DFI - Day 2

DFI - Day 2

Chalk n' Talk - Google Meet

  • Able to meet with anyone anywhere - up to 100 people (49 people in the grid at one time)
  • Record meetings - always record when talking with students for safety as well as being able to use for rewindable learning. All recordings will end up in the meeting creator.
  • Access via email, calender or hyperlink - easy to place hyperlink on site/email for students to use
  • As a teacher always be the last person to leave - that is when it is code for meeting expires.
  • Etiquette is to have your microphones on mute and cameras on to allow the person speaking to be picked up.  The person speaking is the face that shows up.

  • Before joining a meeting make sure there is no light behind you, a blank wall behind you and check your picture, audio and video before clicking join now.
  • Raise your hand button - (good for when asking class a question) and text chat function for those that are unsure of sharing in front of everyone.
  • Presenting your screen - to share with everyone in meet what you are presenting.
  • Host Controls - can admit or deny all, can mute people who have not muted.


RATE - Recognise. Amplify. Turbocharge. Effective Practice
  • Ako - we are all learners
  • How do we move into a digital world?   From analogue (pencil and paper) to digital. 
  • R - An effective teacher is reflective and makes connections with prior knowledge - sharing and discussing ideas.  Ensuring PB4L, play based learning, values, well being is recognised.
  • A - to describe how teachers harness their teaching - being empowered and connected and visible. Increase access to all sources of information.
  • T - thinking about doing things that never could have been done without digital learning, giving our students opportunities they would never of had if it wasn't for technology.
  • E - Effective teaching practice - should still be recognisable in a digital learning environment.

Gmail
  • Setting is by default - can change setting by cog wheel.
  • Organising - archive - does not delete, hides or mutes the email so you can search for it later - Label in groups 
  • Attaching - insert something directing from your drive, can put confidential mode on, can change signature depending on who you are sending to.
  • Schedule - sending an email by time - check time zones, pick time and date - don't send work late at night, schedule for the email to be opened in the morning.
  • Translate - does not always work exactly but you get the idea of what is being sent.
  • Smart compose - the more you use it the more suggestions will be added and adapt to what is being said.
Google Calendar

Create with Meet and Embedding a Video
Today we had to create a meet with a partner and make sure we recorded the meeting.   In the meeting we had to share a blog post and discuss what the learning in the post was.  Once we finished with the meeting the video was sent to our Drive and we then embedded it onto our blog post.

    1. Thank you Dorothy. I am really thankful that I have somewhere to look back on what I have learnt and it gives me a chance to do some redos to give me confidence.

  3. Hi Dianne

    Ditto to the comments above. Google Keep is amazing! I have a lot of information organised with this extension. One of my favourite tips with this that I picked up at DFI was to keep the comments I use for feedback and feedforward here. It's such a useful tool. Looking forward to see how you incorporate Google Keep.
