Abstract:

After reflecting on my own practice as a secondary school teacher in NZ, I have implemented the Arduino Uno. I have identified 21-st century skills required by employers (World Economic Forum, 2015): Solving real-life problems, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and communication. See the diagram below.

I have been critical of the curriculum I deliver in my classes with this new knowledge. Consequently, I have researched and designed an intervention for my classes. I share the journey in five separate journal entries in this article. APA referenced.

Included are the five journal entries:

• A critical evaluation during the implementation of the Arduino Uno – successes and challenges.
• A critical reflection on my leadership in a digital-collaborative-innovative context.
• A Critical reflection on what kaupapa Māori principles – and informed opportunities for digital and collaborative innovation – I have identified. My future focus.
• A critical reflection on my future leadership. Taking into account making changes in my digital and collaborative learning environment as a teacher.
• Systems thinking, making things, 3-D-software, competition, and wellbeing leadership.

Keywords and Key Phrases:

Solving real-life problems, 21-st century skills, collaboration, communication, creativity, Kaupapa Māori principles, Arduino Uno, microprocessor, wellbeing, electronics, digital technology, building circuits, C++ code, and leadership.
