DFI 2019 Chch

Today I had the pleasure of visiting Christchurch with Manaiakalani. As a facilitator I had a fair bit to chew on.

The day start well with Google Keep one of my favourite places to keep information and notes that are reusable.  Unlike the old paper post it notes the stick to my laptop for a while until they start curling or fall off to the bottom on who knows where only to be found at a much later date.


As a picture speaks a 100 words I find the part where you can add a photo or image extremely useful, I can see what I have stored at the caravan or use it for inspiration in the class writing program and it is to find.

The feature that helps the most is the reminder where I can set a location so that it reminds me through my phone (where I also have it loaded) as I drive past the shop to stop and get milk.

Once again even as the facilitator I was able to learn more. Quick Time for Mac needs to be set up and the microphone granted access. This is an easy step to forget as it doesn't ask for access like loom or screen-castify does. So then you get lovely videos of a discussion with their screen shared but no sound. Duh!


As the workshop was on work flow we discussed gmail, calendar and hangouts. which can make meetings so much more manageable if you are unable to make to the site.

Calendar with its wonderful letter short cuts , as goggle continues to develop products there is always more J and K work like arrow, J takes you forward to the next day and K takes you back, (year, month of day which ever view you are in. N also works for next.

I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did, Thank you for having me Christchurch.

      It is always wonderful to hear that people are still talking about these features a week or two later, as that is hoe they start to embed the new learning. It was wonderful to meet you, hopefully I can come down for the next one and assist you.
