Session 2: Workflow

Another busy day covering lots of different ways we can use Google. Discovered my emails are out of control, but feel a bit better about it after making colorful folders and setting up filters. Recording a meet was something that I hadn't done before. Dorothy talked about rewindable learning this morning and I see how these recording would be useful for that, enabling tamariki to revist content and also share it with peers and whanau.

I really enjoyed looking into google keep more, currently I only use it for taking meeting notes.

I had never thought of using google keep when commenting on my children's work. I can see it being a good time saver. I look forward to using it.Maybe even trialing a classroom keep where I can have reminders for morning jobs to be done before school

  • Put your drink bottle in the tray.

  • Shoes placed outside neat and tidy.

  • Homework folder out


My mind is now busy thinking of all the ways I can use google keep in my life!

Ways that i might use it in class.


Spelling Lists: tamariki can add words that they use frequently to a keep  list that they can have open next to them.

Reading Logs: might be a good place to trial keeping a reading log. We do keep a record in google slides, but sometimes tamariki have a hard time finding it. Could be more accessible and easier to

I have already started changing my lists to google keep. I enjoy making lists, it makes me feel organised! I have several lists already on my phone but really like how I can share the lists, use voice recordings and also link a location.  I've added the app on my phone, I feel more orgainsed already!!

  1. Kia ora Kate,

    Love that idea of using Keep for those spelling words students often have trouble with. I saw an idea online this week of using a Keep note with a piece of feedback and an image which you can then just drag directly into a Google Doc or slide or what ever, similar to adding a sticker to students work.
    How did you get on with the task of recording with Google Meet? Is that something you have done before? It would be great to see your video embedded into your blog.

  2. Kia ora Kate,
    Great to hear you were so inspired about Keep. I find the google tool integration is such a strength, so glad you found ways to harness this for you and your learners. Please do share what you try out with them.
    Ngā mihi,
