Take two!


Take two! Session number two 12/3/20

Learning from each other! Why not copy and paste the questions in!

  • What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Editing my bookmarks is a must do, editing unnecessary words, pinning tabs, making a folder or a folder within a folder. Utilising my calendars, making sure I am mindful of which one I am in!


  • What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

I found today's session more useful for me professionally, organising my workflow was its brief after all.


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

Google Keep could be a real game changer. I thought that had real potential. I have it on my phone and it is just a matter of diving in and using it. Presently I have a ' to do list' on my home screen of my phone which I add and delete from. However Google keep is so much more! Cheryl showed us how you can take a photo of some text and then go to grab image text and can then transfer it to google docs.


I am practicing adding in links using ctrl A, C and V. Need to remember to click on link and give a new title to get rid of all the 'gobbeldy gook!' ( which is not a word in my dictionary!)

As an aside from responding to the questions. The group hangout was challenging, juggling and navigating my way around but with Maria's coaching I was able to share my screen. 

I set up a hangout for tomorrow. I am hopeful that I may even be able to impress my 25 year old daughter who has studied coding. Is she familiar with one tab? Toby mini? (not the full on Toby who takes over your life!), nudges and boomerangs...my vocab is expanding if nothing else! Keep deep diving and swimming.

IT'S BUSINESS TIME!

IT'S BUSINESS TIME!

Day one - Manaiakalani

I had heard it would be intense, I could very well feel overwhelmed. ...it actually was ok.

I kept up most of the time and it was great to know we had support that we could draw on.

Having a class of year 2 children much of today did seem more useful for senior learners, however all learning and I took away something from everything.

I learn't quite a lot along the way for myself. The question is will I remember it...however it is rewindable learning and I have been scribbling in a wee notebook with a pencil! 
...click the star it automatically bookmarks..'omnibox'....setting up docs...how to create a group  -direct add and then they don't have to click accept....sorting my drive...Ctrl C and Z and V....the explore button..citation..never use underline..insert a table on docs..colour the table borders...can remove the words on bookmarks..SM sandpit...remove.bg to remove extraneous background..

and this is what I made...

Nau mai, haere mai

Welcome to my professional learning blog.
This is a place where I can reflect on my teaching in relation to my Teaching as Inquiry goals and how they link to the Education Council's Standards for the Teaching Profession.
