The life as a digitally challenged teacher...

So am I digital fluent after my FIRST day?

Maybe not in your eyes....but certainly in mine!!

Definitely more fluent than this morning!!  YAY YAY ✌

I've learnt such A LOT....like the smarties advert in SOUTH AFRICA...at the side of the box it says: WOTALOTIGOT...

I was so scared at the start, thinking that I will not be able to cope BUT...Dorothy Burt very quickly put this to bed with the words:  "relax...we will break up into three groups...level one: will be the group, if you need the learning of the morning to be repeated, you can go to  this group with Donna, and ask questions and help, and to make sure that you can really ensure that you have learnt how to...

What a beautiful name....Manaiankalani...the hook from heaven!

When we look at the table at the top:

I learned the names of my fellow students, and where they are from...so nice to get to know NEW people.

Part 1:

Use google save….

www.google.com/save

(set up tags: math 9R or L3 3.9 etc)...get permission from JONO KBE; sent email to Debbie Russell) if your save has disappeared look for it in FAVOURITES as it defaults to favourites. I’ve also sent an email to New Era IT support...thanks to our wonderful office manager this problem was sorted and I now know how to use google save.

Part 2:

Google drive:

Like a set of russian dolls that fill into each other…

Need to be in neat folders...your drive is like your office desk….put a professional photo in your profile photo.

Good idea to put all the work in YEAR folders….2017….2018

Part 3:

copy and paste from google chrome:

(you set yourself up for an ugly page)

Edit:  paste without  formatting….control shift V

Part 4:

View:  show document outline

Insert:  bookmark click on link

How to insert back to the top:

To insert photos

Click at the bottom (cross or plus) is the explore button

Or insert-  image -click camera

For voice typing:

Tools click on voice typing….works best when talking in a box...put chromebook in a box..

What I liked most:
The fact that we could split up into groups, according to our needs, after lunch, to either practice

or to learn more...loved it.

and the positive encouragement...and not ONCE did I feel stupid.
