Kia ora. Today we have used Meet to create a post about blogging.
We all chose a blog post from the Manaiakalani mailout Term 2. With a partner we discussed the posts and recorded it. Then learnt how to post on our blog via the HTML.
The importance of Embedding rather than inserting a video is so that the video/audio can be changed later if needed without having to revisit the blog.
This has been another very informative day. Here are some points of interest:
* Kerry focussed on Learn/Ako with the acronym RATE, Recognise, Amplify, Turbocharge and Effective Practice in the digital world of our learners. What does this look like at our school?
* Learn allows individual schools to focus on addressing achievement challenges within their diverse communities.
* When screen sharing use Chrome tab when sharing video/audio
* Google Keep can be shared with other emails, share lists, use reminder to add location, take photo and grab image text, use audio for taking notes
* Gmail - schedule send, change settings to apply filters, use labels, use signature, access calendar and keep on side.
* Google Calendar - invite others, check their calendar. Create an event, add meet, invite and add attachment. Duplicate events.
* Taming your tabs - every tab uses processing power. Consolidate tabs using one-tab.com, Workona, Toby Mini ... Pin tabs to minimise. New tab, begin to type, click on switch.
* Ctrl A to copy embed code, Ctrl V to paste.
Once again I have learned many useful skills and I plan to put them into action with the idea of working smarter, not harder. I am looking forward to seeing our colleagues, tamariki and whanau next week as we move into Week 6. This is a link that I found on the Learn/Ako page that I found interesting as we think about the our well-being and that of our tamariki. Social and Emotional Learning Ka kite ano.
Hi Pip
ReplyDeleteThe information and skills that you recieved today are very helpful and timesaving. We will have to remember to use these in our teaching space more. Taming your tabs looks like something I will look into. It's great that I can learn from you.
Thanks for your comment Mrs Ritchie. It is also great that I can learn from you.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Pip, I have really enjoyed reading your blog. You are off to a roaring start, and as you learn more, I am sure this will be reflected in your ongoing blog posts. I will check in regularly. I welcome the opportunity to learn from you through via your blog as you navigate your way through the digital realm! Something tells me you are in the best hands thanks to all the wonderful knowledge of our Manaaikalani educators.
ReplyDeleteKia ora anō Pip,
ReplyDeleteGreat to read that the new pūkenga/skills that you are learning will assist you with 'working smarter, not harder'. As an educator your time is valuable, so improving your workflow will help your learners and your personal life.
I really enjoyed the short clip on social and emotional learning, the long term benefits of that pedagogy are excellent. It would be great if this mahi was taken up more widely here in Aotearoa.
