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.

Taming your tabs 

We learnt ways to effectively  manage and keep track of your tabs. I noted that

having too many tabs open  will slower your device. So don't have too many tabs open close them if not using.

Sync is 3 dots at the top On Chrome Make sure that sync is turned on as if you close that tab and sync is off, you will lose all that information. 

Bookmarks

I found the using bookmarks very useful for any info used daily like attendance, blogs, class site and drive.

  

Workona

Workspaces (smart browser windows) is one of the best ways to organise your work.

We had a google meet with Dorothy who revisited the four DFI goals and focussed on Learn.

I learnt how to do a google meet recording and add it to my blog.
