Day 4 Dealing with Data

By -




Working with Google sheets has be something I have wanted to learn. My marking schedules have been a bit old school and time consuming. Today was the first day where i thought I couldn't keep up but enjying the rush of trying to complete a task in the allocated time.

Each week i feel more confident in giving it a go and relising that i starting to come to grips with it all. The Manaikalani crew have been great are are super efficen. Great work and thanks for your patients. I will enjoy playing around with the maps with some of my classes.

Thanks heaps have a great weeknd and keep washing hands!!

    Kia ora Mike,
    It's great to hear that you are feeling like the challenge is manageable, and also that it IS a challenge. What a great space for exponential learning to happen in... particularly with your mindset. What contexts do you think you'll use Google My Maps in, within your learning spaces? I'm excited to hear about how you apply it. This often takes some quite conscious planning and preparation, to ensure we get an opportunity to practice it. Amplifying your learning and experience by sharing it here on your blog helps others to grow in their learning and perception of how these tools can be supportive and engaging in the classroom. So please share, when you have used it. It's also great to hear that Google Sheets could have potential as a new marking system. It certainly is an efficient tool! I look forward to reading more about that on here too. Have a great week and we'll see you online again on Friday!
    Kia haumaru te noho,
    Amie

Day 2 DFI MY

Each day with the course I become more confident in talking and presenting amongst my group. It’s good to put myself in the student’s shoes and is a good reminder when I am designing pieces of work to remember to slow things down to accommodate for students that could be lacking in confidence or even just need more time to process things. Like myself! Teaching my students to blog and record their processes is a good way of recording evidence and communicating with stakeholders etc. Using feedback to inform their decisions.

Day 1 DFI

Day one of the DFI was a great experience. Even though I felt a litle left behind I managed to complete most of the tasks and be on time to all the group meetings. I enjoyed learning to use Google docs to a greater level than just writing a letter/ message. The use of the explore and how to use titles will be of use and look forward in teaching my students these skills.  The use of the referencing tool will be useful for my senior students who are heading off to university at the end of the year. This is my first blog ever and looking forward to the next 8 weeks of this coarse learning some new skills to pass onto my students.

The importance of creative thinking! Initiating creative minds and how we can promt our students to start thinking this way. Sorting Youtube channel. Create playlists is a helpful tool in organising material for each difent class,this will save a whole lot of random searching. Creating an account for you tube and making it suitable for your students. Organising into playlists. SISOMO sight sound motion We Video is a tool I have used before but would like to revisit and up skill to create some usable teaching tools. Manaiakalani film festival sounds cool and we could be interested. Slides to be consistant through out making sure text size and fonts are the same. We had great fun designing our slide to make an animation. Im sure the students will love working with this. This is my peice of work.
