Google drive, Doctopus och Goobric Parallellt med #Digiskol har jag den här terminen börjat jobba i Google drive tillsammans med mina elever. Som jag skrivit tidigare fick de i början av terminen Cromebooks att arbeta med och vi hade ett par dagar innan fått en dags kompetensutveckling kring GAFE, Google Apps For Education, Det kan ju låta lite, men det var det som behövdes för att komma igång. Sen måste man ju som alltid pilla och pröva för att hitta finesser som man är ute efter. Den största fördelen med att arbeta i driven är ju att man kan komma åt sina saker från vilken dator som helst. Det var väldigt lätt att få ut dokument till eleverna bara genom att med ett enkelt knapptryck dela det med en hel klass, en hel grupp eller bara några stycken. Det var då som någon på mitt jobb hittade scriptet Doctopus som man kopplar till dokumenten i driven. För att lära mig detta har jag använt mig av det här youtubeklippet och kollegor som snappat detta snabbare än jag :) Våga er på detta kära kollegor! /Linda

Building the Culture of an Empowered Mindset Towards Technology Innovation Flippfilm inför min föreläsning I min föreläsning pratar jag mycket om modet att våga prova digitala verktyg i sitt klassrum. För att våga prova och känna sig någorlunda trygg behöver man kunskap om hur man gör. Om man är med i olika Facebookgrupper eller på Twitter är det väldigt lätt att känna sig ensammast i världen och tänka " jag fattar ingenting av vad de pratar om" ! Så kände jag själv i januari när jag skapade mitt Twitterkonto. Jag har därför gjort en instruktionsfilm till er från absoluta början. Det är bra om ni tittat på filmen innan vi ses. Under föreläsningen kommer jag att visa er hur man kan arbeta med Google Drive och vilka fördelar som finns både för oss och för våra elever. Min föreläsning riktar sig till er som är nybörjare eller precis har börjat med digitala verktyg på era skolor. Syftet är att deltagarna ska gå därifrån och tänka "japp, detta kan jag klara", "detta vill jag lära mig" och "jag är också modig"! Föreläsningen är enkel, med tydliga och konkreta exempel ur min egen undervisning.
New Padagogy Wheel Helps You Integrate Technology Using SAMR Model Sometimes a visual guide comes along and it just makes total sense. That’s how I felt about Allan Carrington’s clever ‘Padagogy Wheel‘ which we featured on Edudemic last week. Check out the previous version then view the one below to see the differences. From what I can tell, putting the wheel on this site has generated a bit of buzz and I’m glad we could help spread the knowledge. But I was quite amazed this morning when I saw that the Padagogy Wheel had been updated. This new Padagogy Wheel (which honestly is less about iPads and more about technology integration now) should encourage you to focus on redefining your current standards, the current role tech plays in your classroom, and just about everything else.

Do you ever wonder how schools, universities, colleges, and large groups in general should use social media?
#GAFE, Vad kan man använda det till? Igår så tweetade Katarina Lycken Rüter en hel del tankar kring Google Apps For Education, även kallad GAFE. I skolSverige är det väldigt olika kring hur man kan/får använda detta i sin undervisning. På min skola använder vi GAFE tillsammans med våra elever och har mycket nytta av detta. Då jag tycker att alla borde få använda detta verktyg i sitt arbete tillsammans med eleverna gick jag lite igång på detta. Här kommer mina tio-i-topp grejer att använda GAFE till (utan inbördes ordning) 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
