Thank you for your efforts today. There was a lot to absorb, but thank goodness for able women... including Andrew (tee hee!).
I learned a great deal, and even experimented outside of Vanessa and Kerry's directions when making a shared video for the blog: that's a big step forward in confidence for me!
I believe it'd be useful to:
1. set a couple of "Homework" exercises/ follow ups / form a Checklist
2. do a quick "warm up" at the beginning every new Session, where we collectively demonstrate some of the new skills acquired. That would marginally create LESS QUANTITY, but arguably MORE QUALITY.
I do not believe ALL learners Navigate computers comfortably, or know all of the basic Keys, icons, buttons or shortcuts. Would a PRINTED PAGE of useful DIAGRAMS per session (no more than 6x examples!) be useful?
- I am for instance not a touch typist, and plod through keys and typing - but do get there! But that creates a schism - while I am typing, I cannot hear all ongoing recommendations. So it is important to demo exercises/ shortcuts etc. but ALWAYS follow up.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you have had a great day. Certianly plenty of learning and you have identified some next steps for the week.
I need new eyeballs though! Thanks for commenting. Kia kaha. Chris W
DeleteKia Ora Chris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, looks like you have been getting a lot from the DFI so far. I like your suggestion of having some cheat sheets to learn the shortcuts and what not, that could be very helpful.
You need to change the sharing settings on your docs so that they are visable to everyone, maybe this is something Kerry could help you with at school.
Lovely seeing you again.
Nga mihi,
