Today Dorothy spoke about Ubiquitous learning. Removing Barriers: having young people expand opportunities. Back in the day school was between 9-3 but now thanks to rewindable learning and choice people can learn anytime, any pace and anywhere.
This learning worked well when covid hit us and everyone had to work from home. Today we focused on other children's devices with Ipads, Chromebooks, Explain everything and Screencastify (Which I enjoyed) Although I use Ipads in my Year 2 class I did enjoy having the opportunity having a play with Chromebooks and I did enjoy the Digital Dig and keyboard shortcuts were really useful.
We also looked at Cybersmart. The importance of it in the classroom. Our brief for the afternoon was to CREATE a screen recording talking through a lesson. This was just a snapshot. I covered Smart relationships/ Quality blogging comments. As I was wanting my learners to become more engaged with this process.
I really enjoyed the session today as I got to try Screencastify- I chose not to turn my camera on, I just recorded my voice. Below is what I managed to record,



Hi Heidi,
ReplyDeleteI agree screencastify is a game-changer when paired with effective teaching.
