DFI workflow, Wiki rua.

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.
