Matt joined us from Auckland and led us through a day of learn create share with media.
Kent beamed in from Pt England School and gave us his dreamscape about live streaming. It blew my socks off! What a great way to connect school with whānau as events happen. The possibilities are endless. Whoever is selling drones in Gizzy might have a wee surge in sales following Kent's session.
I am a Google Drawings evangelist and use this app constantly with learners in the classes I am in. We do everything we can in Google Drawings from simple drawing & publishing, shape-o-grams, drag & drop activities, blog profiles, vector drawings, fridge magnets, posters of all sorts and infographics to name a few. The links go to some learners blogs as examples of the ways Google Drawings can be used.
And as for Google Slides - well, this is the Swiss army knife of the Google Suite and can be used widely in all learning areas. We had a play with animation today. Learners in classes love this and it captivates them. I gave a year 3 class a wero this week to animate in Google Slides. They had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing each other's work. Some of the older students have been creating a maths quiz in Google Slides. Click here to see Riley's maths quiz.
Create: my efforts today went into creating my pepeha on Google Tour Builder. One thing I can't do is embed it so the link to view my pepeha is here.
Then I discovered "view in Google Earth" so the link for that is here.
Still lots of clicks involved to move locations and view photos. So...next job was to Screencastify it. Here it is...
Next week is Google Certification exam time. Phew - mine are still current. Good luck everyone else!
Enjoyed the pepeha Cheryl. Quite an effective way to present it.
