DFI Day 2 - Work Flow

 Day 2 of DFI - Work Flow

Woah, What a day of online learning! Getting my head around some of the new learning that has happen today has been mind blowing! Shortcuts and tips I had no idea that were on each of the google apps, will be helpful for my own workflow professionally and for my personal lifestyle. 

Firstly, Thank you Vicki for your comment on my Day 1 post. (using Shift and not command!)

I would love to learn more about Hapara and how to use it. Over the years, I have been at Central. I have had access to Hapara but was left to learn how to use it. Last year, a member of my team helped me in lockdown to understand some parts of Hapara. I'm looking forward to learning more HOT Tips about Hapara. 

One reminder I need to remind myself before each Friday is to fill in the WWW before each friday. As I over looked it yesterday. As well as looking at my comments, reading other peoples blogs and commenting. 

Learn - Connecting with Manaiakalani

Ako - Learn

Building and strengthing the teaching and learning relationships between learner and teacher. The DFI goals aline with the aspect of Ako - Learn. 

For myself, I think it is important to learn along side my learners, so they are able to see that I am trying as well. I have noticed that with completing the DFI course each week my learners are able to support me in my online learning. In the same way I support them in learning. 

I liked this comment alot and throught I'd reshare it. " Changing the way we teach to support our learners in a digital space." 

Reflection; What does LEARN look like at my School? 

PLD based around Write that essay and the sentnce train, mana whenua PLD based around learning our local history and where our school fits, PB4L, In our Junior school cthey do play based learning every day and the next syndicate does one day a week, and weekly Te reo lessons for our learners. 

Google Meet:

If we ever went back into lockdown, I will use the above poster to show my learners, what they need to do before coming on to a google meet. 

I found that the recording part of google meet was great! having the evdience to show your discussions was pretty cool!

I also found that the 3rd option when sharing your screen was helpful when wanting to share a video. 

Google Keep:

I found google Keep great! I love how you can take a picture then convert it into written text. I will use this in my own practice. 

Gmail:

Wow! I enjoyed how you can change the layout of your emails, what the background looks like and how you can put labels and colour code it. This weekend I am going to tidy up my emails as it is a mess!!

All in all it was a great day where I was able to learn heaps and take alot away.

Have a great weekend!!!
