Term 3 Toolkit

Another popular and great toolkit. With the new mathematics and statistics curriculum being slowly rolled out to schools any maths PLD linked to the new curriculum is what teachers want. It is also good for me to put them together and link it to the new curriculum. Unpacking and diving in to the phases and teaching sequece statements.

Generative AI for Educators with Gemini certificate

Being a very stormy wet weekend and sick of watching movies I completted the Google Gemini certificate. It was good to learn about the Prompts and how important they are in getting what you wont and changing and adding till you get what you wont. It was good to see the updates and changes. It was also good to experience and tial things as you went through the course. It is good to keep up to date as AI is changing at such a quick pace.

Google Summit

We started the journey on Sunday with a five-hour drive to Auckland Zana, my daughter and myself. We did manage to get a few hours of shopping in on the way down. I also treated us to accommodation at the Horizon hotel which was lovely. On the first day of the holidays Monday 22 September we attended the Google summit at Albany high in Auckland. It was such a great event with lots of great presenters from around the world. The keynote speaker was Eric Curt from the USA I have followed him online and used a lot of his work in the past. I was also lucky enough while I was at ISTE in Denvor last year to attend some of his workshops face to face so I was looking forward to hearing from him again and attending some of his workshops in Auckland. I also attended gemini, Note take LM, Google vids in movie making, and Chromebook tools. It was also great to catch up with the team and other teachers face to face. It was also nice to be sitting and learning and not presenting. A very worthwhile day even though we didn’t win any swag.
