Media Day 3 DFI

Notes Day three

Anne Sinclaire discussed the importance of the create aspect of the learn create share model and
noted how in the past some teachers had proven success with this method of teaching. It was quite
empowering and seemed like fun for all ages.

Kent 
So inspiring to see the capabilities of videos and media and how it can be shared and made available 
for others to view.  The different ways you can record are on a camera nd even purchase a device that allows for live streaming straight to a live audience.  One school also has a large screen and drone recording the front runners of the cross country in the usually unseen to the spectator art which is u  
Video - video drones phone computer. Teachers can present fotage of students activities for sharing
later.

We created a You tube account and worked though the different ways to save and share media on
this platform.
consumer - using the pre-created stuff already on you tube to save on to your own playlist.
creator - here you can place your own media created by you
studio - studio is the sharing - putting it out there space

I can already see how I may use creating a playlist to share aspects relevent to the curriculum
On you tube that i or my students and their whanau can access.
I will need to so this is something to revise Creating a channel in exam

Google Drawings
I do love presenting and creating fancy posters ect so the learning on google Drawings i can see will
be something very useful and something that I wish to build on and practice. …

I loved working with Amie to create a drawing and make clickable links to find out further information
and that from one picture takes the user to addtional information on the web.
Kids could also customise get kids to use template make a copy and change

Google Slides
Advice for slides are to have the same colours through the doccument, keeping it same similar and
simple - ditch the themes create your own
Tools in google slides

I feel very empowered from todays session.  Wow how much did we pack into one day !!!!  I have so much to learn but have also come so far and already made a shift in my confidence and attitudes 
around this learning.
Create a pepeha this is a work in progress for me using a range of skills learnt.
No I have got so many things to go away and practice and also must begin utilizing these in my daily life.  A challenge will be how I can now take from each week and embed it in to either my own planning or life or my class room practice.

Work flow




Time to reflect and share with colleagues






What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?


We had and interesting Google hangout with Lenva from Auckland. She gave us more stories, information and success stories from the way Manaiakalani has impacted the learning of both students and teachers. We concentrated on the ways teachers can recognise best practice and then turbo charge teaching and learning.  Also recognizing and using Digital technologies to further enhance this.
    Oh my I have made real impact even today starting to sort and organise emails and utilise a few more of the fantastic tools that google has to offer.  There is a whole worle of clever tricks that is opening up to me.  So much to explore when clicking in the settings bar and discovering that you can.  reset your screen to a theme, reset setting to enhance and organise so many aspects of how technology can work for you.  I loved the scheduled emails as I am a night owl and often choose the quite time later at night or in the early morning and it is frustrating if you formulate an email or have a need to send something but think timing is not appropriate!

    Google Keep 
    this is a great way to house information in the form of text, images or (links ) that you can have at the ready and access really quickly.

    What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
    I feel empowered to work with my learners to investigate and plan more around the way that I could really add to and enhance my program using digital technologies and the learn create share approach to empower and engage.  Holding on to what works but adding to that and perhaps changing it up a little.   


    Too many Tabs
    That is me too many tabs! Then trying to navigate around the long line of them can become very tricky


    Google hang out and record session.
    this session was a tad frustrating as our computers did not have the recording aspect and even using someones mac we did not successfully get the task done.  I can see that these hang outs are yet another way to connect with others even from a huge distance easily.  It was interesting that one of our colleagues mentioned that a friend of hers is in a city of the world currently undergoing  lock down due to the corona virus.  She said that this is how she must currently connect with her students daily.  This is also a discussion that was floated up at the mind lab during some PD learning I attended there.  This is available and distance learning is definitely becoming an option that may become more popular whether it be to gather information from and expert or  a path teaching will follow more widely.

    What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

    I feel that the way I manage my digital technologies in my life currently is like a crazy disorganized messy filing cabinet.  I KNOW that I can make my life much easier if I would take some time to organised and sort, emails, documents files and my systems.  I feel like I have been gifted some fantastic tools and if I go away and give time to this I will be richly rewarded with greater organisation and access to information and my personal management on so many levels

RN poster


Wow a great lot of learning today.  Some of the ways to use short cuts were extreemly handy.  Using

This poster allowed me to explore a whole new range of skills using google docs to present.  This is fantastic for me as I have recently felt really stiffled as far as presenting goes with google docs.  I use to be a master of publisher and was able to present really smart looking things.  I have used comic life and loved that then became a master of pic collage.  So now I create lots with docs but they are not so pretty.  From today on I have new skills to work with when I embark on further creations in docs! Yay... so excited to try these out more!!!

Create group…. Question will ask you to creat a group and invite members but dont forget that you have been told to DIRCT ADD as people dont always accept  invites So DIRECT ADD on this question

I am ready to that a look at SORTING AND ORGANIZING. I am so glad that no one looked at my digital organisation. Lots of tips and reminders on how you can sort and organise digital information well. I am going to go through and have a clean up and sort our the many docs I have (ensuring all are titled and filed! I have folders and now have additional organisational tips to arrange my files and docs in a way I can more easily find what I need. The visibility of who I share information with is something that challenged my thinking so that is something to revisit and attend to..


We had discussion around a few key words and information that helped me to clarify and understand what
happens in docs and when linking and organising information

These things I will use with my own organisation, sorting my drives and info both personal and School related
You may want to have a document linked into some other of your systems planning ect as a reminder or link -this is like a ghost of the orriginal but will likn and show all updates of orriginal


Shift Z -    Can link a file to another so you can see it in both

MOVE means move or take away from that space…. Add duplicates and adds to somewhere else.

Use the headings button to edit docs with out doing it yourself 

Copying text unformated will be so useful when doing any professional development essays ect. As will the headings settings and using
liknking headings searching or taging specific bits of text. Addding a contents table was reall helpful too.
