Wow, what a full on, great learning day. I did not know how much I didn't know.
I learnt many things today. Simple but effective, like initials at the beginning of a title for a document. Makes it way easier. Voice typing, I can't wait to have my class back and to get them using that tool. That is what I used my create time for today was to make a document that the children can follow to voice record themselves.
I customized my browser, adding my favourite colour and a photo of myself. I can now confidently share my screen, thanks to Venessa Davan (facilitator) for getting me to do it quite a few times, so now when I am sharing on a google hangout with my class I don't have to look at my notes any longer, (very happy about that). Learning about Google groups was interesting as well as organizing my drive.
My class are year 2 and 3's. Maybe 5 have their own devices and rest use school ones. I feel more confident already and have lessons planning away in my head around Google Docs after today's learning. I think confidence will grow as the weeks go on. I have taken lots of notes today so that I can remember when I re visit.
I must say I never used the explore tool much in the past, I had forgotten how awesome it is, and more great learning about that.
Look forward to next week!
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteGlad you have mastered screen sharing - such a powerful skill to have! You'll be able to take on the role of 'meet expert' during staff meetings! :)
It was lovely to work with you this week, and am looking forward to seeing how you are able to use your new learning with your students. I'm sure they would LOVE the voice typing tool. I must say, I did use it with a couple of your students when I was in your class, and they seem to really enjoy it. :)
