Wowee...definitely getting more digitally fluent..

Wednesday 23 May







How are you using the digital technology intentionally to feel creative and to be able to learn... To engage with the curriculum and making the best use of technology.


create : allowing our young people to be creative beings that was not part of the traditional learning in the classroom….to give the learners the opportunity to share their learning by using digital technology.


The 6 C’s of education:
Character
Citizenship
Communication
Creativity
Collaboration
Critical thinking
From this: creativity provides the avenue for EXPRESSION
You need to be able to learn, unlearn and relearn...learning is now fluid and changing
Sight, sound and motion...keywords for creativity and sharing learning
Rewindable resource…


Kent:


It is more important the we as teachers need to be creative, more creative than our students...so they don’t want to exit out of your “boring” website….be creative!!


Watch the slides: YOUTUBE fundamentals: essential reading for all teachers


Adults can self regulate, kids usually have trouble with this

How to : Live stream (add your own content...and to create content)





3 ways:


https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wr_mpHZg_gPCm5ejA7C5x4ynbtW_N396T20PvyVv1nQ/edit?usp=sharing





1. Using a full HD camera (camcorder) CANON Legria HF G40: film the school news of the day


Teradek: VidiU Pro (attach to any camera, and life streaming on the spot...camera has got a SD card as well) ($1200) and can go to multiple platforms (facebook, Youtube, etc...simultaneously)


YouTube live (students create something not only because the teacher says so, but NOW because they will have a live audience...example writing a blog of a book that student read, and the author responded...wow) (live locally, participate globally) (you should be successful by staying locally, but sharing globally)


(Unlisted mean you can’t find it, unless you have the link; public it can be found by anyone)


2. Using a laptop Webcam:
  • Using YouTube


3. Using a drone
Drone ( cross country, rugby training etc)
DJI  Spark drone
($800...through warehouse was $300)
Can be programmed via the student’s chromebooks...angles, direction, create amazing maths learning rotations all through coding


Process of YouTube:  Consume ... create ... share (live streaming)

SISOMO
sisomo: sight, sound, and motion.
Keep it simple; make your own template

Embrace blank slides; talk about it, don’t read off it
Make your own formats; your own design
Tips and tricks:  
Comments will only be seen by teacher

Here is the video of my learning

Tired Mina on 18 may

Wednesday 16 May:



Want to know more: ask Kelly

  1. Voice typing
  2. Using google maps for Maths learning


Learn:
Being Cybersmart


Surfing on line….teach them how to be specific in their searching
Being cybersmart empowers our young people to become confident
decision makers when they share and interact online.
Blogging is the ideal place where we can see this…
Remember the Cyber Smart program is ALWAYS positive...
helpful, thoughtful..
Impact on learners:

Omnibox:  the top of the url...ask Kerry to explain
Insert screenshot and where they go?(where do they save?)
   Ask Kerry how to hover and insert screenshot easy way
Ask Kerry about slide 7 (chromebook presentation) ( digital dig)
check these cool shortcuts out:
I also had trouble with how to insert my "snips" into my blog, so I made a video of how to do this:



About visibility and access (not monitoring and filter tool)
Dashboard to see you student’s work = they don’t have to share
EVER
To see the work students have not saved:


To teach them to put it in a folder; not going out to lunch until it is
filed into maths folder
How to find the maths work/folder...where? help Kerry

Click on the right (looking glass)

Also search the name of doc or untitled/unnamed
To make groups click on the people icon  ….ask Kerry to help
setting up groups


Smart share:
Gadget to get the doc in the right folder for students
Click on the SHINY folder on the top right


Teacher says:
Go to the math folder find it and we are working on this document
today
So you are clicking on this and you do you work on this:
Choose who you want to share with:
Class….student….group
Highlights:
What they are doing right now…
If they are off task
Put them in a group and focus browsing Look at the image below...
Workspace
Set tasks for class or groups
To find their work the student goes to...ask Kerry how/where?
The kids who won’t stay on task
Limit ...look at the image above


Make your own workspace


Ask Kerry for more help with work space; how to create and make it look pretty!!


Most exciting thing...if it is made public, you can search for it in public workspaces and you can copy it….make it your own…
If you are not sure how to start, look at that

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….

(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.

How does trust happen

watch the video : how does trust happen in music This reminds me of myself as a math teacher: HOW DOES TRUST HAPPEN IN THE MATHEMATICS CLASS? ASK the students: feedback here: trust is like holding a small bird in your hand...IF you hold it to tightly, you will crush it, if you hold it too lightly, it will fly away. A fine balance. I belief in this: For the first,however many days it take,establish a relationship with your students. Show them who you are, what you belief in, and that you care about them. Be strict, but kind...a fine balance. If my students don't trust me, how can they learn from me, trust me to guide them through this learning journey? https://www.edutopia.org/blog/student-trust-ben-johnson Trust not always work in a logical way, people tend to go with "gut" feeling, someone like us, tends to get our trust easier, than someone that is not "like" us. If students see that you adapt your style to your learning, you will instantly earn their trust. My first questions on the white board are always: 1. how do I learn? 2. what do I expect from my maths teacher? 3. how do I feel about group work. then I always spend 10 minutes on setting their mathematics goal(s) for the new year. This is always the first step to building / developing TRUST.
