Ruapotaka School February 20, 2013




Reflections

Today's session was an opportunity to reflect on ourselves. It was a chance to look at what makes us the people who we are, how the different aspects of our lives relate to the passions in our lives, and how some of our passions can be fostered through the use of digital technologies. 

Students started to reflect, by sharing information about themselves on Google docs or presentations, and by using images to represent the different areas in their lives.

Ruapotaka School - 13 February 2013



Who are we and what are we passionate about?
  • Who am I?  
  • How many different aspects are there to my life, that make up who I am?  
  • What areas of my life am I passionate about?  
  • How can digital technologies be used to foster my passions?

In this session, we talked about different areas of our lives, what we're passionate about, and how these passions can be fostered through the use of digital technologies.   A class discussion was based around blogs, sites, social networking, and how students are using various digital technologies at the moment.
