This was my first Digital Fluency Intensive Workshop with Manaiakalani. Kaikohe West School has been part of the Outreach Programme for over 3 years. The big kaupapa of Manaiakalani is the concept of Learn, Create, Share and this is easy to implement with the use of technology.
I was introduced to Google groups as an alternative to Contacts lists in Gmail. Google groups has many advantages, the main one being that it is collaborative. It turns out I am in a number of Google groups already including Global Read Aloud which includes teachers from around the world.
As my class are just starting out with Chromebooks for the first time I have learned a few tips and habits to make our learning easier. Including their initials at the start of a document name so it is easy to identify the owner, and having just one document for writing in Term 1 using the table of contents are ideas I will implement immediately.
Understanding how to copy and paste information without all of the irritating formatting (use ctrl, shift, V instead of ctrl V) will make my life easier!
Hi Amanda
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have you with us on the Manaiakalani Digital Fluency Intensive course. Thanks for sharing how your first day went and I'm pleased you got lots of ideas that you could use in your own practice. I'm looking forward to reading about how you apply Learn, Create, Share with your own students.
