Create a blog post where you reflect on your personal 32 week learning journey through the whole postgraduate programme. Identify and evaluate your most significant learning outcomes and outline your future goals by mirroring them against the Registered Teacher Criteria in e-learning area. End your blog post by sharing your future dreams of your professional practice.
Criteria 1: Establish and maintain effective professional relationships focused on the learning and well-being of all Äkonga.
Throughout the last 32 weeks I have been able to utilise digital tools to learn more about the learners that I teach. Through surveys, and working towards the development of the PB4L app with Lou Reddy, I was able to identify what students feel is important to them, and gain a better understanding of their first worlds. I have also had the opportunity to implement and trial elements of gamification in teaching pro-social online behaviour.

Criteria 7: Promote a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive learning environment.
Having the opportunity to work collaboratively on tasks and assignments enable me to see how I can provide a more collaborative learning experience in my classroom. Through the digital and collaborative learning in context paper, I was able to gain insight and knowledge in how to frame learning in a way that provided students with opportunities to work in a collaborative manner to solve problems. Throughout the APC Paper I was exposed and challenged in how I provide a culturally inclusive learning environment that aligns with the Treaty of Waitangi.

Criteria 4: Demonstrate commitment to ongoing professional learning and development of professional personal practice.
Throughout the last 32 weeks I have been bombarded by new concepts, methods, and information. This course has helped me continue to develop as a lifelong learner and a 21st century educator. I feel confident in pursuing my own evidence and researched based inquiries in order to inform my teaching practice. I have a greater understanding of the "Bigger picture" of the education and feel as though I am more informed of the context that I am teaching in. As opposed to being solely focused on what is happening in my classroom.

Criteria 5: Show leadership that contributes to effective teaching and learning.
During this year I have been able to take on a leadership role in the management and development of digital learning and teaching within our school. I have been involved in implementing blogging and the Learn Create Share model school wide, and helping teachers engage with digital learning in a positive and meaningful manner. The Mind Lab course has helped me define and recognise my leadership style and abilities, and challenged me to take what I have learned and put it into practice.

Future dreams of my professional practice.
- I hope to play a part in rolling out 1:1 device classrooms school wide
- My big dream is to fully develop the PB4L app that I have help plan and test, and to see it in action helping students engage in teaching pro-social behaviour to one another.
- Help foster a robust blogging culture school wide where both students and teachers embrace the Learn Create Share model in their learning journeys.
I sincerely thank the Mindlab team for providing the opportunity to stretch myself, and giving me the opportunity to immerse myself in a learning journey that has been an exciting ride.
