PLD July 10 2018

What was useful/significant to me?

- Judy-Anne set up a site for putting together a playlist using you tube videos.  This now has all things required for assembly preparation that students can use and add to.

- Looked further at managing comments  on google docs and learnt how to lock certain docs for editing when providing instructions to class.  Suggesting/edit/viewing mode when sharing.  Steve has also set up a group to enable us to email shared docs to whole class.

- Using the whole school planning template now in teachers shared folder.  This will be helpful with me and Steve working together with our planning as we can add to it things such as what students need support or where we left off when we are in the class.

What I am finding challenging?

Still finding the process for sharing photos easily with the whole class rather complicated but are still covering this today.

See saw - still to come

Management of learning in class - need more practice with the systems in class to get this down pact.

  Where are my class/myself next steps?

Continue to practice using these systems

Put class rules/routines up on display in the class 

Continue to have students teach each other new skills as they learn them.

Work on managing comments (marking) even spending 5 minutes at break going through these to keep up to date.

Teacher Only Days - 9/10 July 2018

Reflection on progress

What learning was useful/significant for me

It is always useful to spend time actually trying out stuff we are learning about so it was useful for me to spend some time playing with the long term plan template, merging cells, changing headings and titles etc. Still lots to do on it but have made a start and Steve knows what he is doing with it so help is readily available.

It was also good to have a look at photos and how they are stored in the two different places- so all of them should be in one of those places.

A little extra playing also got photos I wanted into blog posts - it appears I should needed to go further into the web pages to get to the actual picture.

It was interesting to go further into sites to increase what I had started with the songs for assembly. Hadn't really considered it being a web page so quite exciting to think we have made a web page!

What am I finding challenging…

I found the comments bit challenging as I don't do this very often and part way through a comment my cursor moved so I was in the wrong place. I didn't notice so it became difficult to fix.

Time to play is always a challenge.

Tend to feel 'behind' so mindset is a challenge

What are my and/or my class’s next steps...

Play further with the long term template
Figure out how to get my videos to work on blogger
Add more videos to the Hui Songs site

TBCS - Craig - Reflection Day 1 PLD - July 2018

Reflection on progress

1. What learning was useful/significant for me

• Organising photos and sharing photos from ipad and making a shared Room 3 Google Photo site that gives everyone access.
• Commenting on Google Docs which will be really useful when I am helping my students in their writing.
• Lock certain docs that I share with people so they can only comment and not change. Wont work if it is in the team drive so not helpful with the class as we are only using a team drive.
• Suggestion mode and how it is different to commenting which can be really helpful if students are working together or helping each other..
• Planning template from Rod which keeps all planning in one Google sheet. Long term, Terms, Weeks etc with with links to everything else.
• Community of Learning and Member Hangout which I have just been added to and look forward to doing the courses and becoming more confident.
• How to change profile picture.
• Google sites.
• Make collage or animations from Google Photos.

1. What am I finding challenging…

• The idea that nothing is well done. There is always something you could have added or done better, or extended etc.

1. What are my and/or my class’s next steps...

• Use commenting to help my students when I am helping them with their writing.
• Do the courses in Rob's Community of Learning.
• Teach my students how to access and use photos.
• Keep imputing on the Tasman Bay Christian Resources site to make Assembly easier.
• Use and prepare the planning sheet.
• Have a play and make another Google site.
