Welcome to the 2019 Northland Digital Fluency Intensive (DFI), providing purposeful professional learning for educators in our wider community of learning. This is the first of three possible cohorts for the year. The DFI is a nine week course, designed to build (and increase) confidence and digital fluency in educators within Manaiakalani and Outreach schools.

Participants range from classroom teachers to principals, primary to secondary, and more.

Prior experience in the digital world ranges from participants who have never owned a personal digital device through to people who could be teaching this course. Educator experience ranges from first year teachers to 40+ years of teaching! The eclectic mix in the group adds greatly to the richness and learning experiences.

The nine days cover a wide range of digital tools and apps and each day is a prerequisite to the next i.e. the course is designed to build knowledge progressively.

This course will give you the opportunity to join a professional learning group to learn together, following a programme designed to meet our four key goals;

Our teachers are supported to acquire fluency using the basic tools our young people use for learning
Our teachers are supported to acquire fluency using the basic tools required for effective teaching, planning, assessment and professional learning
Our teachers are supported to understand how digital technologies used effectively can have a significant impact on accelerating achievement outcomes
Our teachers are supported to understand how the Manaiakalani pedagogy and kaupapa has been co-constructed over more than a decade to maximise the impact of effective teaching and learning in a digital learning environment.
