Week 3...
During the first part of the day I was feeling left behind about a few things but luckily we got some time to explore things we hadn't quite got. The two main things for me was getting my head around Youtube (I didn't even have my own channel) and the second bit of mahi was using slides to create an animation. I am so pleased that I got my head around these two things.
NOTE: Creating an animation could be become quite addictive :)
CREATE
First thing this morning we had a Hangout with Anne. She got me super motivated about integrating our mahi and tapping into our local curriculum, getting the tamariki motivated, creating, thinking deeply and differently, tamariki having ownership of their mahi and empowering tamariki through creativity.
LIVE STREAMING
How amazing this would be for our whanau!
YOUTUBE CHANNELS
I have never used youtube that well, I had always thought it was just a way to 'watch videos'. With Kent we explored creating 'playlists' (something I was ok with doing). But then it came to sharing that playlist on our Team Toroa BLOG (a multiplication playlist). Luckily we had time to go through this a bit more.
Notes:
Click on...
-Playlist settings
-3 dots...playlist settings-allow embedding and new videos - advanced settings (unlisted) and then cancel.
-New Share and then embed, copy it and then embed into my side (change code-auto play and the size)PLAYLISTS
GOOGLE DRAWING
I enjoyed this mahi with Amie. There are so many things you can do with Google Drawing and Kent mentioned that do all their planning and even reports on it. I enjoyed creating a drawing which I added to my BLOG profile pic.
GOOGLE SLIDES
I need to use slides more, teachers use it for their reading workshops etc and it is also a way to create comic strips. Playing around with Google Slides has been my favorite part of the day. This morning we were shown some animations using Google Slides, I had no idea how it worked. But after having some time to explore I was hooked! See my creation below. I will be suggesting to the team that we give the tamariki some time to create an animation apopo (link it with our mahi).
Notes:
Explore Tall Tweets (didn't load - 0.6 and 0.2 save and down load, back to slide, insert slide, insert image)
Or publish to web - Embed (396 and 670) or change to small and change time! Also change 1000 to 600
DIGITAL PEPEHA
Some things I have more wonderings about:
Buttons-I had been wondering about these from the mahi Amie does on our site.

I must comment on others blogs
And I need to use screencastify rather than writing notes to myself (next week maybe)
Kia ora Michelle,
ReplyDeleteWell done on an intensive day of learning. They don't call it a Digital Fluency intensive for nothing! It sure looks like you've made the most of your time to learn, explore and put into practice all your new skills. Great to see you have questions for yourself and musings around site buttons and screencastify clips to support your learning. Questions show how deeply you're engaging with the topics and learning. Well done!
