DFI : Week 8 Computational Thinking

Defining the difference between digital fluency and digital technologies: was really useful. Digital fluency - being able to decide when and where to use specific digital technologies to complete atask or solve a problem.is very different than digital technology as tht meant havingthe skill set to create their own. rather tahnn following a code ...building it This week taking the time together to reflect on where our own individual schools are at with the implementation of the digral curriculum and to discuss what it looks like in different spaces for different ages was great. To explore examples.

I enjoyed having a wee play. The coding format in the Mihi maker was very user friendly. Unfortunately I cant find it agin this must mean I didn't save it properly, so sorry I can't share what I had created so far. As a group we found this app for sharing our Mihi a liitle bit template based and reflected that perhaps it would not contain the flexibility that we utilise when we are creaating our Mihi's as teachers and for our students. Although it did not show 'blanks' if you didnt have enough information to fill it all in. I will investigate the ,Gamefroot Site' again on the advice of a DFI buddy that 'Blank Games' option if selected really appeals to the students as they are creating their own. The Tutorials provided with the site are very detailed and useful.
