E-Learning for all

I was feeling really excited last night, after a great PD session with my team. As we had a couple of team members away, we decided to have a bit of a session on using the aha para dashboard for Google Drive. I have been using this more and more in my class, and we had decided at the start of the year to have it for all our Year 5-8 students instead of using a USB for their work. I showed my colleagues the basics of login in and viewing student work, plus how to smart copy documents and files to the students' folders. We discussed how to get started with the kids, and I recommended focussing on the login process as many of my (older) students had found it difficult just getting their username right! It also gives teachers a great opportunity to discuss digital citizenship especially regarding keeping their passwords safe. We had some great discussions and I see today that many of the students had successfully logged it.
