DFI 2 again... Workflow

Hapara Hot Tips (Dorothy Burt) 
 My Classes and All Classes Tabs - check for this and will definitely use Hapara in the classroom.

 Failed camera - I was able to problem solve this, feeling more confident to fix small  techie problems independently without having to get someone to do it for me!

 Enjoyed chatting with my tutorial group this week to hear what they'd done during the week and different ways of how to use Learn, Create, Share throughout the school day. (Deb) ideas to take away!

 The Manaiakalani Programme (Dorothy Burt) 
- Effective Teaching - Accelerated Learning AKO (Learn) 
 - Language of Manakalani deliberately kept simpleallows for individual differences between/within schools and localised curriculums. 
 - DFI goals revisited
 - Importance of Digital infrastructure and tools AND pedagogy for teaching and learning for new learning in the digital age running paralell together. 
 - Embrace, endorse Effective Practise - RATE - Recognise, Amplify, Turbocharge, Effective Practise. - NZ Curriculum 
- 7 Teacher actions promoting student learning. 
 - High Leverage Practises things that are worth investing in. (Wolf Fisher) Things tht are going to make the biggest difference. (Authentic texts, Discussion, Learning by thinking critically and local school philsophies/programmes, Collaboration) What does LEARN look like for Makauri School???
 - Technology allows us to do things we couldn't do before - Amplify teaching. Sites where we can go and get stuff! (See sites where other teachers share!!)

 Managing Workflow - MEET (Maria) 
 3 ways to Create a Meet - Within Email, Calendar Invitation, Through Google Meet in Waffle. 
 Meet Etiquette - on mute, background, headphones, chat feature.
 Presenting your screen - entire screen or window or chrome tab. 
 Meeting creator can record the meeting.
 Extensions to Google Meet - NOD 
 I shared and it worked!!! Both my picture and my music!!! Yay!!! This is something I had done during Lockdown but had been talked through every step by my facilitator. Will definitely use this again in a Google Meet Professionally or personally.

 Google Keep (Dorothy Burt) A place to jot down and keep notes and ideas and things to remember. Put URLs in there.
 ... Use labels to help keep track of Keeps. 
 Can copy over to Google Docs. 
 A way to plan collaboratively around a unit for Hub team.
 Draw inside it. 
Use Keep for your signature. 
 Save time when watching a screen presentation and hold up phone and use Keep. 
 Settings can be changed and can add new items at top or bottom; can set reminders. 
 Use Keep to take a photo of txt to get editable txt and put into a document. ... take a recording to have a Voice memo.
 Keep notes show up on right hand side of screen under Keep icon. 
Keep notes work well as shared shopping list - checklist - record location. 

 Managing Workflow - GMail (Kelsey) 
 Change the view - Quick setting.
 Inbox can be reorganised. 
 Themes can be changed. 
 Use of labels can filter folders. 
 Stars can organise important emails you want to go back to. 
Attaching files/images/links etc to email. 
 Schedule emails to be delayed even though you have sent it at the time. 
 Google translate - Te Reo Maori Advanced settings
 Undo email so if you change your mind about sending something you can stop it from being sent. Change to unread so email pops up to the top again. 
 Smart compose??? ***Go back and rewind the notes*** 
 Dynamic Email??? **Go back and rewind the notes*** 
Signature - change mine for my Professional email. 
 

Google Calendar (Vicki)
 Settings - Display density/colour Toolbar on the right of screen 
Syncs with your phone 

 Tabs (Nicola) 
One Tab ***Go back and rewind the notes*** 
 Toby ***Go back and rewind the notes*** 
 Bookmarks 
Cluster of Tabs 
 Duplicating Tabs 
Right click to organise Tabs 
 I was able to set up a Meet and record my discussion about a Making Oreo Cheesecake Blog. I did not find this easy and definitely needed Deb the tutor to talk me through it!! I can see how this would be a very useful skill to have but I am going to need a lot more practise to feel cobfident to use with success in a classroom or Professional situation.

DFI Day 1 again - A great opportunity for Revisiting and Relearning...



    

  

Manaiakalani - Learn Create Share
Why Manaiakalani? Dorothy Burt
A great revisit of the story and evidence to share with sceptics of the benefits of the Manaiakalani Programme.
Venessa - Google Chrome
                Able to use multiple devices
                Omnibox Bookmarks 
An opportunity to remind myself of the benefits of using Google and the faculties it has.

Google Groups (Dorothy) - G Mail use through here
                                             Hapara
                                             Easier to use than Contacts - transferable

Google Drive - Vicki - Organising 
                                      Shared Documents/Files - use a shortcut (shift z) to shift the file
                                      Disable printing/copy/download/change content options
                                      Search Engine is very useful and can be specific
                                      Word Document can be converted to Google Docs here
Using Google Drive is something I use everyday as a Professional and with my class and something I have recently started using in my personal life to organise Household information.
                                       
Google Docs - Dorothy
                         Teaching Students - 2020 Folder with correct settings each student use their intials on                             every document.
                         Control Shift v - to paste without formatting.
                         Different functions of Google to make it easy for students to read documents online.
                         Voice activated text.
                         'Explore' Tool - Little star on bottom right hand page of Doc. Pictures etc free to use                                 and References it.
This was great revision of how to set my class up and how to organise my my documents to help time management for me in my personal life.

                                     

Create using a Google Doc with  - Earthquake Drill Visual - I will definitely use this easy way of creating visuals in my classroom AND will attempt to teach my Year 2s this!




My DFI bubble with our Bubble Leader - Deb deborah.wallace@manaiakalani.org
A great opportunity to learn within a small group and ask questions to improve our confidence as a learner and teacher.

Something to take away and practise - I have tried publishing to the web and using compose and HTML and screenshot, but alas something is going wrong.....
