What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional
I learned to create a poster in google docs by inserting tables, selecting page size,
margin sizes, and page colours. I also used the explore button to search for pictures and clip art (free images), explore also cites references.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I liked the idea of putting your own initials at the start of your new doc before the heading (makes it easier to search by initials). I would also use voice typing to help students practice their reading skills and then go through and learn to proofread their work.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability, or workflow in my personal life?
I learned to have more confidence in myself and to just take a minute to breathe!!- At the start, I was very apprehensive and felt I was holding our bubble group up by asking so many questions. Vicki was very calming and understood that I am a total beginner at using Google.
My first session in DFI had its issues due to problems with my chrome book and poor internet connection, this was frustrating for me as I could hear Dorothy talking but could not see her online sharing as my screen froze for long periods of time. I had a lot of help from Ange (teacher at Grey High) and Vicki my facilitator who showed a lot of patience and understanding. Even though today was daunting, my goal is to see this course through to the end knowing that this will be a huge benefit to me so that I can then share what I have learned with our amazing students at Grey High.
The main thing I learned today was how to create a google doc and then taking a screenshot so then I was able to post this on my blog!..so I'm stoked as!!

Good on you Lyn. Your perseverence has paid off and your DLO (Digital Learning Object) looks great. Having difficulties makes us understand why some of our students struggle, but hopefully you will have better luck next week. I'm super impressed that you went home and had a bit of a play too. I look forward to catching you again on Friday.
