1. What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? Heaps... got a even better understanding of how Manaiakalani was established and how the need arose. Nice backstory...
2. What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? Keep my drive organised, I do try... also need to sort my emails and delete stuff more regularly. Keep trying the new tips with google docs.
3. What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  I liked the remove background tool, I want my class to do this themselves so they can add new profile pics to their blogs.
4. What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? To keep google drive sorted at home also... maybe organise emails into better folders for accounts to pay etc.
