DFI Session 2 31st July 2020

Digital Intensiveness - Another day that was jam packed full of focus and new learnings. I enjoyed hearing and being reminded of the R = Recognise A = Amplify T = Turbo Charge E = Effective practice I am reminded of things like coding and using interactive videos to help learners gain better understandings - Transforming the way we learn by offering new experiences. Google Meets - It was great to practice the skills of using these throughout the day - I must admit I was a bit flustered at times ( Kelsey was great in guiding me to the right place when necessary - Thanks!) Recording meetings was a helpful tool - Sharing screens in different ways was also helpful to know and practice. I enjoyed learning about Google KEEP - this was a new app for me - and definitely something to try at School, and in everyday life. Looking at Gmail was enlightening - learning new tricks like scheduling emails at different times as well as setting it up better was great. Google Calendar is something that I would like to use better after this session -again it is something that needs to be used regularly to be easy and effective. I fould ONE TAB a brilliant addition to my Chrome extensions - I am one of those people that sometimes finds 30 odd tabs open - so this will be a helpful addition to my organisation. It was great to get an easy explanation about embedding videos onto a Blog post - I have found this hard in the past. Generally, today was interesting, well paced, and beneficial to me as a learner, and as a teacher.
