Week 4 DFI - Collaborative Sites

Week 4 DFI  - Collaborative Sites

Great to have time today to practice what we have learnt and have the help available as always.

Today - Google Sites. Making the front page attractive, exciting and interesting. How to insert images with links to the site.Made a website from the beginning - certainly helped my confidence and capability and will use with learners in class.

Week 3. Media.

Focus on Create.

Matt Goodwin with us from Pt.England School. Live stream with Kent Somerville - using HD camera, laptop webcam and dromes. All looks great. Aware of what is available and what is possible.
Helpful to know how to set up You Tube channel and own play list.

The idea of creating to learn - useful idea for own pedagogy. Looked at a maths Jeopardy game and how it is made in Google Slides. Did a couple of questions as in attachment below. Intend to use this create idea with a Year 9 class on Friday when students can make own questions and link answers. Should be good !!!




Need to explore more about Google Draw to see how can use with learners in maths class.

Own personal life - google slide shows for own photographs will be useful

Thanks again for a good day. Some of sessions very quick and starting point high - hard to follow.

Google Keep - all about keeping notes / reminders & web addresses

G Mail - helping to organise and sort emails

Organising bookmarks - helpful

and Google Hangouts. The hangout we did as a large group worked ok. This pm we tried one with our group of 3 - with Julien and Janet in different rooms. We couldn't get it to work correctly despite lots of help from the ever patient Kerry & Vanessa !! But we did record something (at the bottom - couldn't carry on typing under the embedded video ?)
Going to have a go at hangout via Kerry during the week.

DFI Day 1

DFI    (Day 1) 05/06/209

Interesting to hear about the origins and progression of Manaiakalani. And how the teacherdashboard began. The drive and vision of the group in Tamaki was very impressive - involving all, increasing engagement and results and gadgets on top of posts to enable internet access at home !!

Been able to begin tidying up  and organising my Google Drive which has been very helpful.

Enjoyed the 'removing background' from photos and will practice this for sure !!

Pasting text - use 'without formatting'
Don't underline anymore !!
Using a Google doc - was rather restrictive in terms of moving text/photos around. Need a table and how to remove lines by making them the same colour.

Google groups need to revisit and try again.
