Cybersmart training purpose for students:

Create confident decision makers.

Positive digital footprint.

Critically examine information. Discern.

Smart decisions of what to share.

Use our values.

Can use it effectively and efficiently.

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

Hapara Dashboard has more uses than I knew.

Best place to see their posts.

Can also see all the comments and can check them.

Can see their inbox to check…..history is trapped and this is good to show them you can do this. If it is in their drive…..it will be in unshared files and can’t find it.

Highlights: Students on wrong thing: Browser tabs

You can drag people not being on the right thing up to the top to keep and eye out.

You can take a snip to have a conversation later.

You can see who are working collaboratively or individually.

Focus session…. Up to 10 students: Give general addresses…..drive.google.com…...maybe class site link…...dics.google.com……..blogger.com

Can only use these for a set time.    (follow up activity or just for students not on correct thing)

Can set this as a template you can select and modify when you want to use.

You can prevent access….to particular sites eg youtube…… (prevent access option)

Edit and assign students to groups. You must be the teacher to this class.

You can share a file….. You can create one in smart share or select a file from the drive. This is good because it automatically opens up in browser window.

Workspace: Can collaborate with other teachers even in the states.

You can use this for keeping track of assessments.

You can embed the workspace into the topic site so the students can access the various.

Screencastify is so easy.

How to use screencastify for student lesson instruction and I have to remember how to find an embed code by open window!!! It is not a logical step for me to remember easily.

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

Using explain everything is fun and I now have more idea how to use and save the files. Students can use this across curriculum.

Rewindable videos using screencastify: how to lessons and modelling so those away can do the work when they get back or those with access at home can do it while they are away.

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

Greater efficiency in work life always means more time for a personal one! Yay

I can start to see how I could create sites and blogs for my own interests.
