Media

Great reminder of the power of play/create! Even though  am quite familar with stop motion and slides I never thought to use slides to create animations. I also love the way it can be used as a Pick-a-Path interactive tool for a Pick-a-path story or for quiz style learning.  Mote recorder allow for instructions to be read to students. It also allows children to match grapheme to phoneme.

New learning was around YouTube Channels and playlist. What a game changer! I was also just searched for videos.

Workflow

It was really interesting to hear more about the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy today. I’m familiar with Learn, Creat, Share and it was a good reminder about learning being Connected – Ubiquitous – Visible – Empowered. My new learning was around the Effective Practise,  Recognise, Amplify, Turbocharge.

It was great learning about all the extra features of Google Meet and think this will be a useful tool for me.  I’m also keen to learn more about Google Keep and Tasks to improve work flow.

DFI Core Business

During today’s session, I found it very useful learning about bookmarks in Chrome, Permissions in Google Drive and the functions of Google Groups. All of these will improve my workflow as a teacher. It has also increased my confidence as a team leader and my ability to collaborate effectively with my team. 

I have been able to create documents for my beginning teacher to record her reflections and our meetings which will support both my workflow and her work flow. 

I have also learnt how to translate documents which will be very helpful in communicating with students and their families as we have a high number of ESOL students.
