Becoming a Hapara Certified Champion has been a goal of mine for a while. In fact I started the course last year but sadly could not complete it due to other commitments.
This time around I was determined to do my best and show what I know about Hapara while hopefully learning some new tips and tricks along the way.
I found the course very good and learned a lot of cool tips and trick while reminding myself about the power of this platform for support student learning and increasing visibility for teaching and learning in the classroom.
I found it interesting learning more about workspaces as these are something used more at often in Manaiakalani high schools. Create my own workspace was a lot of fun and made we think about elements I could be adding my own site design.
Awesome Clarelle! I did this course during the last lockdown and I loved it. Like you I learnt a lot of tips and tricks, and totally agree Randy is an amazing coach/mentor. I found it interesting that as someone who has been using Hapara for a number of years, there was so much I hadn't actually connected with. What changes to the way you use Hapara do you see yourself now implementing? Congratulations on becoming a Hapara Champion Educator!

Hi Robyn,
DeleteYes lockdown created good opportunity to do this course didn't it. I think what I will be implementing most is more regular use of dashboard to teach filing of projects. I love highlights and used it a lot when I had a Chromebook class but sadly it doesn't work the same on iPads and so I use a different app to see iPad screen. I also found workspaces interesting and wondered what elements of the well structured layout of a workspace I could bring to my class sites.
Thanks for your comment.
