Revision

For me, the 9 weeks has been extremely interesting.
I have learned a lot.
I wasn't very confident when using docs, forms, sheets or any of the other google apps.
I now feel confident using these tools.
I feel I could set up a google site etc.
I have enjoyed meeting people and making connections with other schools.
I now have a great understanding of the Manaiakalani pedagogy and kaupapa.
Going forward:

  • I would like to think I will use the skills I have learned on a daily basis
  • I will work with one of my teachers to get a learning site up and running
  • I would like to work at times in the senior room to increase their skill level
  • I would like to send my other teacher on a DFI next year. 
  • I would like the LCS pedagogy to be more visible in my school

Dealing with Data

Forms.google.com
Use the addon that changes form data to sheets and then to a doc.
I like the way you can convert the information collected from forms into a sheet.  I have set up a few of my forms now to send the data to the same sheet.  This is great all my community consultation forms are set to collate in the same set of sheets. Yay! All consultation will be in the same place.

Google maps and my maps
Loved this. Can see lots of ways this can be used in the classroom.  Plotting travel points in a novel, looking at distance and travel
I like the way you can share your location with family.  I will use this when my son goes to Samoa. 
While we were working on maps, a tradesman going to work at my school sent me a message saying he was on his way, included was a google map link to say where he was and his ETA.  This was really useful.












Sheets
Add on called crop data that takes away the extra rows extra and columns.
I learned so much with sheets.
How to average one row, then all rows.  How to make columns wider and thinner, how to do different sorts of graphs easily and use explore function in sheets to get graphs easily.
I made a graph of the number of posts my senior class has made this year, this has given me some food for thought and something to work on with the class.

DFI Week 6 Media


The above is a playlist I created and embedded.  I can see this would be very useful to add to learning sites.  I intend to make more of these playlists that can be added to planning slides.  During the holidays I want to get the reading or maths part of the learning site up and running on the senior class page.

Infographics Links
Slides to blogger
Draw to sites

Text box, select the space you want to show.  See the cursor, Select the box the cursor disappears.  select the link and add the link.  It appears invisible. Can have a visible link using a shape
Don't cut and paste.

Will work on these with the senior class next week. 



Great day.  Have tried lots of stuff and have learned many new things. 
Thanks Kent.
