GCSN x Digital Learning PLD
The Launch into 2023 - Chrome Creativity PLD session facilitated by Emma Planicka from Digital Learning PLD was a success with local kaiako joining Emma to learn all about getting creative with Google Apps. From Emma:
"Launch into 2023 - Chrome Creativity, kicked off setting kaiako up for success, building engagement, creativity and getting their Google on!
Kaiako came away with loads of useful resources and learning to integrate into their teaching and learning programmes straight away. Spreading the love, on what happened to be Valentine's Day, kaiako got stuck in with hands on mahi, developing their confidence and applying professional learning to their own contexts, to best meet the needs for their learners. Building Whanaungatanga through create apps, it was amazing to see kaiako supporting one another, sharing ideas and reflecting on next steps together. Kaiako came away with tips, tricks, ideas and resources to fill their kete to the brim!
We are super excited to see the impact of this professional learning opportunity and the engaging learning happening across Ōtautahi kura, to kick off 2023!"
