The day began with Karakia - connecting with a great group
of educators and then the WWW session - reflection on last week’s learning,
that is, what has worked for me since we met last week, what hasn’t worked and
what help I need.
Next in the session was live streaming youtube followed by
connecting with Manaiakalani, The Manaiakalani Pedagogy: Learn Create Share
Today’s focus was on Create. We have to hook our learners to have the ability
to effectively create. Creative skills help students become better problem
solvers, communicators and collaborators. Creativity focuses on the process of
forming original ideas through exploration and discovery.
After that we learnt about creating a youtube channel. Keep
the channel unlisted and turn off commenting before activating the channel.
Next was creating and using playlists in youtube. Youtube playlists are like
any playlist such as itunes.
Google drawing was next in the session. Save the drawings as
a png file if the drawing is used in other applications such as google site.
This keeps the background transparent. When resizing images use the corners
with the Shift key pressed. Created a round About Me button for my blog
sidebar.
Then we learnt about google slides. We should embrace the white
spaces in the slides. Use consistent formatting and basic formatting rules and
let the slide be the supporting cast.
After that we learnt how to create a digital portrait using
google draw. The important keys used for this task was Command + Shift + up
arrow.
In the last session of the day we created digital pepeha
using google slides and then tidying up our blogs.
I have learnt a lot of new things in today’s session which I
can use to improve the teaching and learning.
