The most exciting discovery for me was how to 'tame my tabs'. I have added the Toby mini Chrome extension and set up a Morning collection:
This means when I get to work in the morning I can quickly open all of the tabs I need.
I have been using Google Keep on my phone for a long time (mostly for shopping lists!) but never really considered it for my laptop. I have now added the extension and I think it will be very useful and, once again, the collaborative nature of the tool is appealing to me.
We had School camp last week and I have been on leave this week so I have not yet had an opportunity to implement my new learning in the classroom. I am looking forward to using the voice typing next week in my reading rotation.
Hi Amanda
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fabulous time in Australia, that must have been a special time for you.
It sounds like you're getting yourself super organised digitally and doesn't it make a difference to your working day!
I'm waiting with anticipation to hear how your voice typing goes with students, they should have a lot of fun trying it out ;).
My students loved the voice typing. They were amazed when I did a demo and everything I said was coming up as typing on our classroom TV! We had some good conversations about words that sound the same - I said whaea and voice typing heard fire. They were excited to read to their Chromebooks.
