Digital Fluency Session 1 2020


I've really enjoyed having the time to tidy up my google drive and to organise my drive in
a way that's more workable.
I have numbered each folder to organise the order of priority and have colour coded folders.
I learned that by right clicking on my bookmarks I was able to edit the name of each bookmark
and remove the written title to allow for more bookmarks on the bookmarks bar.

I have been able to set up a new person profile on my computer. On my mac I can find the
people tab at the top of the screen and have been able to add another google account.
I now have a professional and personal google account that I can switch between.


Where to next :

Apps to try with the children in class

Kaizena  (voice comments)
News Finder -It was really great to discover that to find any google app I can just search
app.google.com e.g. mail.google.com to access any app.
Docu Tube - embed a video's into the doc 
Mindmeister - helps to brainstorm on a google doc. 


FONTS

Lexend Zetta - helps children to read and write 10% increased speed for all readers  

helpful websites that I have come across today: 

remove.bg - removes the background of an image. 

It was really great to discover that to find any google app I can just search
app.google.com e.g. mail.google.com to access any app.
