Digital Fluency Intensive - Session 2: Workflow

Today's session has helped me to become more confident with using Google Meet, Gmail and Google Calendar, and has also introduced me to Google Keep.

I have used Google Meet frequently during the lockdown, so I was already relatively confident with using it (creating a Google Meet, using grid view, teaching etiquette etc), however, I have now learned about the close captions function, and have practised recording a Google Meet (see video), and sharing a Chrome tab while presenting.

I have adjusted themes and settings on my Gmail and Google Calendar so that they are easier to use, and have learned new shortcuts to use in Google Calendar (such as pressing the letter 'd' to show the day, 'w' to show the week, and 'm' to show the month).

What I will take away from this session to teach my students, is how to insert a video into a blog post using the embed function.
