• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa today - specifically empowerment?

That we live a world where we can use the digital device to give our whanau more opportunity to be empowered. Prepare our students for a world where we do not know what the jobs may look like but know they will require creativity and an ability to use tools that will unleash the creativity.

A better understanding of the digital curriculum. I really like the thinking behind it as it is about creating.

Scratch is way better than what it used to be. I also want to focus on green screen as another tool for the students to use. There are so many ways that this could be used especially enhancing movies

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
