(don’t need a modelling book anymore.  Students can access a digital modelling book wherever they are)

Edu creations - doesn’t need uploading and downloading

Sharing Powerpoint - 

• Vicki went over the sharing powerpoint.  (show slide 5 MK pedagogy)

Having an audience for their writing suddenly changes the motivation of their writing.  This concept of having an audience should be first and foremost in their minds to motivate their writing.  (see slide 8)

Why we use blogging.  This is not twitter, facebook or another social media.  It’s illegal for children under the age of 13 to use social media).  The blog accounts are all set up under the school email address, so the school owns the blogging in order to have administrator rights on the account. - (see slide 11)

• One of the bg motivators for students is to know that they are going to share their work with an authentic audience.  Good to put work up on their blogs so they get an authentic audience. (see slide 13)
• (see slide 16) if sharing is happening and working really well, students should be posting regularly on their blogs.  The impact of published work is happening more often and there is more time for children to interact, and so the goal for their work isn’t lost over a long period of time.
• (see slide 17, 18) most students really like sharing their work.  
• (see slide 18) Would highly recommend reading Simon Scotts blog on doing blogging in the classroom.  
• (see slide 19) have a look at other teachers sharing at what they are doing in the classroom
• See slide 21 - data gathering can be a fantastic maths lesson to do with the students

Live streaming link - Kent Somerville

• See slide 2 - showing a cross country race that can be streamed overseas in live streaming.  Parents can see the video either in the moment or later on.
• See slide 3 - fantastic camera to use like a tv camera
• See slide 4 - connected through HDMI.  This gadget provides a broadcast for videos.  Does require WIFI or can be hard wired into the device. Teradek - Vidiu
• See Slide 5 - can create an event on live YOUTUBE
• See slide 12 - filming can also be done through a ipad, which connects to the boradcasting gadget, that connects to the camera.  So there can be 2 cameras being used just like a broadcast room.
• Make sure THE SCHOOL HAS TO WORK OUT HOW YOUTUBING WILL BE MANAGED
• Using a drone - camera has 4000 pixels which is really good

Website link at the top by the title - creating your own youtube channel - Kent Somerville

• Creating a youtube channel and playlist - the playlist can be embedded into our google
• If we have a google email address it automatically gives us a google channel
• Straight out of the student’s drive you can embed and create links.  We can control the student’s drive SO EVERYTHING THE VIDEO NEEDS TO GO STRAIGHT TO THEIR DRIVE
• Open youtube, top right hand corner, where my google channel account should be sitting
• Anytime we google youtube it will start to build a profile about what we like to watch.  Youtube will start suggesting what we might want to see.
• Top right menu click ‘My Channel’ it shows my dashboard.  It will show any channels that I have saved, any playlists, downloaded apps
• Can customise ‘my channel’ in order to make it interesting.  
• Can create a playlist from youtube to go with your inquiry studies so students can access your channel and therefore access the youtube videos you have selected
• The whole playlist can be embedded into a document or class website
• Youtube can be used really well to support your teaching and therefore they can create, learn and share
• How to create a playlist in youtube - go into ‘search’ bar at the top, click the video you want to maybe add to a playlist, at the bottom of the video there is an ‘add’ button that has a ‘=+’ picture.  Should get a drop down menu with options
• Live streaming (left hand menu) - this is the centre that allows my drone camera to show what it is filming.  
• Live streaming can be created as an event using the left hand side of the menu OR can be streamed live without going to left hand menu. - Go to CREATIVE STUDIO, click LIVE STREAMING, click EVENTS, click CAMERA, click PRIVATE so you can check the video first before it going PUBLIC.
• Video Manager - shows all the playlists that you have created.  A public playlist will show a picture of the world.  NOW everyone can access it
• Playlists - can change the order of the videos by grabbing them and moving them around with your mouse. Clock ‘edit’ and ‘share’ is in the middle.  The share option will provide a link for you to send to the children.
• To test what the world or children can see push ‘control, shift, n’.  It will come up with an ‘incognito screen’ in order for you to be able to see what can be seen by the public.  ALWAYS CHOOSE EMBED INSTEAD OF SHARE, so the students only go to the playlists you have created and not get lost on youtube.
• How to embed the playlist - click CREATIVE STUDIO, click MY PLAYLISTS, choose the playlist by clicking EDIT, click EDIT again, should show you options (PLAY, SHARE, PLAYLIST SETTINGS).  Click SHARE, click EMBED, copy URL address, go to MY BLOG and post by pasting URL address onto paste
• If kids are creating then ALWAYS USE GOOGLE DRIVE so it can be controlled

Google Drawing under chalk’n’talk  powerpoint - Vicki

• Went over the powerpoint and showed us how to do a lot of the features on the powerpoint slide 3
• Practiced doing a ‘button’ About Me using google draw.  When the drawing is complete click ‘file’, download as a png, save to a file or downloads for you to access when posting to blog.
• Go onto the  ‘blogger’ square at the top left.  Click to get a drop down menu, click layout, click ‘add a new gadget’ scroll down to ‘image’.  Should come up with a menu to fill in. fill in with a name and then upload image from where it was saved

Google slides - Kent Somerville

• Can be used for animation.  Can manipulate the animation onto another APP like movie maker or imovies, in order to add voice over or change the presentation of the animation.

Broke off into 3 groups - youtube playlist, google draw and google slides

• Vicki showed the digital modelling book and planning that she used for her classroom
• See agenda for template
• Looked at ‘TEACHER TOOLS’ which has videos for the kids to watch how to solve maths problems.  This runs in line with the NZ maths curriculum.
• Looked at ‘SCREEN CASTIFY’ that records voice, etc onto animated slides
