Unfortunately I missed the session on the Manaiakalani Kaupapa - Create due to a power cut! I managed to catch up on creating an 'About Me' for my blog and tips about Google Slides - this shows the opportunity of rewindable learning!
I joined back in for the Youtube session which was very handy - I now have my own channel where I can create playlists and save and share these - I use youtube a lot in the classroom so this will be handy for organising myself.
Carrying on after lunch Maria shared how to 'drag and drop' in slides - a key message I picked up was rather than spending a lot of time creating these ourselves have our learners create too - that way they increase their understanding of content but also their digital skills all at once. Below are the two activities I created to practise skip counting and Te Reo.
What I have noticed is how quickly you forget - while in the sessions it seems like logical steps to follow, but try to repeat that again later and I have forgotten simple things. Shows me I need to keep using the skills to ensure I retain them
Nic,
ReplyDeletethat's a shame that you missed the Create session. Maybe our staff hui coming up next week can help fill in some of the info.
Love the drag and drop duck activity. Labelling is a great way to use this as well.
And agree about repetition. I hope you are finding time and opportunity to do this.
Cheryl
Kia ora Nicola,
ReplyDeleteLove that drag and drop - so cute! And yes, great idea to get your learners creating resources too. On slide 26 of Dorothy's create korero there's a short video which gives you an idea of the content that you missed - and I'm sure that the staff hui with Cheryl and co will also fill in that space.
