Getting Intense with Google


We kicked off out Term 3 Digital Fluency Intensive (DFI) today. We have more than 50 participants online with 10 coaches for support in small digital bubbles.

The course is definitely intensive and so much learning happens over the nine sessions. It is always great to start with a new cohort and to see where people are at and then where they get to over the DFI.

I'm excited to be working with Principals and Deputy Principals in a bubble for this DFI. We have started with the Core Business; some foundational learning to get us started. As school leaders there is the added layer of leading the learning as well as learning the content.



We use the Learn, Create, Share pedagogy throughout the DFI. We are using the same tools as the learners so the big people are blogging.

Reflections on the Magic
