DFI-Day 2 Workflow

-



Today we were learning how to record a google meet and then embed it onto our Blog. I managed to remember the steps (after 2 failures) and then I showed someone else how to do it! Very cool but I wonder if I can do it again next week. Did you know it automatically saves into your drive and there is even a folder in your drive called Meet- wonders will never cease.

Also today we looked at the Keep Note app that is on our Macs. This is also a good place to put notes and take photos as it keeps it here and you can also have the app on your phone so no need for double handling.


We then spent some time adding comments to other people's posts. 
That is one thing I really appreciate is being able to have time to have a play with what we are learning. I managed to cull my emails down by 1000- no judgements here please😀 This will certainly help with my workflow. The photo below shows this culling in action!

I felt reasonably comfortable with the Calendar section as our principal gave us a crash course back in 2005 and things seem pretty similar. 
Roll on next week!

    Kia ora Lisa,

    Well done on a successful Meet recording! Isn't it grand when we manage to do something new and despite a couple of 'learning moments' we find success. I'm glad you have been able to get rid of a good number of emails. I think emails are the bane of most people's lives, whether they work in education or not. I've been lucky this year to start a new job and put things in place from the beginning so that I don't have the build up.

    Ngā mihi,
    Sharon

    Kia ora Lisa,
    I loved your high level discussion at the start of your video getting Brogan to agree to being recorded on the Meet.
    One of the strengths of the DFI is to introduce you to possibilities and then give you time to explore and play to determine what works for you.
    Google Keep is a google product that is connect to your school account and so is available on any device which is very cool, it is not just limited to Mac devices.
    I really enjoy being part of your learning and the enthusiasm you show for continuing your own learning.
    Nga mihi,
    Mark

      Hey Mark,
      See I am improving with my reading posts skills- checking them often.
      Yes I thought that it was important that I got Brogan to agree to being recorded-is this a requirement or just a courtesy?
      I see the benefits of Google Keep as I am a 'jot it down on a piece of paper-put it down somewhere goodness knows where-forget what I wrote-find it the next day if I am lucky-
      Hopefully I won't lose my Mac as easily.:)

      Thanks for the comment Mark (forgot to sign off last reply)

Sites: Enabling Access

   Making connections with people beyond just who we know. Technology gives us the ability to connect in ways we haven't done before. Not just for learning but for the holistic checking in and well being of people.  We grow from each other in a community willing to share, listen, and help problem-solve. You have to share to be connected-it's a two-way thing. You need all four aspects of the kaupapa for connections to work. SITES   Remember the 3 click rule! sites stuff Looking at other sites- what works well? - from the learners and whanau perspective? Remember the 'window dressing' from last week. Feedback from our 'work in progress site' our next step is to link buttons to slides and to add a reading section.  Will we want photos of the teachers for reading or images about reading?  Need to add recordings of us reading instructions/books. Look at Brogan's slides for her decodable texts- Lisa to create and steal from this idea. (Brogan said yes :) I spent ...

 Visible Learning Manaiakalani Kaupapa : Visible.                             Can you see it or can you not? Teaching and learning visible in the home,  making whanau and teachers partners in the learning, and visibility between colleagues. We need to challenge ourselves... what have we hung as teachers that have contributed to failure? We have kept it hidden and secret from whanau and learners. For too long success has gone to those learners that have to 'guess' what is going on in the teacher's mind. What were the responses we guessed/predicted the teachers wanted?  Now we have to think about what parts of our information really need to be kept private? Not the everyday functioning of teaching and learning! Think about lockdown.. the stuff on the classroom walls is useless! Online stuff is useable and accessible.  We need to limit passwords and barriers to make it accessible for all-Think ab...

Media  Create: Using all the body, mind, heart and soul.  Hook: It's all about the HOOK This is what New Zealand was doing historically and was our point of difference- why did we change? Creativity tool of 21st Century is Media: Think about how engaged our children are when working with media. It is multi-sensory- Sight-Sound-Motion Movie tips: Be stable-tripod/ stack of books Lighting- watch the light Phone- film in landscape I-Pad Apps for video Green screen iPad apps- use green carpet as a simple solution-or a green sheet.
