DFI Week 4 Dealing with Data.

Today we looked at Google Forms and I created a google quiz for the 7 times tables. However, I do want to learn how to use google forms for a wider range of applications within the classroom. Check this out here... 

We also had a look at My Maps which is an exciting google tool that I can't wait to use in my classroom as a maths project! I have had an idea about orientation and have been looking for a tool to make this exploration possible!

   

So much learning with Google Sheets... this is an application that is going to take definite use to learn all the tools! A goal is to use this program every day. I think I will use this for my planning! Today we looked at shortcuts and how we could create a spreadsheet more effectively, saving time. We looked at a great data activity for the students, graphing their blog data.

 

DFI Week 2. Blogging and embedding video.

 Week 2 DFL. 

Had a great intensive today. Lots of tips and tricks to soak up. One of my blogging challenges at the moment is to embed evidence of students learning into student's blogs and to give positive constructive feedback. In this session the task was to comment on the learning we could see, what was the learner's response, who responded and how did the response contribute positively to the learner.   

DFI Day 1. Core Business 30.7.2021

A great day for learning! After learning about the history of Manaiakalani today, the origins, the story behind the name, I have a deeper appreciation for the initiative and philosophy that underpins the pedagogy of Learn, Create, Share. I am able to modify my planning to incorporate the sharing through blogging that adds empowers the student's voice, and adds more purpose to student learning. 

I have used tools today such as Eyes on Text (independent reading task),  Blogging, Google Docs, and colour pic eye dropper and other Google extensions to create a choice board for my mathematics workshops in week 2. I look forward to also preparing my students to participate in the Maianiakalani Film Festival in the coming future.
