New learning today Explain Everything! Was able to complete this Explain Everything. Not sure if I would use this as our students in the hub use chromebooks and not ipads. Looking at other school websites is inspiring as always, new ideas and confirms that I am on the right track with my own hubs website.
I found the Hapara google meet was full of new applications such as the pause screen (can't wait to try this one!) as well as sending an email to the student who is on task/off task i.e. are they on the right site...right place, right time👀. Yes, your learning is visible guys. I will need to go back and resort my groups as they are a little out of date, this makes it so much easier to
Screencastify is something I have used before but not in a while so it was useful to go back and work through this. I am not one of those people who can just chat away and record at the same time. I do need to have a script to work from so this takes a little added time when doing a screencastify. My goal is to use this more, especially as part of the rewindable learning and visible learning for my learners. It is a bit of a toss up using recording on my slides or screencastify. I am sure I will sus this out in time.
Thanks for the Google Certified Educator Checklist Level 1 as I will be checking this out to see how much I have actually absorbed and taken on board. I did use google notes today down the side of my docs as must do's, can waits and hope to's, I think I will using this everyday from now on.....just have to get into the habit of opening up the notes each time.
Kia ora Sonya,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to read your reflection on today's session. I am so pleased to see you gaining new ideas and applications that you can take back into your classroom. I agree that Explain Everything is something more for juniors, but it is good to have had experience trying it. Perhaps you can even teach your junior teachers something?
I am sure you will do fine with the exam. It isn't that hard tbh. Great that you are using a range of google tools to support your own note taking though.
Keep persevering with screencastify and record to slides. Remember, you speak to the children every day without a script so the more you make them, the less you will find you need to plan out what you want to say.
Ngā mihi,
