Today the DFI was held via Google Hangout! This was such a fantastic experience to be apart of and really helped to build on my knowledge using this app. Each time I use google Hangouts I'm feeling more confident. If our NZ lock down continues past the 'holidays' I can see this will be our next step to be presenting content for our Tamariki each day.
I had never used the grid view before so this was a helpful add on to download straight away, and what a difference it makes when multiple people are in the video chat at one time!
When teaching very young children (5/6 year olds) using google hangouts it was suggested that publishing the link on the classrooms web page was the best way to control the interaction and then just removing it when the hang out had finished. This is definitely something I will give a try with our class.
You Tube:
Wow lots of new learning using youtube today.I have created a channel and added my first play list and I can now embed these video's.

Google Slides
I currently use google slides for planning and sharing this planning and activities with whānau.Today I looked further into pick a path with Kelsey (thanks for all your help today).
Here is my very fast attempt at creating a fun wee interactive game, with emergent readers and writers in mind.
Google Doc - Interactive Game, Have a Try!
I found this slide imperative in creating a successful pathway...
