DEVICES- DFI Week 7

Daily Reflection 

Today was another successful day of DFI, we got to explore the devices that our students use daily. I found today to be a big help and a massive eye opener to how Chromebooks work. I have often found myself unsure on what to do when asked how to complete a certain command using a Chromebook. I am really excited to take what I have learned today and utilise it to help my students to make their learning more efficient.

Be internet awesome, be internet brave, be internet kind, be internet smart. Being proactive online, empowering young people and teachers within our community. When learning is accessible being cybersmart empowers our learners to harness technology in a smart and clever way. Being cybersmart allows young people to engage in online behaviour that is positive. Harness the language used in the kawa of care to encourage positive behaviour online. Cybersmart is at its best when it is embedded into existing programs. It is really important to use the correct kupu when discussing how to use and behave online/ digital technologies. This will help children become accountable to maintaining a smart footprint.

Hapara Teacher Dashboard- Dorothy

Digital Dig- Using Chromebooks 

I found this session really helpful as I am often asked to help students with their chromebooks. Being someone who has personally never used a chromebook I was able to learn a lot. I cannot wait to be able to used this new learning with my students. Below is a copy of my Digital Dig slides. We also looked at iPads, this is the chosen device for junior students 

and had a play with Explain Everything. I really enjoyed using this app and the features that come with it. It provides such an awesome platform for students to share and talk about their work as they are doing it or once it is complete. 

Create 

For our create task today we had to make a screen castify of one of the Cybersmart lessons from the manaikalani site. I chose to use the Smart Surfers lesson. When then had to record ourselves talking about the lesson and how we could use this in our own classroom. Here is mine:
