Digital Fluency Intensive, Day 2.

 

 Another great session. First of all, the insight into "Ako" part of Manaiakalani philosophy makes much more sense now. I haven’t been using Google Keep before, but it might be quite a useful tool for organising your thoughts. G-mail is much more versatile than I thought before. And it’s great to have a signature in the emails. I know now that it's possible to have two events scheduled at the same time in the Calendar. And taming the tabs will prevent “running around” on the screen with your mouth. Google Meet was the highlight of the day. It’s a great tool, especially when you know how to record a video and publish it. Another bonus for the day - having Grammarly. Very fruitful session. 

 Here is the video we have recorded with Aaron.

Digital Fluency Intensive 2020 Day 1.

I was looking forward this morning to my first DFI session and wasn’t disappointed. 

First of all, the things are so much clearer now about the philosophy and methodology of Manaiakalani. The inspiring story of “Manaiakalani” creation will warm up our hearts during the whole 9 week journey.

I started to use Google a few months ago and it is so good to begin putting everything into the system. Making connections between bits and pieces I knew before and discovering new opportunities. My Google Drive is so much easier to use now after the big clean up. 

Google groups will definitely help to organise interactions of a better quality with my colleagues from different countries. Teaching others is the best way to learn new things, so it is time to start introducing basic Google docs skills in my Year 2-3 classroom. 

It was fun working with the info graphics.

A great start!
