Workflow


Workflow

Today, when Dorothy was talking about Manaiakalani pedagogy she mentioned about rewind and flip learning which I found was interesting. She associates flip learning with how in America they use this with some high school students by getting them to watch a video of the teacher teaching to watch the day before. If it is rewind then it is there for the children to refer to later or when they are having trouble or can't remember something.
I liked this slide about how technology can be used to accelerate a child's learning.


Google Keep- This is an extension I already had but had not really got into using. It can be helpful to take notes and lists. This can also be linked to your calendar and you can send out notifications. With Google Keep you can take a photo of a text and it will type it and then you can copy and paste this. It could be used for stories you don't have enough copies of etc.

Gmail- I recently learned about snooze and schedule when you send an email which I might use. I don't get a huge amount of emails but for those who do look into the settings and maybe configuring would be a good idea. This means that the emails go into different folders before you even see them.
Calendars- I gained more confidence with using this and how this can link to Google Keep. Also how this can connect with Google Hangout.
Google Hangout- This is something I have been on but not set up myself I have gained more confidence in order to set this up and use as we used a few times today.
Tabs- We were introduced to One Tab as an extension and this lists the tabs all under one. This didn't appeal to me but will for others. Toby Mini is another extension which I think I may use after talking to some others. This is one in which you can group different tabs under one heading. This could be handy when I am in a team meeting and I need to have the same tabs up every time. Or it could be handy when doing an assignment or planning and you have a few different tabs with resources.

Today's learning was about workflow so mainly beneficial for me to help with being more efficient with my time and how I organise my personal life. So today was very useful for me. As far as the learners are concerned the Google Hangout could be used to maybe to connect with others in the community or the world.

  1. Morning Nicola, it is great to see you growing and stepping out, even if through products you know such as hangouts. Google Keep and Calendar can also be linked in from Google Docs, Slides and drawings. Continue to enjoy the learning through DFI. Tanya Mundy, https://tchingprofessional.blogspot.com
