What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Sharing has been around since time began and takes many forms, these forms have advanced over time and now have a much greater audience range. An import key point I took out of this was that sharing is not the end of the learn, create, share cycle and that it is essential to have an authentic audience.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Google forms
Learning about this was great, and will come in very handy going forward. I had used Google Forms quite a bit previously but had never made my own. I created a lockdown 2.0 survey and sent it to staff to see how they are going. This will be great for parent involvement and input.
Google Sheets
I do most of my planning on Google Sheets but I still found this deep dive very handy for a couple of new tips and tricks.
Was great to have the time to have a play around on Google Sheets adding up test scores and finding the average. Filtering data will make life a lot easier when we are looking at whole hub data in curriculum areas or even by birthdate. Had lots of fun playing around with this.
Blog Analysis
This would be great to gather data on engagement within student blogs. However my children don not have their own blogs and therefore this isn't a skill I would engage with often. But still great to know how to do it and show this to our senior teachers who use student blogs all the time.
Anna,
ReplyDeletegood to hear that this session added to your knowledge of Sheets and you have extra uses for this as well as Forms.
Great work with the graph and blog analysis and as you say - the more senior classes might find this a great way to get into using data and analysing it.
