DFI - Day 3

 Hapara Hot Tips

Viewing and managing files 

Each student has their own tile

  • Can choose how many tasks show up on each tile
  • drag child that needs a eye kept on them move their tile around
  • can look at the slide deck or doc and see what they last did

                                                                     Presenting online
  • go into the address and delete the end of the link that says present and that will take off the rest of the window and will present the whole presentation.
Create
  • Hanga (Create) is all about the hook - which is why it is in the middle
  • Create - can be dancing and sport, culture, art, digital creativity - movies, games, animations 
  • creativity flows from the mind if they are doing something - if the hands are involved the head really gets going.
  • Give our students opportunities to create
  • Make create the heart of the pedagogy
  • Embrace create 


Chalk and Talk - Jeremy
You Tube
  • We don't suggest students have their own channels - not cybersmart
  • Teacher encouraged to have a channel for subscribing, organising content
  • Using blogs with embedded videos  on to blog or google site instead of You Tube
  • Setting up playlists - group of videos that have a similar theme or videos related to one subject - can be embedded into one site - so students don't need to search for videos themselves.
  • Can create a playlist with individual titles that cater your needs
  • Can search others playlists and save those if they have been shared
Media Deep Dive
Video
  • everyone can be a filmmaker eg Tiktok
  • the difference between professional filming and amature is a tripod
  • think about the ways in each it can be the best it can be - green screen, microphone, backdrop
  • dont film into a window - a classroom has too many windows
  • Green Screen - sometimes blue screen - technically called Chroma Key - if your school uniform is green don't use it (use blue screen) - can you white walls - use an green/blue sheet 
  • Blue screen with children with blue eyes their eyes can disappear
  • Place screens on the floor too
  • paint one wall green/blue to use as the screen
  • Podcast - everyone has the technology to do a podcast
  • walls need to be covered with carpet, thick curtains
Google Drawings
  • Can change the size of your drawing
  • Can embed it onto your blog
  • can download as a png so it doesn't have the white background                
  • digital art
  • anything you can do on paper you can do on google drawing
  • drawing.new in address bar instead of having to go into drive
Google Slides
  • As a presentation tool
  • If you can't write it on a post note you can't present it - it needs to be concise
  • the story comes first - what are the things that are going to build the story - put each idea on post it notes - move them around until its saying what you want - if it doesn't throw it out and keep moving them until it works for you and tells your story - that is your plan.
  • Consistent format and colour - do not underline if it is not a hyperlink
  • Slides should support what you're saying - some people are attracted to pictures and some to words so mae
Message in a Minute
  • Google Trends - get students writing and think - use trends and it shows what the world is talking about
  • daily search trends show what New Zealanders have been searching in the last 24 hrs - you can choose to do this for any country.
                     Presentation.                                 
                                                   


Today I really enjoyed the 'create' are of of the Manaiakalani pedagogy, one of the biggest outtakes I took from today was to not be afraid to give things ago, be creative and embrace what that means for you. Today's session has given me the confidence to try being creative in new areas of our learning. Message in a minute would work well with my writing groups - it will give them the choice to choose something that interests them to write about. I feel that using the create philosophy in my personal life will be a great way to experiment with how I overthink things without trying to be creative first.

  1. Hi Dianne

    Not being afraid to step out of your comfort zone and embrace what being creative means to you is an awesome takeaway from your DFI day. The great thing about teaching in our class is that our gorgeous students love seeing us trying something new and are always so supportive. Even better is that if we get the technology side of it slightly wrong they happily step up and show us how to do things. Looking forward to seeing how you bring this into your program.

  2. Kia ora Dianne,

    As Robyn has said, it's wonderful to read about you thinking about having a go at new things. Our learners love to see us trying new things and being able to support us in this space. Showing them that we are all lifelong learners!
    I'd love to see your create task - slides from the day.
