External Recognition Agenda Day 9

The final week of the DFI course! Day 9

What has worked for me over the last week?

I used the Deep dive into Tech resources useful to encourage and invite my students to choose Digital Technology as an option for next year. The video resources were a great hook as well as the slide that showed which jobs did not exist in the past 10 years. The Google Educator level 1 slide deck was useful in brushing up on the skills in preparation for the exam.

Today - Friday 24th is the day of the Google Certified Teacher Level 1 examination. I have looked over the slides provided by DFI, so watch this space!

Level 1 slides

This was a 3-hour exam, I have to say I did thoroughly revise and this paid off. I managed to complete the examination in 42 minutes and passed! I am officially a Google Certified Teacher.

Devices Agenda Day 7

Kia ora koutou,

What has worked for me since the last session?

Ensuring my School site has a visual appeal and is simple to navigate. The site has a theme the same as the main school website. The teaching and learning are visible to rangatahi, caregivers and the community. Permissions have been appropriately set for what students are required to access and what others can see. The embedded slides provide students with rewindable learning. This is particularly useful in the current apocalyptic climate of Covid-19 and working remotely online. All other resources are available on Hapara Workspace embedded into the site for each of the year levels I teach. 

I used Jamboard to gather wellbeing feedback for my seniors, sharing ideas of this lockdown experience and an exit card for my juniors.

Ubiquitous - Ubiquitous learning to stop the below happening which is the summer drop off. The summer learning journey is a blogging program, run via a blog with activities posted around STEAM, for students to get involved in a 30 minute journey. Once the task was completed with support from trainee teachers, students got points for responding and writing their blogs. This project showed it really made an impact on their achievement.

Time to get creative with Cybersmart and screen recording

Create a screen recording talking through your lesson. 

Some things you might want to reflect on during your recording:

• What are the key messages / learning intentions in this lesson?

• How have/could you personalise this lesson for your learners? And what would it look like on your learning site?

• Are there opportunities within one of your current lessons to integrate these cybersmart concepts?

Enabling Access Sites

What has worked for me since the last session?

I finished my esports website. Making the resources visible to students, whanau and the community. I would like to storyboard the planning of the site using the Jamboard tool. I have received some positive feedback, but need to receive feedback from the users. I used the colour pick to match the colours for the theme.

Ensure your planning is as well as teaching resources are available on your sites. Plan and ensure the site has a visual appeal. The homepage is a shop front thus must be a wow factor. Consistency throughout. 

Ensure the users are able to navigate everything on your site.

Applying the learning to my Digital Technology Site

I created an Image masking this into a shape and adding some text in Google draw

I changed the theme to the same colour to match the Papakura High School website colours:

I put in this note for the videos as the permission do not allow public access: These video recordings are for the purpose of students and rewindable learning

Rewindable learning is evident through my slides that also have the embedded video of the online Google Meet classes:
