An example of this would be the strong partnership developed between whānau and schools in the very beginning of the introduction of digital devices within schools. I had no idea that parents and whānau were asked how much they could afford to contribute to their child's access to a device or how whānau and students could see Saint Kentigerns over the river and hoped to have similar access to technology.
After today in my professional workflow I will be making sure that I always set up new folders as share with anyone with the link and only change this with documents that I don't want visible to all. I will also be taking the short-cut of Shift z with me where I can add shared items to my drive where I want rather than move (so that the file doesn't then move for others who have access to the file).
I was also made aware of 'Voice Typing' in 'Tools'. I am excited to use this with some of my students - especially those who have great ideas but that struggle with writing.
Another tool that I discovered today was 'explore' at the bottom of documents where you can complete web, images or doc searches.
To finish our day we had to create a visual poster or news letter. I chose to make a poster as an example to my students of the learning that we have been focusing on this week in maths. we were advised to set up as A5 so that it can been seen on our screen and to use tools to set up tables to keep our images where we want them to be. Another tip was to search transparent png or to remove back ground from images 'remove.bg'. When we were happy with our design we removed the black table lines by going to 'format table'
Here is the poster that I designed today.
I am looking forward to next weeks session.
