In one of the DFI session, we had to select a blog post from one of the Manaiakalani Mail Outs links and discuss with my group. We had to preferably select a child’s blog from the ‘Learners Learning’ section and answer the following questions and also add our thoughts as well.
Questions and thoughts to drive our conversation:
- What was the teaching design behind this post?
- What was the learner’s response ie the post content
- Who responded to the post and how did this support the learning experience or contribute more to the learning of the child.
This was a really great activity to reflect on how learners blog posts and also the comments that were made to the learner's post. It showed me that the comments that people make to the learner's blog post have a huge impact on their learning and self-confidence. It gives them ownership of their learning and their creation.
In today's DFI session I learned so much about Google Meet that I didn't know before. I learned that you can access Google Meet through Gmail, Calendar, and Hyperlink.
Google Keep
Google Keep is really fast, even on older devices. Adding quick notes is as simple as tapping the text box at the top of the Keep window and typing — it's best for those times when someone's giving you a phone number or address that you want to remember, but tapping a half-dozen times just to start typing makes you wish you had pen and paper. Just below the quick-note field are the individual buttons for text notes, checklists, voice notes and images, and adding each of them is just as quick.

I love Google Keep. It's so easy to use and across some many platforms and devices, it certainly makes life so much easier.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your 'Create' video and talking through these steps. I agree that blog commenting can be very beneficial to the students' learning outcomes. Through connecting with students, we are able to extend their learning and understanding of a particular topic.
Hopefully you have had an opportunity to experiment with recording a Google Meet, since we were having some technical difficulties on Tuesday.
Thank you for your comments Venessa. I realized later on that I did know how to record a Google Meet because I have done it so many times with my class. For some reason I couldn't do it on Tuesday and I thank you very much for helping me. You have so much patience and are so helpful.
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome! I'm glad that you have had the opportunity to record meetings, and fingers crossed that you don't come across that glitch again.
