DFI 2019 Day1

Attended 1st Digital Fluency Intensive session on 20 March 2019 at Grey High School, Greymouth. The session covered many areas which are included in the agenda under Core Business West Coast Cluster No.1.

I learnt that I could introduce Google Groups whereby I could email/message the children in my class en bloc to pass on messages / important information. Also sending feedback on their work. This could also be used for information for parents of upcoming events or happenings in Room 1.

By using the information learnt during the day and having rewind access to the sessions will enable me to go over this in my own time and pace. This will increase my confidence over time which will benefit the children and my professional development.
I also learnt the importance of voice recording and some of the ways that it could assist the children in both reading and writing. I also was shown how create tables that can be used for setting out newsletters, brochures etc.
