Digital Fluency Reflection Week 1

Dorothy talked through the history of the Manaiakalani trust and how Manaiakalani came about. We discussed how learn, create, share came about and how it is being used in different contexts.

We learnt how to efficiently use google docs and to create different headings to better help sort information on a doc. Dorothy introduced us to different add ons that she uses to help enhance not only the way she uses google docs but also enhances the way learners can use google docs.

The most important thing I learnt for my learners was how to paste without pasting over formatting as that is something my learners struggle with when copying things over into their blogs.

I also learnt how to create posters using google docs which would be great for my children to use as part of their create portion or their learning.

  1. Kia ora Rianna, really good to see you at the first DFI day. I really like how you can choose Apps and Extensions to add to Docs that specifically suit the way that you like to work, so you end up having a lot of control of how Docs works for you. I'm going to make a short video reminding everyone about how to 'paste' to remove formatting, so that blog posts can look really slick when 'cut/paste' from elsewhere is needed. See you next time.

  2. Hi Rianna, It was great to meet you this week and to hear a little of your teaching experience here and overseas. You are already digitally fluent, so it is very interesting to me to see which things resonated with you and reminded, informed or just nudged you to implement with your learners.

    I will be following this blog with interest

    Dorothy
