Google Keep: improving my workflow and confidence
Google Keep is for any notes, thoughts, activities needed in life! In-depth note taking site. Used best when used with phone - get most out of it. Also useful when shared with other people. Going through the features of this app was great for continued use.Connecting with Manaiakalani: new learning
Slides
AKO - Learn
"Access and engage with existing knowledge" in a digital learning environment.
Important to understand this word - overarching.
Move from the thought being about the device back to the thinking about the learning.
Digital systems and uses need to be laid down and sorted so focus can be on teaching and learning. They need to be laid side by side as a railway line is.
RATE acronym =
Recognise (what is working, what we need)
Amplify (take effective practise and share wider and louder - digital go wider and further)
Turbocharge (doing stuff could never do before - teaching on line to others parts of country)
Effective Practise (all the above improving this) NZ Curriculum Doc is this. Contextualising this to local communities makes it effective for our school.
Questioning of self for our learners.

What does Waikowhai School do? Can we answer the question .... What does LEARN look like in our school? OR
What learning processes do we use or have?
to have effective teaching and accelerated learning.

| Adding Bloom's to Samr thinking. |
SAMR learning - moving class into digital world often substituting from book to device - not all wrong as don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water, but accelerating is possible because of devices.
Can we add SOLO to SAMR and BLOOMS?
An important statement that I need to focus on more - understand kids can go back into previous teaching so they can learn at their speed.
Teaching them to understand rewindable learning and use it more. Really important and something we can look at in our Syndicate as need to record our teaching more so is available for them to return to. .
Tools: in work and personal life
Going through the following tools was great and even better that the rewindable learning is in the agenda as many I will need to return to to be able to remember and use! I know I don't have to get everything straight away, but my old schooling expects me to!The following are some of the tips and learning I will use.
Email Tidy Up
Scheduling when sending emails good for if working at night
Avoid translating emails to send - not correct. BUT receiving can be very good.
Calendar
Switching between calendars or hiding them so calendar not cluttered.
Using letter short cuts to move between parts in Calendar = D day W week M month Y year N next screen P previous screen
Hangouts:
Start in Calendar. Set up event, add person on side. Check times and send. They accept, or not!
One Tab:
Collection of tabs which could be organised.
Shut down computer:
Restart every 24hours. Clean my Mac - app. Cleans out rubbish every 24hours or when shut down.
Creative Task: Quick Time Recording
The task we were given was on the slides in this link. The speed of instructions I find is fast and processing what is said, confusing and stressful. (Change my mindset needed!) It wasn't until later that I realised I could read it all to check all the steps were covered along the way. In this instance we did the task but the microphone was not enabled on Quicktime so there is no sound.
