DFI: Devices

 

Listening to Dorothy this morning helped me to realise that regularly practicing learning via a google meet with students during class time is something that I hadn't thought to do. It's a great way to identify students that have barriers and to help them so that all students are confident and ready to learn digitally from home if need be.

Rewindable learning is so valuable for children that are absent as they can do their learning from home. This is something that I am yet to implement. At the moment students that I know will be absent I send paper based work home for them to complete. I love the idea of children making recordings of the teacher explaining how to do something and then sharing that with others.

I have not spent much time on a Chromebook and when students have issues I try and wing it to find remedies. Spending a decent amount of time using one today was great. I now feel confident in finding my way round and I'm sure I learnt some tips and tricks that most of my students don't already know! 

Getting the chance to practice with Screen Castify was fun! I created a slideshow along with videos explaining the learning for each slide during our 'create' time today. I'll be using this in the classroom tomorrow and I'm sure many kids will benefit from the video support.
