The Hapara overview was quite interesting because in our set up at kura we have the senior classes to manage and share work even if we're not in the same rooms. Share files across the whole year group.
I liked the Digital Dig into the Chromebooks and spent the time getting to know the actual keyboard, e.g. naming of the keys and what they're aligned to. If only our children were able to print their own work, but costs feature here and the constant drone of children photocopying unrelated school items would be a drain on the classroom budget. Will look to use Digital Dig at the beginning of the year.

Tool/App Explain Everything, dynamic and creative learning opportunities. This is a task for today, a bit challenging trying to keep the square in the drawing vertical.
The embedding of videos makes sense as you can wander off into 'Neverland' It took a while to get this video up, I tried going through Youtube but it kept on playing after my clip finished. I checked and it said video clips had to be more than 25 secs long, maybe thats it.
Kia ora Nogo,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to read your blogpost and see you making connections with how tools and technology can be used in your kura. I am sorry I could not be part of the DFI this week and support you with your learning.
I agree with your comment about having time to play with the chromebooks. I haven't really taken the time to learn the tricks and it was really great to spend an hour just having time to play around on one and learn some of the specific chromebook buttons and shortcuts. That digital dig activity looks like it could be useful for new staff as well as for students at the beginning of the year.
