I really enjoyed hearing the Manaiakalani origin story. I now have a clearer understanding of the motivations behind the project. I love the Learn, create, share philosophy. It was so evident in the way the whole DFI ran. A super simple principle and easy to replicate the format in classrooms. It was great to experience it first hand!
I found the Marie Kondo session really helpful. It was great to get some tips about how to organise my Drive effectively. Getting systems set up properly right from the beginning will help me work more efficiently and save me so much time in future!
It was great to find out about some of the extra google doc functions. I was especially excited about being introduced to Explore as a way of sourcing copyright free images. This is something that I think will be very useful with students. I also loved the use of the remove.bg website to help remove backgrounds from images and videos! This would be a really user friendly alternative to green screens.
I’ve already put my new learning into practice to create a manual for our nanny to help share information about the kid’s routines and timetables so that my transition to work goes as smoothly as possible!
Kia ora Fiona,
ReplyDeleteIt is so great to have you doing the DFI as you begin your new role. Your comment comparing the state of your Drive to your wardrobe in your infographic made me laugh out loud! I look forward to colour coded tabs!
Kia ora Fiona,
ReplyDeleteI love your infographic! Such a great way to capture those key things from the day! And yes, if you can get your folders sorted in a logical way from the beginning it will make things so much easier for you. Your headings in your doc for your nanny sound super useful!
