DFI Day 2 Agenda- Workflow

The Agenda for today's DFI session was how to manage workflow. The session was around some tips to manage day to day workflow easily.

Session started with Karakia and some tips for Hapara dashboard. I use workspace so it was easy  then we were sent in our bubble to discuss what went well last week and what we are struggling with. 

Connecting with Manaikalani

Dorathy Burt led the session and she shared the pedagogy of 'learn' 'create' and 'share'. When we talk about 'learn', we need to  recognise and be confident in teaching practice,  Amplify and Turbocharge. Recognise Effective practice includes.

The session left me thinking to  how can I recognise what I can bring from my experiences, how can I find resources online, and how can I turbocharge learning through digital platforms.

Google meet- Chalk and Talk

 The session was led by Vicky. She went through different functions of Google meet. I have used zoom before and I have joined many google meets. From the session, I could say both are pretty similar. However, I haven't used share screen/present before on google meet or Zoom. Today, I learnt to switch between tabs when we use present function on Google meet. 

Google Keep

The session was led by Naomi. I have never used Google Keep before. This was a very new and interesting to learn. I learnt so many things that I need to explore. I learnt:

• How to add chrome extention from keep.google.com
• It can be very useful to make notes, reminders  and you can use the keep from your phone as well.
• You can take pictures of any text and add in keep and it can create a doc 
• You can add link to google doc and and access it .

I will try to start using  Google keep  nesxt week. However, I need to explore it first.

Gmail

The session was led by Phil. Most of the tips I was aware of. I don't have signature for my emails.

I learnt how to create on with help from Naomi. Hopefully, I will have one ready by weekend. Something new for me and need to explore were  shortcuts, google translate, dynamic email. 

Google Calender

Vicky led the session and showed us how can we organise our calender and create a google meet and attach a document from the drive. How can we invite people from there. I learnt how to create a breakout room from calender. I haven't used google calender the way I learnt today. I am lookin forward to using it sometime.

Taming your tabs

 I learnt how to make bookmark bar, how to organise the tabs with different tab tools. I learnt how to pin and unpinned the tabs. First thing I did was, there were many tabs that I did was I unmarked the tabs that were bookmarked earlier when I needed and which I don't need any more. Then I bookmarked DFI so that it's easy for me to access it anytime and I don't have to look for it.

Create and share

For my create and share, I sent a google meet to Greer and Annette. I chose a blog a student  from Kaingaroa School. She did a blog post on if she leaves country what things she would pack in her suitcase.

I presented her work to others via tab present and then I shared the blog post and shared the commnets she received from her principal and Dorothy Burt and some anonymous comments as well.
