Digital Fluency Intensive

Today I learnt some new skills as well as reinforced some of the skills I already had. It was good to gain more confidence in some areas. I particularly liked learning about setting up headings correctly in order to lead me on to other parts of a document. I can see how this can help my colleagues as well as my children. 

The use of the Voice Typing is an interesting one and I plan to look at this more and have a real play with. I like the idea of trying voice typing with some children who are reluctant to write and have all these wonderful ideas. Currently, my colleagues are looking at different ways to teach writing and this might be something that could be tried.

Another useful thing I learnt today was about setting up a Google group as although I belong to some I have never known how to set this up myself. This could be useful in the future for groups which don't just involve people from my school.  

By doing the scavenger hunt this did make me feel confident that I can do a few things to do with  documents. It is interesting what I already know, however there is a great deal to learn still.  I learnt some new tricks which I plan to pass on to others which is always good and hopefully this will help with workflow and reinforcing I can use it too.
