Digital Fluency Intensive... Day # 9

Ubiquitous
Our final session began with a reminder about how important the ubiquitous learning opportunities of being able to learn Anytime, Anywhere, Any pace from Anyone are

  • Enables learning to happen outside of 9 - 3 for everyone
  • Summer drop impacts acceleration made throughout the year - this is where the SLJ has harnessed the power of digital learning to continue learning outside of school hours/year
  • Research from the SLJ is a great example ubiquitous learning


  • Technology makes a huge difference if used well and not just as a tool
  • Rewindable learning - capturing the main points that our students need to know to strengthen their learning process - students need to be able to locate and use this content at own pace - Students don’t have to learn at the pace of the fastest student in the class - allows learning to be embedded and deep connections to be made. ‘If it’s worth teaching it’s worth capturing!... If it’s worth learning it’s worth capturing!’

Today was our last DFI session. I have absolutely loved being part of this group of awesome educators and want to say a huge thank you to both Dorothy and Gerhard for empowering us both as teachers and as learners. We ended the session by sitting the Level 1 Google Certification and I passed! The Level 2 exam is my next goal.

  3. Thanks so much for committing time to participating in the whole course- which you could have written! We did appreciate all the history and experience you brought to the group and of course the current experiences you shared from your learners and class.
    Well done on passing- again. I heard you didn't get mutli choice the second time around?

    1. Thank you Dorothy. I loved the learning we did at DFI because you and Gerhard shared so many tips and tricks that will help me work smarter. It was really good to have the time to explore and ask questions too. Thank you both so much. No I didn't, second time around it went straight to scenarios. I thought I'd done something wrong because no matter where I looked I couldn't find the multi choice ones. Level 2 is definitely my next step :)
