DFI_ Google Meet recording and reflection of a blog post

This morning we began our session discussing what does Learn look like at our school. At Oruaiti School we are transitioning from traditional analogue learning to digital learning. The lockdown period turbocharged my own digital learning because I had to launch a google class site, learn how to use google meet and upskill my blogging skills. The Y4-8 classes were already doing this and this was good for two reasons: A bar was set for using these platforms during the lockdown and I had some terrific modelling of what class sites look like with expert colleagues on hand for questions over the holidays. Prior to lockdown I still did a lot of learning traditionally with my five year old students. However, now I will continue to plan through the class site.

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani Great Kaupapa and pedagogy?

I think revisiting the RATE acronym helped me with my understanding of the Manaiakalani pedagogy.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
• Today was slightly overwhelming with all of the great ideas but it is reassuring that this is rewindable. Last week I felt like I was upskilling digital affordances I already use. This week there was a lot more new learning for me. I need to work my way through the agenda again to begin to feel confident and capable. The workflow suggestions were terrific. I didn't know about google keep and that is something I will begin using. I can't wait to get rid of my annoying sticky notes! I will be trying to use Toby mini to get my tabs in order. I also want to clean up my favourites bar and e-mail some more.
• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  
• I will use the captions on google meet. And I was so excited to know I can share audio on videos when I screen share by using the chrome setting. This is my number one takeaway from today.
• By using Toby mini I hope to be able to increase the mahi I can provide to students through being more organised in my folders.
• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

Google Keep. I think after continuing to declutter my work folders, etc. I will be able to start doing this with my personal files. This, I am sure, will be hugely beneficial.
