Critically reflecting on my learning journey
I can do it, as a more mature person I have often thought it was beyond my capabilities therefore I can not let the students do it as I can't, BUT yes, to both. Having that growth mind set, letting go of the reigns. Letting the students take ownership and together we can guide the learning. Often when it doesn't work, then I can step in to find out why, what we have to change within our networking etc to make it happen.
I feel as well, that although students are "digital natives" or confident with technology they are not always much further ahead than myself. At times they still need direction.

Criteria 4: Demonstrate commitment to ongoing professional learning and development of personal progressional practice. The discussions we have had the colleagues that have also been on this journey have been mind blowing, the support, ideas and practice changes have been a motivation for ourselves and others within our staff. ii) taking a more active role in the learning opportunities, being prepared to give evidence, ideas of what has and hasn't worked. Ask others how they are changing or improving on certain areas. I had a person in my department tell others that he was afraid to open my emails now because it would probably include some new or different technological idea for him to have a go at. To me it has been more than that. Some parts I found I still didn't have the skills to work towards eg the robots or coding. (Could not relate to my classes, as yet.) But small steps, the idea of engaging the students, keeps coming up, changing things around eg instead of homework sheet for classifying, I now use either kahoots or last 8 minutes pack the class up early and pen to paper quiz, hand in as you leave.
Criteria 5: Show leadership that contirubtes to effective teaching and learning. Actively contribute to the professional learning community. Undertake areas of responsibility effectively. Both of these I have continued to approach with a positive, lead by example and don't be afraid it not quite right, with critical reflections after we are able to change or reshape what we are doing going forward. Using student voice as well to see what has worked with pedagogical developments and better ways to present both our curriculum and the key compenancies. To the stage of increasing the overall usage of chrome book and ipads within the department that we are now requesting more. And the good news is they are not just being used for research but collaboration, effective display, connections outside the school, breaking down the silos one step at a time.

Future Professional Development
Taking my literary Review Topic and going further, being able to make, present gamification that is engaging, exciting and educational. Where I would start with this I am not sure. I think I will needed more in the line of coding/computer wizz support.
Letting the students lead, giving them tasters so that it draws them in and seeing how they take this further eg presentation apps,
Solo Taxomony and the way forward, being able to work the students at their own pace with incorporated flipped lessons, talks, exercises and having progressions to show what they know and where to next.
Gamification build on it,
have the students engaged in learning,
have the students confident to move between classroom and the world regularly
