Day 2

Day two of the West Coast Digital Fluency Intensive.


Sharing what has gone well and where to next. Making time to play and revisit what we have
learnt during our time together. 

Google Hangouts (Meet is the same)

Etiquette is key to hangouts. This is a valuable slide to visit with any group. 

Check that you have the correct screen settings.

Explaining the 2 key points to the programme and how they run alongside.

Teachers are the key to giving learners opportunities and experiences. Recognising, amplifying
and digitalising, using the SAMR ladder or BLOOMS to explain.
Each time I hear another aspect of how and why Manaiakalani programme has been created I am gaining a greater understanding of the need for teachers to be effective and inclusive in all aspects of teaching. The use of digital technologies is an aspect or tool to supporting the learners and allowing them to broaden their horizons. The need for me to stay up with the new technologies so that I have the knowledge to support the learners.
Today I have extended my areas of comfort. I have had previous experiences with google hangouts but today I have had to set up and participate as well as speak on a hangout.  As a group I participated in a hangout and we spoke about a blog post. My job was to present the blog so others could see. This was interesting but a great experience. (I also discovered that my voice is quite loud)!!

The best thing that I learnt today was using google keep. 
The photo to text aspect was amazing and has so many possibilities for all of my learners, especially with creating reading tasks or learning tasks.


Today I have had many new ideas to sort out my calendar and gmail. I feel that will play with keep and tobymini. These will be two great aspects that will help me manage my time and workflow. 
At this stage I am still developing my Learn and working with my Create; and some Share.

  1. Kia Ora Rachel, I am glad to see you have somethings to take from to learn and play with. Google keep has many features that can help us as educators such a s grab text from a photo. Listening to ourselves help to keep us honest, you have me thinking about my volume and maybe I should check myself and how loud I sound to others.. https://tchingprofessional.blogspot.com/

  2. It was wonderful to read how you had success out of your comfort zone. Good on you Rachel, because your blog post shows so much success from your 'workflow' experience. Google Keep and Toby mini have been great in supporting me to work more effectively and I look forward to hearing how you find them. It was great to hear you feedback on your Google Hangout. Your end result was a credit to your group.

  3. I also love Google keep, such a handy tool to keep my personal and work life organised! Anything that makes our job a little easier has to be worth its weight in gold!!
