Today I learnt the first part of any lesson (or DFI)- is the 'learn' session. We learnt about how to join hangouts, chat and talk to each other about what is on our screen.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Learnt how to organise my daily calendar; tidy up all my bookmarks (in bookmark manager on 3 dots icon) into folders. My bookmarks were all over the place; getting sorted now. Also learnt how to tidy up my drive as well. A real TIDY session.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I guess hangouts is the most important skill that could be used with my learners. At the beginning of the year when students set their goals and type these up on a template- then I could hangout with 6 or so students at a time as they talk through the goals they have set for the term. It gives me an opportunity to talk to a group of student digitally- and teach them about hangouts.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
I think it would be great to connect with my children who all live either overseas or in another town in NZ. I could see my grandchildren a lot easier than on facetime on my phone.
