Day 3 of Digital Fluency Intensive

Day three was a much better pace - or maybe I am learning to move more quickly from tab to tab/ task to task, or better able to take out of each session some key points and leave the rest to re-visit another day. 

MANAIAKALANI -PEDAGOGY   CREATE 

Create lies in the centre of Learn-Create-Share. I took two key messages from Dorothy's talk. One relating to children's learning and one about teacher efficiency. 

CHILDREN 

• Children love to create.
• Our body needs to be doing when creating. If the hands are involved the head gets going. Stuart Middleton. 
• Creative skills help children become better problem solvers, communicators and collaborators.
• Technology helps helps children become creators of content, not merely consumers.

TEACHER

• Rewindable learning gives more time to create- greater efficiency with the mundane tasks of teaching. 

YOUTUBE

I managed to create a playlist for gymnastic warmups.  

GOOGLE DRAW

Enjoyed this session and will definitely explore google draw more. I was able to create About Me for the side bar of my blog but not able to place it. 

GOOGLE SLIDES

Below is a slide that I created by finding a background picture. Added 2 different audios to the slide - one reading and music in the background. 

I enjoyed today and feel chuffed that I was able to learn and create three useful activities. It was fun!
