Blog away

Blugger away! Today we had a day packed with even more learning activities. What I am taking away today is the new knowledge in calendar management and embed videos on my blog, this gives me new tools to share with my students and share with them my own learning experiences and as Kerry said, "It never ends"

The video we recorded was based on a blog that somebody else created and shared with us. In my personal case I just choose one randomly and it happened to be about a boy that got creative during lockdown.

 

Different labels, filters (not from insta) for everything makes life easier. categorizing emails and selecting what is more important in the IN tray. In a nutshell, there are many different tools that can make life easier for a professional being but can also seamlessly move to a normal non background as Venessa explained with her example from Goggle KEEP.

HERE WE GO!

Today started like any other day, I woke up, kissed my wife and children good morning, got ready for the day and jumped in my car. That was just the beginning Of my nine weeks journey that I embarked on with 3 of my colleagues. Intros done and dusted, protocols ticked one by one. Powhiri by TE TOKA WHAKAKOTAHI Marae in the Bay of Islands College. Back to the classroom, little nerves as I haven't been in a classroom as a student in over 20 years, great start and great support from the Manaiakalani team. A good attitude and openness to my questions created a relaxed environment for me to learn.

This journey will take me all over Te tai tokerau up and down we go!

The day was packed with activities and new knowledge as well a couple of laughs and some serious moments. Great start all over!

One of the many things we learnt during this session was “How to erase backgrounds from pictures to be used across google platform, brilliant little (huge) gadget to have handy at all times. Working collaboratively as well across docs and assigning tasks in google docs was very helpful. 

Utilizing the Explore tool from docs is a fantastic tool, also using the quotes tools will be of huge benefit for senior students

I think that it will be difficult to narrow it down to one thing, this is the beginning of my journey and this is just the intro to more aspects of the Google life.
