4. Dealing with Data

Sharing

• Share to Learn - looking for feedback/reflection
• Share to Finish Learning - Sharing pushes kids to complete tasks (ABC - always be closing)

My Maps

• Importing data (xls)
• Route optimization / deliveries

Sheets

• The extension session was great. I thought Sparkline was cute. 

Experimenting with overlaying two types of chart.

Looking at Manvi's blog posts shows that he is an erratic producer of blogs. He has worked in clusters or flurries of activity but not consistenly through the 4 years. I am guessing this could be related to his workflow, behaviour etc. A deep dive might be able to show what type of posts he preferred or the activities related to the high activity months. This might give some clues towards engaging Manvi. Two of the most productive months clearly relate to COVID19 lockdowns. 

Zooming out didnt' really provide much more information. 

Time to reflect and share with colleagues

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

• Interconnected relationships between google tools. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

• Have used lots of today's tools previously so it was a good reminder of using them. Some of them are once a year type tasks so not everyday. As such I can just refresh myself with a quick google read. 

What did I learn that could be used with my learners, how could they use it?

• Student portofolios (sites) use of embedding charts (live). 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

• Some of the sheets extension information was great. Hopefully I will remember to use them.

Reflect and Share

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? What does the Learn look like at YOUR school? 

• I can appreciate the growing capacity of my school with LEARN. It's been encouraging to see more action in this space from staff that have been throught the DFI process. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

• Quietube is great. If I was teaching I would use this bookmark often.
• Already used copy/edit url trick
• It was fun to do some creative tasks and get some increased understanding of the tools available in G. 
• I doubt I will use any of these beyond today as I have other workflows to achieve the outcomes. 

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

• I won't use tools much (maybe impromptu animation lesson!) but helped to understand posibilities with students
• Copy / edit - plus others https://learninginhand.com/blog/google-document-url-tricks

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

• As above

Reflect and Share

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? What does the Learn look like at YOUR school? 

• Learn looks different at each stage of our school. Primarily learn is hevaily relational based in the junior school and over time at WHS evolves towards a growing independance in learners - at least that is the hope! Real world and authentic contexts are very important at all levels. I admire the explicit and intentional focus that Manaiakalani uses. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

• Google Keep - Read text from a picture. Handy feature. 
• It's been a long time since working with html and embedding etc. Worked out the default embed ratios were not ideal as it distorted the preview. Adjusted to 640x360 seemed about right. 
• Calendar KB shortcuts might be handy. 

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

• My team are pretty well versed with all the items covered today. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

• No a great deal.  Uninterrupted time to explore things and admin tasks is helpful. Always nice to be out of the office.
