Above is a video using Google Meet that we made comments on. Next Time I look forward to using Google Meet so I can practice recording my comments.

HAIKU Poem in summary of my learning 

• GOOGLE CALENDAR
• HAPARA WE NEED TO GET
• GOOGLE MEET RECORD

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

• It was very interesting listening to the kaupapa and understanding of the acronym R.A.T.E . (Recognise, Amplify, Turbocharge, Effective Practise) as YES all professional educators need to continue to grow and develop their practice, to keep up to date with current digital content students are using.
•  A wondering I have is, how does our Pasifika/Pacific families warm to seeing visually the acronym R.A.T.E?.. as it may come across as “payrate” or what’s your rate?.. is their a connection between the kaupapa and the audience?

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

• Google Keep will be a great tool for when I need to write a check list for the responsibilities I am involved with, especially during end of year term events and checking teachers reports.
• Using Google calendar to support the different events and activities we have within the school and community.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

• Google meet: using this tool will be fantastic for my LSC and outside agencies meetings. Especially when it links to my Google calendar.

• Google calendar: visually connecting all my meetings, events is a user friendly tool I can clearly see what’s on top for me.
• Google Keep:absolutely looking forward to implementing this tool not only in my professional work life but personally too. I use to always write down “to do lists” but now this tool will become a very useful day to day check list!
• Google Gmail: creating “VIP” labels in order of priority will be awesome for me as I like to make sure that I have replied back to them. I liked how you can schedule emails being sent, and add on privacy settings.
• Uploading and embedding a video on to my blog would definitely be an exciting tool to share with my students and colleagues as it’s a fun way to record comments and reflections.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

• Using the different Google Tools (Google Meet, Google Keep, Google Calendar and Google Gmail) throughout this week has definitely been a time saver! I have been enjoying using the shortcuts on the keyboard to go in between the applications.
• I have implemented my meetings/events/activities and set up Google Meet sessions using Google Calendar. Sharing with my sister my personal Google Calendar and setting up Google Meets  has been a great way for us to connect as she has recently moved to 🇮🇹 Italy.
