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.
Zorina, Great to read your reflections and hearing about how you are using your new learning to organise your digital world. You have highlighted some excellent ways in which you could use these new skills with your students. I would love to hear more about how this unfolds in the classroom.
