Matific Online training

I had my first online training for Matific today and found it helpful.
What stood out for me was how you can use Classcast to show students what to do. When you use Classcast, it shares your screen with all the students in that group and gives you the opportunity to explain or demonstrate how something works.

Also, there are lesson plans available for teachers and you can print booklets of the selected activities. This will be very helpful tomorrow when I print hard packs for students at home. 

I want to start using certificates to encourage more participation. 

Tuhi MAi Tuhi Atu Teacher Meet: Wednesday April 1st

Wed we had our first Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu conference call. It was a short but powerful catch up with lots of good ideas and examples. Slide
What I took from this meeting was to develop a little commenting challenge for our class in order to get students connected. I downloaded Grid view for Google Meeting in order to see a few students at one time when having conferences in term 2.
I also gained a few ideas from this link about what makes an eye-catching blog post.
