DFI Week 4

Week 4 DFI

What I learnt this week and things I can share with other staff at school. Good video on keeping details private I watched this video about cyber safety I am going to share with my students and get them to create their own video about cyber safety.
Privacy Video



We learnt how to set up a site properly , how to choose images for our pages how to use google draw. I found it easier to insert images rather than do a google draw.

I am going to change my site next term as I now know how to make a site where all the pictures are the same size and the site is more inviting.

My Gardening site

Start of my Multi moodal planning

This is still work in progress but I can see how easy it is for children to have access to all the things they need to help them with their learning.

I am going to try a Google chat with my BT so she doesn’t have to come in on Sunday

Multi Moodal sites these sites are awesome packed with lots of resources and gives you an idea of what you need to do to make your planning and site visible and accessible to students, whanau and to other teachers so that they don't need to reinvent the wheel. By sharing with others this could cut down on planning time

Primary Examples:

8. Theme Parks
9. Dance
10. Lightening
11. Garden
12. Pigeons
13. Flight
14. Family Relationship
15. 
    

Support Material

• Chelsea Donaldson  
• Karen Belt and Matt Goodwin
• Fiona Grant

Google keep have downloaded the app on my laptop and phone have made a note to myself to show staff.

Week 3 DFI

Week 3 

An awesome day today we got to meet Kent Somerville who is the Associate Principal at PT England School he showed us how to manage our tube account, how to make playlists so we could embed the videos into our planning so that children don't need to have access to youtube.  I also found out thatchildren should not have access to youtube under the age of 13.

I am going to set up a play list of maths videos for me so that I have quick access to them so I can embed them into my planning and they will always be there for me to use  when I need them.
This will help cut down my time as I will not have to search.  By sharing them with students they will have them for rewindable learning.

Kerry showed us how  to use google draw and also how to use google slides and how to use animation to make your presentations look more lively.

We were given time to create one thing:

• Create a pick a path story
• Create an animation
• Digital pepeha (presentation)Ngā Oro Māori
• Kīwaha for teachers - Create a presentation to support colleagues who do not speak Te Reo Māori

Digital pepeha guide

I chose to do a digital pepeha I have started my digital pepeha I just need to add the animation and music so it is a work in progress.
I was meant embed my pepha but I have done something wrong, so have put a link here instead.

My Digital Pepeha

Here is my google slide.

Week 2 DFI

This is our second week of Digital Fluency there were a few issues today but everyone managed to stay cool and calm.
As teachers we are able to ask for help from each other just like children say they learn better from their friends.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
I learnt how to organise my google calendars, my emails so that I can get the things I need to work
on straight  away instead of going through my emails one by one and wasting time, that could other wise be used somewhere else or spending precious time getting organised for my next day of teaching.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

Technology does not always play the game you want it too. Although we did not stress about the things that went wrong, it gave me a perspective on what my students feel like when they cannot get things to work for them the first time.
Even though you show your students something, like adults they need to see it a few times before they can actually do what you want them to do.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Being with a group of teachers at different levels of working with digital devices boosts your confidence because we are helping each other.

DFI First Day

I meet some awesome people that  are sharing and gaining new learning using a digital device.

Today was the  first day of DFI I have learnt a lot today,  it has been very brain draining, but I am
already looking forward to next week.

Today I learnt how to use the speak write app which will help some of the children in my class, to get there ideas down on paper.

I learnt how to use the snippet tool which will help children to set up their  learning journey's to share with their whanau on meet the teacher night.

I learnt how to make a poster.
