Love working with Youtube!
Today I learned how to live stream and add to my blog and google site. Here is my first attempt using my phone and then downloading it into my youtube calendar.If you look to your right I added an image using Google Draw, it's just another way to present mahi. Really good to do, as it helped me to remember how to crop a photo to the shape wanted. Hence the to extra images beside my photo.
The next learning was to create an animated google slide. On the last slide, I was able to embed an audio clip, which is pretty neat. I can see the students use their problem-solving skills for that task. By the way, not all of the DFI teachers could insert a sound bite, so I was a bit happy that I got to tutu around with this new feature on google slides.
Today I had a wee conversation with Zorina, about how my teaching pedagogy improved with the introduction of using digital tools and programs in my planning, under the protection of the Manaiakalani kaupapa.
If I had this knowledge and technology 20 years ago, man.... I would have been the BOMB teacher. Now I have my old students enrolling their precious tamariki and as a leader, I will make sure Tautoro School teachers, staff and students get the best learning from this way of delivering knowledge and skills.
Great reflections Tracey. I don't think I could ever go back to teaching with out devices. I tried one day when we had no power, and it just did my head in. It's great that you are modelling perseverance and life long learning for your students and whanau. I'm intriged to find out what you do with the students next time you relieve. I'm sure they are looking forward to having you again.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Vanessa, thankfully our world affairs provide plenty of ideas, sometimes w forget to use national and international events as starting points to learning. As a reliever, sometimes I can't follow the classroom teacher's ideas because I haven't connected with the teacher and his or her ideas. So instead of blotching up her learning sequence I find it easier to make one off learning tasks based around events that effect us. When I return back to the class I see two looks... excitement and fear.
