We started the day with a quick preview of last week before we joined Dorothy for a deeper understanding of the Manaiakalani pedagogy of learn.
We explored Google Meet and had a further 'play' with this and recorded ourselves discussing a students' blog posts. We had a few problems with this and discovered sometimes when it doesn't work to try and try again and sometimes there isn't a reason why technology doesn't work! Eventually, we got there! A copy of the recording is below.
We attended to a few different things which will make life easier:-
- Google Keep - a way of taking notes and keeping them in one place.
- G Mail - looking at ways of keeping emails under control.
- Calendar - how to manage multiple calendars.
- Taming Our Tabs - this is a biggie for me. I usually have heaps open and really need to use Toby so my computer isn't working as hard.
Lots of content today and time to 'play' which was great. I find the best way to learn is to give it a go myself rather than watch an expert - they make it look so easy! The tools I discovered today will help make life a little bit easier.
Kia ora Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteRemember that all experts have played with and broken things numerous times before they are an expert. In today's world expert is not a good word as things change so fast, expertise is as Dorothy stated in the first DFI session is the ability to be fluent and understand how to find out what you need to know.
Remember to ensure anything you share on a blog or site is share as anyone with the link can view.
