DFI 7 22 May 2019

 There were a few things that I will use use in my classroom once I revisit over the next week. 

The Hangout with Dorothy covered the meaning of connected by keeping learning visible. They run together.
- Go back over Google Maps
- Chicken slide useful for the inquiry on our chicken coup later this year.
- Check out the Online Tool kits and see what they offer and what I may be able to use. Also Google+ community resources
- Check YouTube fundamentals. Do not let kids download YouTube; use Google Drive to share videos.
- Applications for Learning - check out the different links.
I found the Google Draw session interesting and will be useful. Look over slide 2 of the presentation. Will be able to explore the different options. One area was the building using different shapes. This links in with Geometry which is coming up. eg name shape, no. of faces, sides etc.
Google Slides area was also interesting as the kids like to use slide shows during writing. Will introduce Google Slides and reiterate slides are the support not the main thing. Also used as a presentation too.
Hangout with Kent focused on the use of tools such as drones and cameras. Fantastic tool (drones) limited only due to cost.
I found the various resources on Pepeha very useful.(apart from the other 'resources' that were attached to it and played to the group).   Need to type it out and record it. Share with class, also explain te difference between Pepeha and Mihi.

  1. It's great to hear you were able to see how you could use so many of the skills you learnt today Kevin. Your chicken was certainly coming together nicely as you made the image on Google Draw. The Pepeha and Mihi are certainly something you can work on with your class and this may be something I can support you with in future lessons.
