Kia Orana

Where to begin with my learning experience with blogging, I can honestly say that technology is like a 50% of my liking but it does have advantages and that is the process that I went through to finally get my head around blogging.


This is what I looked like by Sunday 1 May

The advantages was trying to prepare myself before blogging and I made alot of errors on the way which was trying to find where the tools were. The use of facebook helped me to find all the other students were, because I got the wrong username. This is all about learning new tools and ideas that keep us all ahead and I really like what Smorti says that technology is still growing and expect the changes and to research and reflect on what is happening around us as teachers Smorti, (1999). So my 50% has increased by 60% I noticed that in my reflection with my tamariki's at the centre, the importance of technology were in different areas of play indoor or outdoor. How important the child's learning is supported by teachers, peers and whanau a little idea becomes a learning process and the outcome. The Tuakana and Teina method of shared learning has enriched the way we plan with and alongside children, whanau and staff.

Technology is very wide and broad and as teachers we are encouraged to have skills to help our children and families as "it is the teacher's knowledge and skills about how to use the technology that makes the difference, not the technology itself" (Smorti, (1999). Now that I am very close to publishing this post, I noticed that I didn't get much comments I think it was two comments and for me I wasnt worried, I didnt have a panic attack because I believe that if people want to comment then they have the freedom too but if they don't then thats life. I know that I felt the pain of my friends worrying about not getting enough response but that is life in early childhood, all our tamariki's have different and some feel more comfortable with others and some on their own then you have the one's like me who just go with the flow. Life is too short and the last time I was in class Tamar did say that we were going to have fun and I must admit I had fun just learning a new tool and it amazed my little sister that we do blogging she finds it hard to believe but I am greatful for what I have done. Honestly if I had to reflect another weak point of mind was that I left it at the last minute, so that hasn't changed for me.
