Today with Gerhard we went through the Manaiakalani Cybersmart programme which as you will see in my screencastify. I was aware of the Smart Footprint, Smart Relationships and Smart Learners however I was not aware of the other areas. I did like the idea of using common language and using this instead of being negative. For example, asking the children are you being a smart learner? Also using the language of the blog of being positive, helpful and thoughtful and how this can be used in other areas. I look forward to using this language more in the class with the children.
Explain Everything- We went through this with the ipads. There is a bit you can do with this programme and I can see why teachers use it.
Hapara teacher dashboard-we went over this and I learned how we can look at the blogs and the comments, we have just started to do blogging so this is handy to know. I learned a couple of other tricks that will help my workflow.
Chromebooks- we worked with these which I admit was a little frustrating partly because I did not know all the shortcuts. We looked at these which I found very helpful and am planning on printing these out to help me with the children who are stuck.
Screencastify- I revised over how to do this and learned at how to manage this with the children and where these are stored etc. We went through how to embed it on the blog/site which is good to know.
Below is my attempt of screencastifying. I have a few ideas for using screencastify but need to work on getting the children to do this as I have not used it with the children yet.
