What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

I am thinking critically about blogging for students. I understand the benefits; being constructive feedback, feed forward and sharing to a wider audience.
I am aware of whanau concerns with privacy and a lack of understanding of the importance of blogging. I think as a staff we need to have a very clear understanding of how blogging will enhance our students learning so we can best educate our communities' understanding of the Manaiakalani kaupapa that we are investing in.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Things to remember with Hapara:
-filter and focused searching times
-using it to check blog posts/comments
I will be encouraging our Junior teachers to look into Explain Everything and hope that Professional Development will become available to them so they can utilise this great app in their classrooms.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  
I will try to remember to use the Cyber smart curriculum resources which are available to use and modify in my classroom. I will use my presentation below with staff to assist them as an introduction to professional blogging.

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

I will be exploring Explain everything with own children at home.

Here is my slide presentation that I will share with staff to get them started on their professional blogs.
