DFI Session 3 - Media

 Creativity is something I deeply value. I have grown up in an extremely creative whanau and am a creative myself. Having the chance to connect with and practice the CREATE  part of the Manaiakalani kaupapa was so much fun!

I loved using Google slides for something other than presentations! I have learnt to create an app using slides that can allow my students to navigate one of their lessons. I can see how this could become an exciting way for students to present their learning, and as a beginners step to app creation. I would love to see how this also could become a way of akonga reporting back to parents about what they are doing and what their next steps are.

Take a look...

    Kia ora Michelle,
    Love this idea. It is a new create session on DFI I think as I have not come across it before. There are heaps of applications for this I reckon. I enjoyed learning about OzBots! M

      Thanks Meryn, I really enjoyed this lesson! I thought this was not just a cool way to present a lesson, but a cool way to introduce app making, and a good way to share learning.

    Wow what a cool way to get a basic learning platform ready for students. I can see this as being very useful tool in robotics or technology classes where we need alot of information accesable all at once. Sites are great for hosting but this seems to be more streamlined. Getting students to share their learning through something like this would be an awesome way to connect with whanau!

    This is such a cool idea Michelle :D I remember learning about Ozbots with you at school and I would love to have something as handy as an app to refer back to as I am programming in the future.

    How cool!

DFI Session 2: Workflow

Google has so many functions that can increase work productivity and efficiency. Cleaning up tabs and gmail is a task that I would generally need to do each term however, with changing a few settings (and adding some folders in gmail) it makes it into a much easier process. I have customised my settings and added some filters to sort emails appropriately into the folders which makes keeping up with blogs and google classrooms heaps more manageable. Using Google Keep  I want to try and use Google Keep. I am quite an organised person by nature and I respond well to lists. I have created many notes in different places, but I would love to centralise these so that I don't have to go looking  in  multiple places to find them. I can see where this could also be beneficial for learners in terms of helping to keep them organised with their own tasks whether it be for school, sport, or personally. Using Google Meet This is a really cool tool. I am more familiar with Zoom, however,...

Ubiquitous Learning is something that in the last few weeks of lockdown that I wish I understood more fully. The idea of teaching and learning being rewindable from not just the teaching front, but also from the students learning is something I think is hugely valuable. Lockdown was a good opportunity to create tutorials and record Google Meets for the students to be able to access at any point. I found that the ones who did engage in this learning found it really helpful and engaging. I would have loved to have had some time to take students through some of the skills behind rewindable learning beforehand, but hind site is also a gift, and I am now going to look for opportunities to integrate this more in my teaching.  I love the idea about Participation, Partnership and Protection in relation to digital technology. This is something that was also highlighted through lockdown that we could work on as a school. That learning is not just about from teacher to learner, or learner to ...
