So the day started off meeting with our group and going through what worked for us from last week. It was great to share what I had been doing with my children this week. I look forward to sharing the Digital Pepeha's my children create over the next few weeks.

2005 was the year that changed the way we share!
Sharing is a great way to have an authentic audience for their learning outcomes. It's worthy and it is so important to have an audience. When you share you need someone to listen. Whether it be another class, school, community and best of all now you can have a global audience. They can celebrate with us.
Next, we did a Deep Dive into Google Forms. I needed this session as I have not had too many chances to be making my own forms. I think this is something that would be useful for collecting data within my hub. I attempted to make a form for some children in the Year 7/8 hub that helped out being referees for touch. This will keep all their information together. After our staff meeting today I thought of ways that I could use forms for testing children and made a form to check their number knowledge today.
I had never heard of Google My Maps before so I was looking forward to exploring this a bit more. We had a play round in our Bubble Groups. This is something that I would be interested in using for measurement in the hub. I think that the children would really enjoy this.

We then moved onto sheets. This is something that I was looking forward to finding out more about. I knew that my knowledge on this wasn't great as most sheets we are given or someone has made for me. I now feel more confident in using these in my daily school life. I feel fine about the questions that are in the test at the end of this course. My takeaway from this session was freezing parts of the sheet and to be honest, this is a lifesaver if you have a lot of information on it. We had one of our progressions sheets that had lost the freeze function and I have fixed it for my hub.
Are you an expert at Google Forms. Sheets or My Map? Would love you to share your tips and tricks.
