DFI Session 7 - Devices

8.00 Started off the Session with Karakia followed by

8.05: Fiona - Cybersmart

Today in our Create session I was able to take something from the morning session Cybersmart and use the screencastify tool to record and implememnet the pedagogy and information for my class.
There was a take 1 as a test to see if I could adlib, unfortunately I needed a script and to also have my tabs open for the screencastifying.
How to screencastify?
Go to the icon which is at the right hand corner of screen. If I want to show the screen then I play record while on the screen projecting. Once I have stopped recording then I should wait until the recording is completed so that it can download into the Screencastify Folder in my Drive. To embed I must open the video, click on the 3 dots, drop down window will have get embed code item. Copy and paste into blog. New blog post. Add text first then add embed. Html - Compose.

It is always good for students to know where to start from as a benchmark that things can only get better.






Second attempt at Explaining Everything Essentially
To use this on whiteboard we were asked to complete the EE task from Gerhard's presentation google slide. To place onto my blog I would need to check my Gmail. Look for the 3 dots, embed code, cut n paste HTML then Compose.

Some key messages from both recording and with my students in mind that they are going through times of changes, physically, socially and emotionally and always need some guidelines to help them make some smart options or decisions when faced with challenges. We have been working on Being Kind, Transdisciplinary Values, Attitude. Here are some of the Smart Values from Manaiakalani.

Time to reflect and share with colleagues

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Cybersmart was very interesting for me and the fact that there was a lot of this in the Manaikalani kaupapa.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Using screencastify in my lessons and being able to do more videos to explain different tools.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners? Applying the SMART tools that were covered today and be able to remind my learners the options they have with smart values, smart relationships and smart surfing. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? I learnt that everything is possible if you put your mind to it. Hapara is a useful tool that I need to use more to improve my confidence in my workflow. Sometimes as a reminder of putting myself in the learners shoes when discovering new things.
