Started with a warm welcome at Taipa school.
Teaching fluency in the digital environment is vital to teacher empowerment. Goal - for us to feel like the lead learner in our classroom.
Important to allow the time for the share part of learn, create and share.
The types of learning we will undertake over the 9 weeks are:
Deep dive, Chalk 'n talk, Explore, Levelling up
Evidence of shift is vital to the philosophy that it is making real gains for students.
Learn, create, share should be effective on any device.
Google groups
Replies in Google groups go to everyone in the group.
To set up a google group - groups.google.com
You can be a member, manager or owner - only owner can delete the group - managers can be given some functions.
All emails sent in the group are listed under the group.
Tags means the same as labels in the blog.
Google groups can be useful for parents e.g. a kapa haka group, class parents etc.
Four types of group you can set up. Check group name is suitable.
Check if you invite paretns you tick allow members not in your organisation.
In the exam you will be asked to create a group and invite people to the group - not just to add them.
Reflect - when could google groups be useful? When you have students from multi-classes that you can't work with through Hapara.
Google group allows people to join later and get all the past communication with the group.
Setting up user profiles in chrome
Set the account up and name it.
Omnibox - url menu bookmarked.
Command and tab number e.g. 3 to move to that tab.
Asterix before will put them first, numbering will then put folders at the top behind those with an asterix.
Shift z allows us to add a document rather than moving it. So it is the same document in multiple places.
Using documents with headings
Paste text only and no code - Paste and match style - will be the text only.
Underlining means a hyperlink.
Tools voice typing - change to English (New Zealand). This will be great to try with my low writers who struggle to get their ideas written down in the writing lesson as they find creating ideas and forming words challenging. This will allow them to focus on the ideas rather than trying to also process how to record them.
Practicing using the explore tool following on from the toolkit on explore last night was really helpful to consolidate my knowledge.
We undertook a scavenger hunt to consolidate our knowledge of the Explore tool. I then practiced screenshots to insert it into the blog.
Reflective questions for today - DLI one:
What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
I have visited the Manaiakalani schools about 5 years ago so just got a reminder of how it all began. I got a better understanding of the learn, create and share ideas not just being linked to the digital platforms and how to start them in more curriculum areas.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Using Google groups and discovering I am already a part of some groups will allow me a platform to work with students across several classrooms which happens weekly for Te Reo Maori during Kapa Haka when we combne classes and during technology once a fortnight when parts of another two classes combine.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I would like to develop use of the explore tool with my class. I will also take documents back to the basics to check students are saving in the correct places and labelling correctly for ease of locating documents.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Once I use the tools all the time it will be easier to work quickly and load more to my class site. I still struggle with all documents being digital and like to print paper versions but am working on my filing to ensure I am more comfortable relocating documents.
I created this today which I have put into my site to use in class tomorrow for science.
Hi Penny
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have you with us on the Manaiakalani Digital Fluency Intensive.
You've made some notes that will be really useful to reflect on especially closer to the exam. Your science poster/graphic looks nice and clear and I'm sure looks good on your site, maybe you could provide a link to your site page here in your blog post.
I look forward to hearing from you over the coming weeks about how what you've learned at the DFI helps your teaching practice and ultimately your students.
