DFI Create Using Docs

Here is the link to the Google Doc

DFI 1. Core Business, Friday Online Term 3 Cohort : 2020

I've learnt today that students are wanting to create things in this digital world and that they also want to share their learning to a wider audience. They are more engaged with a modern platform which in turn raises student achievement!

I learnt so much today!

• I've updated my Google profile and created nicknames for the different Google profiles I have to make them easily identifiable.
• All about Google groups (permission is required from the principal, for example, as the creator has access to all the email addresses in the group)
• My Google drive is organised - still needs a bit of tidying up.
• My share settings have been sorted now with one quick move - by moving all my folders into a 2020 folder and making that folder shareable to anyone who has the link.
• I know how to change my share settings so that slides or documents cannot be copied or printed - this is useful for learners as sometimes they make copies of the incorrect document.
• I can't wait to use the Chrome extension of Record to Slides
• 
  
• 

• This will be great for my learners who struggle to follow the intructions they nhave to read on a Learn Create Share. Instructions and learnign becomes rewindable!
• The session on Google Documents was so useful - the way to teach students on how to start out creating a document within a folder. 
• Adding titles and a table of contents means that students only need use one document which can be dated all all of their writing work.
• Using a url link to give students access to a particular paragraph
• To take advantage of voice typing for those students who are reluctant or struggle to write.
• Creating posters on Google Docs is possible! 
• Tools, EXPLORE is the way to go for making sure that anything that is copy and pasted is correctly referenced.
• Using Ctrl shift V to ensure all formatting is stripped
• Inserting images and making them more streamlined and looking better by using the Remove.bg - Remove backgrounds from images
• I found the Eyes on Text - Reading Mileage very valuable for students who need to read everyday and it is a great way to monitor their progress.

• I still need to:
• create better habits to help me manage my work flow which will in turn benefit my personal life. 
• A better work-life balance 
• A way to show all the learning I have done and a way to show all the teaching I have done!
