Share
Session 4
This week we have been focusing on Share (Dorothy) and the importance of this. Share and connect go hand in together As humans we connect and share! As the hook from heaven our goals being to raise student achievement. Sharing has been hook since 2010. Ways in which we share in a school system include some of the following. At school assemblies, news letters, school production, sharing learners stories and learners with principal and others, giving learners sticker, displaying learners work on the wall.
Sharing in the digital age. We chose blogger as the main online space for our young people to share their learning. Share to finish learning. Learning the importance of sharing and taking time to share is crucial part of learners learning journey. This is a lifeskill that needs to be learnt. Share to learn. Share to finish learning. You may start sharing as a place to learn. We are using blogger as platform for our DFI course. This can be great use for sharing for appraisal.
Creating a form
Forms and sheets work really well together. Blank form Write in the title of the form it will automatically sync up and show. I found this fun. However If I used these I will need to use images for my year one learners, as they do need the visual to help understand the text.
This is an example of the Form that I created.
Today we explored using My Maps
I decided to show places that I have visited.

DFI SESSION 2
Today we focussed on Google Meet which I am well familiar as we started this at the start of Covid. I was also introduced to Google Keep and I installed the app on my phone and started a shopping list. Therefore google keep can be used for my personal uses. In the classroom Google Keep is good for learners to keep all information in one place. It is handy for note taking, taking photos and a good place to collate all your 'stuff'. One can put a bank of comments together example report comments. I found it very interesting that one can use Google Keep and add location and you will receive a notification to your mobile when you are passing that location, example shopping. No excuse to avoid getting the shopping done. It is important to note that Google Keep does not work from room to room across the school.

DFI SESSION 1
At our first session today I got a deeper understanding of the Manaiakalani journey since 2006. It was very interesting to hear about how the Manaiakalani trust was started and the huge efforts and work that went into establishing this wonderful organisation. It was great to hear how the Learn, Create, Share came into being.
I gained some insight about Google chrome and its function as a software application browser.. Also why it is best to use Google chrome as a browser, as students have this on their chrome books. I learnt how to set up a profile picture and how to set up bookmarks. It was very helpful to learn how to organise my drive.
I learnt how to use voice typing and I will teach my learners how to use it. This will be fun and assist their reading skills.
Being able to confidently organise my work in folders will definitely save me time, as I will be able to access information easier.
