This is my reflection on Day 1 of the Digital Fluency Intensive. While looking forward to getting started in this DFI, I wasn't sure of how useful it would be, for me and my teaching. It was great to pick-up tips, tricks and new ideas on how to do new things and do old things better!
I have created a new "google group" for sports at Parkview Pārua school to keep the teachers involved and the teachers of students involved in sports happenings both in-school and inter-school. I think this will be useful to get information out efficiently to those who need it, rather than having them have to find the information in shared docs etc.
Another tip I found useful was using the Headings/Normal text functions and the table of contents. This was always a pain scrolling through docs - meeting minutes etc. to find the information I needed. I will definitely be sharing this with staff at Parkview help with organising docs. I have adapted the Doc I use for my writing groups to incorporate this feature. Click on the image below to have a look, and use if you like it.
I will use the link to the master table and copy and paste that at the top each session and add the current date as a heading to make each days writing easy to find.
Other tips from today that I will be following up on, are some of the extensions shared with us.
I am looking forward to next week.
Hi Murray, it is very cool that you have learnt many new tip from today's session and are looking forward to the next DFI.
