DFI Session 3

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Today we learnt:

1. How to create a google form. This is my google form I created today. Google forms can be used with students to collect information, quiz's and tests. 
2. How to create spread sheets and insert data from spread sheets into google maps. We learnt how to measure distances and insert YouTube videos for pin dropped places. We also learnt how to change the pin drop to a icon.
   
3. How to create google spread sheets to collect data sums and averages. We then learnt how to create a chart using the data in spread sheets. 
   
4. We then put our learning into practise by collecting data from a students blog to enter into spread sheets from there we created a chart and put it into google draw.
   

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani’s create kaupapa and pedagogy?

I learnt that there are various different ways students can express their creativity through technology. Google slides, Google Maps, iMovie, Google Draw and many more apps that I still need to discover. Student can present their learning in many different ways.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?

Google forms could be used with my students. I feel as though it is basic enough for my year 2 and 3's to understand although I would have teach very slowly step by step for them.

Reflection on todays Digital Fluency Intensive

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani’s Learn kaupapa and pedagogy?

I learnt that the Learn part of the Manaiakalani's pedagogy is not only targeted at the students. It is also applicable for us teachers through professional development. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Learning how to screen record has been interesting and I am sure it will prove to be very beneficial in the future. Through screen sharing I could record tutorials for my students to show them how to do certain things. 

Secondly, by learning how to set up a google hangout and also screen record the hangout has given me the confidence to be able to set one up in the real world! 

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

Students could use screen recording to show something that they have created on screen but also talk about it as it recording. This would be great as it is rewindable learning. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

I feel as though everything big and small is improving my confidence. Having time to explore and to take risks is great. Also having Vanessa and Kelly roaming around the room to solve any problems while were exploring is really great.

Here is the video of our google hangout recorded with quicktime. We learnt that we have to select the unmute button in Quicktime before recording. We did not do this in this recording that is why there is no sound.
