The first part of the session focussed on Manaiakalani itself. It was great to have more of an insight about how it started out and where it came from.
I enjoyed learning all the little tips and trick Dorothy showed us using Google Docs. I was pleasantly surprised at what I could do with Google Docs to make a poster as Google Slides is usually my go-to for this. Using tables and making the lines the same colour is a clever way of ordering the space. I will take this learning back to my class, which will give them another option for publishing their work. Check out what I created below...
Another first, was finding out about the Add-Ons in Google Docs. I can see that quite a few of them will be useful in our classroom - Draftback, Word Cloud and Doc to Form especially. We already use Speak to Text in our classroom, but I'm really keen to use it for my less able readers as a tool for reading.
Overall, I have learned a lot of useful things that I can use in my classroom. I'm looking forward to our next session!
