Day 3 : Digital Tools: CREATE

 Kia Ora all

Day 3 : Manaiakalani : Lets Go.......Multi media


Learn : Its all about the hook.   Creative skills help students become better problem solvers, communicators and collaborators.(Apple)

World full of playfully creative people.  Refer to Hornby High example.

 CREATIVITY(Innovation) + AGENCY  + SUSTAINABILITY = my own pedagogy bottom line.

It is in creating that the individual gains purpose

A dive into YouTube.  Protocols need to be in place. 

Kerry: Multimedia in your classroom - taking story telling to a whole new level

Its not about how much it costs.....its about what you do with it.

Sight , Sound and Motion        -      Inspiring!

Create    and     Share : 

Makaore :  Google Drawing


My first Google Drawing.

Google Slides = A quick run down on slides.  Whew! busy !

And then....even more Create !!


Thats the link way.....lets work out how to embed HTML.....





Lets see if this works.....

Well....not yet.  But I'm getting there.  



Yay! at least its there.  A great starting point.
Thanks again for the patience Kerry.

Day 2 : Workflow

 

Kia Ora Koutou

 Great teaching + Digital affordances = Acceleration         Turbo charge your practice

WORKFLOW

LEARN:

Well - day 2 - Manaiakalani.  Once again - for me - a deep dive in to a new world.  How reassuring to hear from Dorothy - that tools and infrastructure without pedagogy is a disaster.  Love it.  Likewise the quote : Any teacher who can be replaced by a computer....should be.

Whew! Thats a relief(I think).  So a critical shift in mind set - from defensiveness to acknowledgement and expectation.  Also - a little sadness - thinking of colleagues who are no longer in the profession who felt they had to leave as they felt they were no longer relevant.  

How to implement change effectively and sensitively - that is the question.

Etiquette from Makaore.  An important base.   

An explore of Google Meet / a tap into Google Maps / and a launch into Google Keep.

Moving on to how to organise your digital workspace - Mail / Maramataka.

CREATE:

Well - on to creating a short recording to put in this blog.  This did not go great for me - I struggled to follow all the steps.  However - thankfully - managed to get a short recording - which basically is a record of how NOT to try to share your screen....so this is something I do need to practice.  Phew!


SHARE:

The blog video you really shouldnt watch.  But....it is there!


Now that will be my goal for the week - to practice this again.  Theres a few steps I have missed along the way -but its a starting point.
