DFI - Week 3: Media
Understanding Manaiakalani Kaupapa
CREATE - Hanga
Key points I picked up today is, it's all the about the HOOK, to 'hook' our learners into learning. Teacher to emphasis that students are coming to 'create' and not only to learn, but to bring the learning into 'action'
Students are developing the skills to problem solve, communicate, and collaborate.
Creating is a 'doing' word that has multiple senses and it involves using the whole body.
Another key point that I picked up is SISOMO (Sight, Sound and Motion) These are senses that help and support our learners in their learning.
OUR DEEP DIVE today
Drones; their purpose, the types of drones, how to set up drones, how they are used in school settings, the programmes for using drones and attachments used.
This was surely deep dive learning for me today.. Gee, learning about drones and their uses, made me feel like I was drowning. I have seen drones at my previous school. I have seen the benefits of it, but personal, I have not had the opportunity of use it yet. Fingers cross for future opportunities to have a try at my new school in the future.
OUR LEARNING TODAY
 |
| An amazing presentation google app that allows you to create presentation slides to support your story and teaching. I personally love using this and I use this all the time. However, I still have lots to learn that can support and manage my workflow. |
 |
| This can be use for anything and everything creating images, buttons, using creative shape. For me, I still learning this and how to use it. I only the basics, and I know to practice, practice and practice. |
 |
| Now this was interesting for me to learning about and how to use more safely. For school and have a more secure settings for my students and keeping them safe, creating and using school account - having it unlisted, used for kids, and creating playlist, oh I forgot, using STUDIO Youtube and not the normal open youtube. Im still learning and exploring this to keep myself and students safe. |
CREATE & SHARE
This is what I created today...
Yes, I created 2, I'm going through a bitmoji phase.
Digital Art - Task: create a slide show representing a verse of a song.
I created this using google slides the song is 'Try Everything' from Zootopia.
Application
I know as I continue to explore google slides, I will get better. This is definitely help with my management of workflow. I know am sharing my learning with my husband who is also an educator and I can see the benefits of his workflow too.
Im looking forward to exploring studio youtube and google drawings more.
As I reflect as previous sessions, there are things I need to explore more to make my work flow better. I just to make the time and rewind the learning. I need to have and develop better time management and workflow.
Such as emails flitering, organising tabs, using google docs and the tools. Im just going to take a deep breathe and go, as fast as I can, but as slow as I must.
Kia manuia, till next post, next Tuesday.
Kia ora Anne,
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your Google Slides completed! It looks really great! Now that you have used so many tools in Slides, I encourage you to explore Google Drawing as the toolbar is the same and you can do everything the same in both apps.

Hi Cherly, It was so nice to meet and work with you to create my slide. Thank you for the tip to explore google drawing. I will make an attempt. As you have stated you can do everything in both apps. However, I use only one app more than the other. Thank you for the encouragement. Nga mihi.
DeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteThe Hook is so important, without it we risk the chance of our students truly being interested with the learning taking place. We need to capture their interests and try to engage them from the start.
Remember that there is the Google Level 1 playlist on YouTube that you could use to support you with filtering and organising tabs. Don't feel you have to watch every video, but do pick the ones you think you need more practise with.
Tino pai to mahi.
Kia Orana Venessa,
DeleteI love your comment and the importance of the 'hook' for our learning and the reason behind it. I look forward to getting to know my new students and creating and providing their hook into engaging learning. Great tip about the google level 1 playlist on youtube. I will check that out. yes.... filtering and organising tabs. That job is so over due. I am very grateful for your help and tips. I look forward to exploring it. Nga mihi. Anne.
