Mr Pearce's PD blog

 I've made a website rather than a blog post to record the Te Reo PD Term 4 2020 https://sites.google.com/staff.whs.co.nz/niallspldmaori/home

 Walkthrough Ob from Paul in August The net was down at the start of the lesson so I brought forward a demo I was planning for later in the course as the students didn't need anything web based. It happened to be the plane modelling of the patiki design so there happened to be tikanga in this lesson. The class is currently working on Domino, Sky Tower or Sting models. 3/16 Maori, 12 NZ European, 1 'Other' European. Culture?

Last week helping Jules with the Screencastify PD. Main find was how to tuen the 'Annotation' menu back on if you close it during a recording. Shared the link to the help page for Jules to add to the PD website. This week creating videos to recap the content on the Basic Python website. Being programming it is very wordy with code examples. Having a short recap video at the bottom of each page should make it easy for students that need it to quickly get the essentials they will need and refresh their memory after we cover it in class. eg  https://sites.google.com/staff.whs.co.nz/10dgt3/inputoutput

The labels are aggregated from all the posts, so you can't have a label with no posts attached to it. eg you can't set up labels that you know you will be using in the future

PD Post I used this back in 2018 with the Mechatronics class. They didn't like it. I found the idea useful but wondered about how easy it was to export the content eg if NZQA wanted evidence the student created in Blogger. I seem to remember putting images in was a pain, going from phone to cloud to Blogger. On checking there is no insert image from Google Drive. You need to download to laptop then upload to Blogger.
