What jumped out to me this week during the 'Learn' component of today's DFI was the quote "Any teacher who can be replaced by a computer... should be." I thought this was spot on as it's great teaching along with digital affordances that lead to accelerated learning.
I am looking forward to using Toby Mini to help with my workflow. I have already made two collections that will help with my classroom planning! Toby Mini looks like a great solution to having too many tabs open! With an aging Macbook and too many tabs open, the ring of death is inevitable!
With the uncertainty of the implications that Covid-19 could have on schools, learning more about Google Hangouts/Meet today gave me a little more knowledge about options to ensure learning continues.
I too loved your above quote, for teachers to realise they are the ones that cause learning to happen not the technology.
ReplyDeleteClaire you have taken a tool today and used it effectively to oragnise your tabs, already you have made yourself more efficient with time.
Your command of google will enable you to be a leader in home learning with impending school closures, good luck.
Evening Claire, thank you for today. I am glad you see the importance of what we do as teachers in more than what people can learn from a computer. With out the personal we lose the essence of our job. Even through hangouts we can provide students with value face to face time to enhance learning.
