Google Drawing

Google Slide

Today I have had a chance to use google draw and google slides 

Both of these examples are easily transferable to use with my students.  They could both be used as a teaching tool or they students could present their work to share with others.  I also tidied my tool bar and cleaned up my google drive.  These opportunities were so valuable not only have time with experts but also having so many "tricks" about how to be more efficient when using this tool instead of just muddling through by trial and error.  I am feeling way more confident to persevere and eliminate to get to where I need to be.

The Manaiakalani pedagogy regarding what create means as a New Zealand teacher was very refreshing.  As a teacher of New Entrant children we can often be left out of the loop when it comes to updating our skills.  I feel our young children are such a huge factor of being naturally confident when creating.
