Manaiakalani - Empowered
Empowering learners and educators
I was challenged by Dorothy discussing that a digital device is not just a tool. I have often said, "digital technologies are just another tool my students are able to use to support their learning" and to an extent I do believe that in my NE class an iPad is another tool much like their writing book or their pencils. But Dorothy's presentation has made me rethink my thinking regarding devices and empowerment of our whanau and learners.

My Scratch attempt
Kia ora Donna, I am glad you had to re-think the referencing digital technology as a tool too. I had also referred to DT as a tool. Isn't it interesting how language and use of words change in specific situations. I found the scratch task both interesting and frustrating at the same time. I know our tamariki in the class I work in love it.
