• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? I learned that the kaupapa around manaiakalani is about moving forward. Learning, sharing and creating. I especially made connections with the aspect of sharing as a way to be inspirational for others. This was also highlighted by the big idea around achievement where Dorothy describes achievement being a possibility for everyone making education equitable no matter where you come from. The bigger picture is about serving everyone (He aha i te mea nui? he tangata, he tangata, he tangata o te ao). The use of devices to engage, our learners to audiences is not just the tacher but to everyone. The idea around hope encourages transformation at the highest level too. The possibility that every person has the potential to be successful. The origins of manaiakalani remind me of leadership and that everyone person has had in creating it are actually role models for communities where everyone is a Rangatira. That I believe is where we as kaiako and our akonga have the potential for greatness.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? I learned to ask questions when I was unsure. As others for help. I liked be able to discover and use the various tools available on my lap top. Organising my drive to be more manageable, more accessible. I definitely need to practice the skills I learned today.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners? I learned that my akonga can organise their ideas and information in a variety of ways. Also the tools available provide opportunities for my lower ability learners especially when conferencing with them. Reading their writing back to check it makes sense.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? Be more organised and time management. Set time aside to set up better learning opportunities for my akonga.
