DFI Day 3 Media/Create,

Dfi course day 3 media /create

Google meet

Location : Bay Of Islands College

Another intensive day with DFI team and the awesome cohort of learners.

This was done by google meet session which was great but certainly came with its own set of challenges, but once again the manaiakilani team talked us through the processes involved with

the items on the agenda.

Started the day with another session about the manaiakilani pedagogy.

This week we heard the term sisomo, that is the use of sight sound and motion to 

enthrall learners with the use of interesting and colourful graphics,sound and animation.

Also heard that there are many ways to be creative which seems highly 

doable with the use of seemingly infinite images,videos and the tools that can be accessed through the internet and Google apps.

We also touched on hapara, which I have not had much to do with either.

Learnt how to set up and add to playlists on U Tube.

Adding a video to the blog

The Pale Blue Dot - A Compelling Speech by Carl Sagan

This is a favourite of mine, I watch it every now and again.

If you don't know, Carl Sagan worked for and consulted to NASA 

and was a mentor to Neil De Grasse Tyson, presenter of the fascinating 

Cosmos television  series.  To me, well worth the watch of about 3 1/2 minutes.

The name speaks for itself. " A Compelling Speech .........."

Practicing my animation techniques.
