Nearly two years ago I started my teaching career and was honoured to win one of ten positions in the inaugural Manaiakalani Digital Teaching Academy (MDTA). This unique opportunity saw me team teach with Michelle George last year and pilot the use of iPads in a New Entrants classroom. This year, with continued support from Michelle, my own class again using iPads and I continually seek to challenge my pedagogy in order to accelerate the learning for my students. It's been an amazing journey, a challenge at times, a huge learning curve and immensely satisfying. I've enjoyed documenting my learning journey on my blog, and look forward to continuing to do so into 2016.
Earlier this month the Evaluation of the Manaiakalani Digital Teaching Academy was published. Both the summary and the full report is available to

The selection process for the next round of MDTA is currently underway and I look forward to welcoming them into the Manaiakalani Cluster and hope they enjoy the experiences and learning journey as much as I have.
Congratulations! Isn't it satisfying to get this 'outside' perspective on our journey.
