One of the key pieces of learning I took away from today is the idea that learning, creating and sharing can happen simultaneously. I particularly like the notion that valuable learning can occur during the sharing process both for the person sharing and people viewing what is being shared.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
I really enjoyed Khismira's session with the Ipads. I had previously heard of Explain Everything but as my students use Chromebooks had never explored it. It is a great tool that I plan on using within my reading programme.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I am going to include creating a Screencastify task within my weekly reading contracts. This will involve my students recording themselves reading each of their texts aloud.
Exploring Hapara has made me realise that there is a lot of work that my students have not filed correctly. I really like Dorothy's idea of doing a weekly checks of any unshared documents. I will try this from next week.
Hi Jess, I am sure your students are really enjoying using Screencastify. Have you noticed any difference between their first Screencastify and their most recent one in terms of reading fluency?
