DFI Week 9

Today was the last day of my  DFI journey, what an absolute privilege it has been to be apart of this course. (Thank you Grey High and especially the English Department that allowed me one day a week for nine weeks to attend)  

Each week we broke off into smaller bubble groups and we started our day sharing what had worked well for us and also what we needed more help with going forward, my bubble buddies were Anna, Paul, Deb, Irene, Gabrielle, and our incredibly talented and very patient facilitator Vicki.  This group allowed me to learn at a pace that suited me.  I now have confidence in my ability to engage in a range of digital tools that Google suite offers.  I am so grateful for the rewindable learning that is readily available for future reference.

Vicki spoke to us about the structure of the exam and gave us a few hints - eg: the time frame for answering each question and to read each question carefully and follow the instructions ( I think I spent too much time reading the questions!) I was a bit uncomfortable sitting the exam but figured 'what have I got to lose' for me this course was learning about Google suites and how to use my chrome book more efficiently so that I can then help students.

Going forward I plan to use my new skills as often as I can and to complete my unfinished tasks from the 9-week course. I have set a goal for myself to try and blog weekly about the week that has been ( no pressure of course, as life, can often upset best-laid plans)  I also am going to look out for more courses that can help me help our amazing Grey High Students.
