I have learned that I need to be practising with my class of how to facilitate things I'm implementing. ie, google meet, screencastify, google slides etc I need to think about my learners that are frequently absent from school, find out the reasons of why they are missing out, and think about how I can best support them when they are not at school. It's important to have rewindable learning for students so they can watch and listen, along with face to face interaction with learning.
I learned that I need to encourage learners to be a confident decision makers online to make smart decisions. A digital citizenship curriculum needs to be provided for learners. Learners need to be engaged and internet smart. They need to focus on positive language. They need to know what's happening in their space.
Learners need to be cybersmart of what they leave behind (footprint), and how they engage with each other online (relationships). They need to remember what they are sharing and not sharing.
I am able to implement cybersmart with my learners and engage in discussions to make them fully aware of how to be internet awesome.
Talofa Helen, great work on creating your screencast and embedding this on your blog post. YAYYY! Have you shared your Smartfootprint DLO with your class? I hope you have because it is such a vital part of being Cybersmart. Just keep on moving ahead and implementing what you are learning at our DFI days in your practice. The more you do this, the more confidence you will have in utilising digital tools in your classroom. See you on Thursday.
