DFI Week 2

Wow, that was a full on day that flew by at lightning speed.
Google keep, I had never heard of it, but what a handy extension. I have set up the app on my phone. Great for lists as Dorothy said, but also for taking photos of texts. That was super handy for me, it set off lots of light bulbs as to what I can use it for.

Setting up a hangout through Google calendar, I got a little flustered as I did not have my mouse plugged in and I could not copy the email address from the notes tab in our hangout. So I physically wrote it down. But I though, no Michelle, you need to find a better solution. So I plugged in my mouse and as soon as I right clicked it gave me the option to copy email address. Phew, problem solved.

 Our create task today was to set up a hangout with someone in our bubble, record the session. We had a list of blog posts we could choose from to talk to in our hangout. I chose this clever young man Eziaz from Pt England School who made a word chain with his mum. He seemed genuinely pleased with his efforts as he should be. All the feed back was positive, even people suggesting they will try it.  So it was great learning for my bubble buddy Ross and I can now confidently embed a video into my blog, ( well as long as I have my notes next to me).
Also from last week through till this week I no longer have to look at my notes for screen sharing! whoop, that makes me very happy. Also learnt today from Venessa that if you want to share a video in screen sharing you need to choose the Chrome tab option to get audio. That will definitely help with sharing videos with my learners. Lots of tips to increase workflow, email tips, tasks, calendar tips. I even put a signature on my work email with the school logo, impressive!
So all in all another great session.
