The main message I took from today was that it is our job as educators to help children develop digital citizenship. To be safe, and become thoughtful, positive, helpful connected communicators. 

• We all like to share.
• We share in different ways and modes.
•  Children share to learn - new learning occurs because they shared or someone else shared.
• Sharing online provides an authentic audience.
• Young people are often hooked in by knowing their is an authentic audience.

This slide helped demonstrates the greater audience technology has created.

Before Youtube 2005 sharing was constrained by Time, Place, People - you needed to be there in real time.  

Google Learning today

Google Forms: I can see applications for my own teaching and planning, gathering student voice.    

Google My Map: Combining a google form and My Map was such a cool activity. This will be my homework this week to create something for the class to do.

Google Sheets:  This was the highlight for me today. Learning how to create a life assessment sheet and turning that assessment into a chart. Best tips- freezing titles, adding sum, block filing, colour coding, adding chart.

CLOSING COMMENT: Today was a good day's learning. My strategy was to take on a manageable amount of new learning in each session and be able to use that learning to create within the time frame allotted. I achieved this in all sessions - despite my efforts being very basic I am pleased with this outcome.
