Digital Fluency Intensive #2 - Workflow




Our Create task today is to conduct a Hangout conversation with a small group from our DFI cohort.
Our theme for discussion is to identify and reflect on the components of AKO we find in a student post from the Summer Learning Journey. I found the Fantastic Beasts posts really creative and wanted to share this one in our Hangout discussion.

I like how the practise task related to our discussions around what effective learning looks like from this morning. I also think it's worthwhile to practise using hangouts to get more comfortable using the video conferencing. It can be a little disorienting going between your presentation mode to screen sharing and then back again. You also you have to manage your mic - turning it off in a larger group conversation until you want to speak.

I used Quicktime to record our video conference, however as I'm still learning there's no sound on the recording. So I've bullet pointed my reflection on Bella's blog post.


  • Learning intention identified by learner.
  • Engaging digital resources provided - great literacy / arts connection.
  • Learner is inspired to create her own Fantastic Beast
  • She is empowered by selecting her own medium - creative writing
  • Uses rich descriptive language - inspired by texts provided
  • Her teacher comments and gives feedback for extension.
  • She's connected to other learners who also completed this task in other creative ways as they leave her comments.

Notes:


Ako: digital fluency teachers need to know how to use the tools, have good systems in place, THEN focus can be on learning.

  1. Kia ora Jenna, great reading your post. Technical difficulties are fine and we all get them. I think that we aren't professional producers of video content, so that our videos aren't perfect is absolutely alright. You also found another way to share the important messages from the blog. Hangouts are really useful and I am sure you will find many innovative ideas for using them. There are a few tricks with the screen sharing and mic. If you have attended a Manaiakalani Online Toolkit you will be aware that every presenter has a 'wingperson' just to help make sure the session goes smoothly from the presenters perspective. Maybe you could think of offering an Online Toolkit in the future?
