I have increased my knowledge of devices and the digital area of teaching. I have gained in confidence with the technology available in the classroom and this will help with teaching my young students the advantages of using their devices.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this course and would recommend it to others. I will enjoy using my new found knowledge in the classroom.

Devices - Ipads/Chromebooks/Screencastify

We had fun with chromebooks and Ipads - using the devices the way our students do in class.

We also had fun with screencastify ...

Classroom site

I am discovering ways of adding and improving information on a classroom site.  This is our classroom site Te Waipuna o Tamaki:

There were several classroom sites which worked really well that we looked at ... some of which are included below:

Te Ana Ako - Waikowhai school

Panmure bridge school - LS2

Pt England School - Room 18

I had a practice by adding a new hidden page - Leanne's sandpit - with our shared classroom site Te Waipuna o Tamaki

Websites - Life Processes & Cinderella- Leanne and Anjila

Creating websites is fun - see our attempts at Life Processes (Dinosaurs and Recycling) ... and Cinderella!

Creating Forms

Enjoyed working with forms ... had fun making a form about holiday destinations.  This will be very handy in the classroom with my students!

Camel animation

Had fun creating a camel animation ... could have spent all day on this and given him more character ... but I think he's cool

My tabs have also had a clean up ... I had too many tabs open so they are now sorted more effectively using Toby Mini

And One Tab
