An amazing amount of learning happening again today as part of session four in our Manaiakalani DFI. Although I have been using Google Slides for quite some time, I was astonished, once again, by learning new applications to use with this Google app.
The main points were:
-keeping slides simple with a minimum of information
-not to use templates, be creative with your slides
-slides can be used to create simple animations
I can't wait to try the animations with my students! A simple idea that could be an effective way to engage students and have fun! Another way to be creative with our learning!
You Tube
I had already created a You Tube channel when I was attending The Mindlab PD. I had never used my channel. I learned an incredible amount of information about this digital tool today and I can't wait to create playlists! I have already created one playlist to use on my Google Site about our Survival topic for this term. I particularly like the safety that this creates for our students, allowing them to access the video you want them to watch. Video is a great way for our students to show their learning,
Google Drawing
The star of the digital tools today was Google Drawing. There are so may uses...comic strips, drawing, info graphics, posters and 'how to' instructions. I have seldom used Google drawing but I will definitely be using this on my Google Site
