I actually really enjoyed it and found it not as hard as I thought.
Now I can put the badge on my blog to share with everyone that I am now a Google Certified Educator of Level 1.
We started off with the link to Manaiakalani as always.
Manaiakalani
The idea was Ubiquitous.

Learners have the potential to be experiencing high quality learning experiences right now.
This became so important recently during the lock down as children where having to learn at home. It highlighted the importance of rewindable learning and being able to continue learning outside of school and school hours.
I was interested in learning more about the summer learning journey. It is something the we looked at during a staff meeting but now knowing why it was created has given me inspiration to get my children on to this!
Some question we were asked to reflect on are:
What are you proud of?
During the lock down I spent a lot of time working on creating a class site. I was very proud of what I created and very thankful to the staff members at school that supported me through this process. I am now proud of the fact that I have all this new knowledge that I can take to starting my 1-1 digital journey with a new class next term. I can not wait to get started.
What do you regret?
This is a hard question as I do not usually think of regrets and treat everything in live as a challenge and it all happens for a reason. If there was one thing it would have to be worrying about the google exam. I put a lot of pressure on myself thinking it was going to be hard when it was actually more of a learning opportunity.
What will you be taking forward in the 'new' era of schooling?
I will be using all the learning about Manaiakalani to my new 1-1 digital class. Having the background knowledge makes it easy to see the purpose.
Using rewindable learning will be key and making sure everything is always visible.
I will also continue with my own blogging as I have found it a great way to put my thoughts in order and will be able to go back to these posts and refresh my memories.
To conclude I am feeling pretty proud of myself for passing the google exam and also completing the DFI course!
Can not wait for next term and my 1-1 digital journey to begin!
