Today was my first day doing the DFI - the first thing I learnt that the "I" in DFI stood for "intensive", I always thought it was "initiative"! And the day has been intensive, moving from one session to the next. It was great hearing the back story about Manaiakalani from Dorothy and the journey as we know it today. It was encouraging to hear the success of the Manaiakalani pedagogy. The short sessions were great. Even though google is reasonably familiar to me I learnt many new skills and the tips shared by Vicki and the other presenters have been great.
I think the voice tool could be used with my learners and I would like to give the "eyes on text" a go. The functions in docs like inserting footnotes and subheadings certainly will be useful to encourage my NCEA students to present their work to a higher standard. Chrome management, drive management should help me both personally and professionally. I have really enjoyed the day and look forward to our next session.
Kia ora Marian,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have had a great start to the DFI. Yes... we do try and warn people that it is 'intensive"! Your Google Doc poster looks great. This should be on the door of every supermarket! Hope you have a chance to catch your breath a bit this weekend before the term starts proper on Monday. Nā, M
Kia ora Marian,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your reflection on the day. I'd love to know which of those new skills and tips you think will be most useful for you? Are there some you've used already?
I think developing those skills with your students around laying out a document using the text styles, footnotes etc will be really valuable!
Looking forward to connecting tomorrow.
Vicki
I also found the information on the titles and footnotes very helpful. There has been lots of really great tips so far.
