DFI_Day 3_creating a playlist on YouTube_Adding audio to slides

Today the Manaiakalani team brought the 'intensive' to today's digital fluency intensive. There is always so much to learn and add to our digital toolbox. I was able to ask a few questions and get quick help for things I have wanted to know for a while. Having had intensive learning over the distance learning period it is just fabulous to have a few problems easily ironed out by some digital experts.

Making a playlist in YouTube

This is something I had never imagined needing. I did already have a YouTube channel to make videos. However, using creating a playlist was new for me. I can imagine this will be a good place to easily find the youtube videos I found helpful to share with students during distance learning. It is also another area I can see it will be useful to separate school or professional life from personal life. My goal this week is to go to Week 1 DFI slides to learn how to separate google accounts.

 Inserting Audio into slides

This was something I really wanted to do during distance learning. It was an idea that had been shared during our Junior Slam. However, I found the step to get my voice recording into my drive impossible. Thanks to screen sharing in my group session with Dave Winter he was able to tell me in a few seconds what I have been endeavouring to do since I have had this laptop. Needless to say I was pretty stoked! A few minutes later I saw another lady who had the same challenge as me smiling with delight when she discovered this very simple step.

I wonder if anyone might be able to help me work out how to fix this slide that I have embedded so it looks better. 

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

I was reminded today that the 'create' part of the kaupapa is at the centre of the Manaiakalani pedagogy.
It is the hook for learners and we need to ensure our learners have plenty of time creating.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Creating a playlist on YouTube will be beneficial for me. I feel a lot more confidence with using YouTube.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

Definitely embedding audio into my google slides. I use these a lot of my class site. I will also use slides in the future to create with students.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

Having a playlist for my personal life will be great because I like the idea of reducing adds and I also have videos I want to watch but prioritise others first. This way I can have them ready when I have finished watching the first videos.
