Workflow..

Let's hangout! Have experienced these before but it is nice to see the background. I can see the benefits both professionally and personally. 

Calendars

I have developed my skills and understanding of the power of calendar. I haven't really used calendar, preferring the apple calendar. Switching between personal and school calendar

This will allow me to have a one stop shop.  Short cuts allow changing views: day -D, week -W, month -M.  

I can create a hangout to connect and share ideas, and learn from the experience of others through sharing screens.

Keep

Enjoyed the Keep, again it allows me to have all of my to do list in a space where they are easily accessible. This will save the piece of paper moving to the bottom of the desk!

The text capture seemed useful but I need time to explore this  independently as I can see advantages but the session was a bit fast and I couldn't quite keep up. The joy of rewindable learning is that I know I can go back to this.

G Mail

I want to spend more time learning the shortcuts for G Mail. My in box is way more organised and I have got I have archived stuff I am no longer actively using but don' t want  to lose. Have a tidy inbox will reduce the stress of unanswered email, or an obscene number of emails showing as unopened in my inbox.

Shifting between boxes will be easier with G- D (drafts), G I (inbox), G S (sent).  I like the idea of being able to reply but schedule the response. I can set up a whole class email but schedule for it not to go until class time. When I add comments on the students work I can delay them until class, they will then learn to manage their time and not feel pressured to respond.

Taming Tabs

I have made a collection of tabs for the morning so I know I have all the tabs I need to start the day. This will ensure in movement I have all the tabs I need.

I can see this having application when I have planned units of work, having one tab that will open all the tabs I need for casting without delay when I am presenting to the class, they can all be sitting there waiting. It will also mean the students can also have their tabs ready and waiting because I can share those tabs. Through Hapara I can ensure that they only have the tabs they need for the unit of work open. This ties into the Kawa of Care, right place at the right time.

Recording of Hangouts

Recorded Hangouts will assist with rewindable learning. It is simple and efficient way to communicate ideas and share screens. I would to compare this with screencastify to investigate which will be easier for me to navigate. Or maybe they have advantages depending on the purpose.
