This is my infographic created in Google Docs today to summarise some of my key learning. |
It has been inspiring to be in a space to learn more about Manaiakalani and the Learn, Create, Share pedagogy. Not only did we learn about it but we have been able to put this into practise with our own creations, like this inforgraphic I created using Google Docs.( This was a first for me)
I really loved using the 'remove background' tool. For the Marie Kondo image. I think my students will love it to.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
What has impacted me the most today has been the learning and information about the use of Google Groups. I am so excited to use Google Groups for creating better work flow, especially with emails for students and whānau. I have popped some images up from our slide deck and also as a reminder to set the default to allow external memberss to join. This is especially useful for members outside of your school email domain.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
The VOICE TYPING tool which is easy to use in Google Docs will be a game changer. To use this amazing tool to recording your voice which then types the words you speak as text. I use this kid of application on my phone, but have not seen it used in Google Docs before. To use this in your Google Doc - Select TOOLS in the menu bar and then Voice Recording. Remember to change to New Zealand English for our accent. (Or whatever language or accent you have)
TIP:
Vicki our facilitator shared a valuable tip which is to allow students time to practise to use the voice recording tool, just like learning to write. Another challenge can be classroom with lots of talking and noise. So you can try using a cup or a piece of paper rolled up to the mircrophone, or allow students to go outside to record.
I am looking forward to next week and to putting some of this new learning into practise with my class this week.
