Kia ora
I had the opportunity to revise some old and learn some new skills. Pace of DFI was just right. After using google for over a decade, some skills I regularly use.
After starting the day with an ipad, I was kindly reminded to use a desktop computer. As I did not have one of these, I had to borrow a very slow computer for the remainder of day. I will see whether I can borrow a school CB for the remainder of DFI course.
New Learnings
(1) groups.google.com. A great way to have emails and information kept over time so new people who join that group will have access to previous discussions.
(2) Had the opportunity to work on my common Mathematics site (rather than have separate links to each level). HWD Mathematics
(3) Speech to Text function. I have seen this but not used it before
RE: Manaiakalani - nothing new learned. But it is the putting into practice of things learned that is now happening. Learning, creating, and now .... sharing
Having the right equipment for the mahi would have helped with speed and fluency - but we have what we have.
Hi Hamish
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you with us today. Good on you for being adaptive and finding a work around for your devices access issue. You could do most of the sessions on a Chromebook but when we cover Hapara you won't be able to so you might want to look into getting the use of a school laptop.
From the activities that we shared, what might you be tempted to try with your students?
I'm really looking forward to working with you Hamish over the coming weeks. See you next Wednesday ;)
Hi Hamish, that's frustrating that your technology wasn't up to scratch last week. I hope you have better luck this week. Glad you're beginning to put into practice the learn create share kaupapa. Was there anything that jumped out at you that you've been able to implement this week with your learners.

Tēnā anō e Hamish,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you at DFI this year, I have no doubt that you will excel within this kaupapa. A few technical issues and a little telling off from Vicki (lol) are just some minor speed bumps. As I live in the community, if you or anyone else at the OC would like some additional support, do not hesitate to contact me. Hei āpōpō.
Ngā mihi
Nā Makaore.
Thanks everyone for your comments
