As a class we critique each others sites-The purpose was to up-skill and improve our sites because
sometimes we cannot see what needs to be worked on. Important to be professional and practice giving and
receiving feedback-It can be daunting and something I used to dislike but am getting used to-It is important
because it has a big impact on future students.
The three things I have to work on are creating buttons/links, access of content needs to be public and
finding out how I can upload a video clip of my class to my site. To do- Download Google Drive, because
it allows me to go into a folder select photos and videos and upload straight from my phone. Minus-Is that
I lost my debit card but quickly learnt that I can use a prezi card or i-tunes to download apps that are free.
Thanks for the tip Gerard, that was the most frustrating part for me was not being able to upload it to my site.
- Da Button Factory-Creates buttons for site/efficient/Easy
Thanks Lee Ann for the tip, it really helped and it is not as time consuming as I thought it would be. I actually killed three birds with one stone and it was with the help of my peers in my class. I find out I need to make most of the content visible to the public not just Tamaki College. Secondly, I revised over how to make buttons/links on my site, have not made any changes yet but it will be done!!
- Google Keep-Take a photo of a script/info and it will transfer to google word.
The highlight of my day was this treasure, I learnt how useful this app could be and especially because I can be so forgetful. I like how I can use it for my to-do list or shopping list or setting up work for students. Best part is that it can be used like a library :))
Have a good weekend folks!! See you next week, I'm out!!
Talofa Kalesha, Thanks for sharing your learning. I had a play with da button factory. It is quick and limited in shape and background. I think I will stick with google drawings as I find cropping images to a shape really useful. When we were looking at your site I thought of this site I created with L1 learners in mind. You are welcome to use anything from it. Let me know what you think. https://sites.google.com/core-ed.ac.nz/gardenwithscience/home

Yes, that is the downfall of using da button factory. Good for you Maria, I was thinking of combining both of them together but if you are in a rush it is an ideal temporary option but not a permanent one. Agreed , dislike that we cannot insert pictures with it, to represent what topic is about and draw the user in. Thanks Maria, I will make use of it and grab a few ideas to improve my site.
DeleteKia Orana Kalesha, I really enjoy google keep the list are reuseable. (No extra work setting it up each time you need a note or reminder. I like how you can take a photo and have google turn it into text we can use else where.
ReplyDeleteSame here! I really like how you can make a shopping/to-do list and how it can be connected to your phone to notify us of things that need to be done. Most of all, I like how it can used to the students advantage especially when preparing for exams. You can youtube videos up and pictures.
