, cartoons etc.


Below is my animation that I made on slides.


Below is my image for my blog.  Not sure if I like it yet...so a work in progress.  I've also attached one that i'll put on our class blog.

  1. Kia ora Vickie,

    That is such a great quote isn't it and so true! If the hands are involved, we are definitely learning! I was going to say this is so true for students, but I actually think it is true for everyone!

    I love your animation! Great use of creativity. I am sure it is also something your students would love to learn to create.

    With regards to the students sharing their work, I'd take it at a pace that works for the students. It might be a small group to start off with and those with high needs could always be paired with a student who is more confident? You don't want to make more work for yourself or have some very stressed little humans on your hands!

    Rewindable learning is so great that you can just go back and take a look at something a second, or even a third time!

    Have a great term 1, and look forward to seeing you in our next day in the holidays.

  2. Hi Vickie,
    Thank you for sharing. It is awesome you are engaging in DFI on your own time. I am sure you will get a lot out of this as I did when I participated in it last year.
    Loved your animation. Pleased you didn't forget your bag.
