Digital Fluency Day 7 - Devices!

I have been loving this session about Devices today. Our hands-on learning about the Chromebook keypad functions, shortcuts and so much more has been very beneficial. I know I get asked a lot of these questions daily and I feel more equipped now to be able to empower my students to succeed. 

Adding my slide here from some of the work I have done today. 

 

Having a  go with Explain Everthing. 

It has been a long time since I have used iPads in my classroom as the majority of students use Chromebooks in our year 7 & 8 classroom. Bring on a new challenge for the day. As I continued to experiment with the various tools like the DRAW TOOL, I started having fun and I could see some students in my class enjoying this app! I especially liked the INSERT NEW tool. I felt my students would be engaged in creating presentations like this while being able to include images and gifs. I have a few iPads in my classroom ... So it might be time to bring these out and have go with my class.

Thinking about REWINDABLE LEARNING 🧐

"Have a think now about the idea of rewindable learning
Ie capturing the teaching, capturing the learning
Enabling young people to revisit it over and over again

Manaiakalani "

Dorothy encouraged us to think about rewindable learning today. This is definitely been a key area of learning for me throughout the DFI sessions each week. I know I am thinking about each lesson I plan now, in a completely different way. I have learnt to become more confident with teaching using Screencastify. Even if it is only a short clip to enable a student to revisit an instruction of the task. 

Here is my example...

Today our create challenge was to Create or repurpose a Cybersmart lesson using EE covering one of the Cybersmart concepts for your learners.

Following on from our amazing learning with the Digital Dig today I repurposed the Digital Dig slide by BoI College by Kerry Boyde -Preece.
