Session 2 Digital Fluency Intensive

Session 2 DFI

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

I learn't today that you can share learning through google hangouts by letting your screen be shared with others. Google hangouts is great as you can record your screen moving, pointers etc. I feel that this would be beneficial in the classroom as students could have more detailed descriptions and visual cues of how to complete tasks.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Gmail ordering, google calendars, how to set up google hangouts. With my mail and calendar now being organised it will make my life easier to find information and organize all of the resources and events that I am involved in.  

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?

Today we looked through a few different sites around google such as google hangouts which you can take recordings of the screen to show students or hangout with other colleagues during discussions. This could be used to share new learning with students about how to complete tasks as mentioned above and I feel students would enjoy this more as it is not just on paper but more interactive. 

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

As I wrote above I feel that because my professional workflow will improve from being more organised then I can use these in my personal life like my own mail and calendar. 

Today I enjoyed learning about organizing my gmail and having different labels to organise information. I feel that it would've been great to use the google hangouts if the internet would've let us. But our group have organised to meet another day to continue our learning around google hangouts.
