Session 1: Google Save and Explore: Digital Fluency Intensive

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

As a teacher, knowledge in using Doc is important. Some of the issues have been addressed in today's DFI workshop. More digital knowledge makes me a better digital teacher as it creates more teaching time for my students. I won't be wasting time searching in google HELP/youtube or asking my students how to perform a particular function on the Doc. I am doing my children a disservice when I lack this knowledge and it does not reflect well on me as a professional. I'm pleased to have been chosen to do this course.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

I learnt to use various functions on Doc. I knew about them, but didn't know how to use them nor know their purpose, also I lacked confidence.

Particularly useful for my teaching are table of contents, bookmark, back to top, outline, explore and pasting without formatting from a website.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

When my students are collaborating on a Doc, the Table of Contents, Title and Headings, Bookmark and Back to Top are functions that I will teach asap.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

I would probably use google save as I am slowly running out of google data space on my personal drive.
