DFI Session 3 Media

Media 

Streaming video and recordings is an excellent way to share and rewind learning content. In addition, drones can further enhance visual effect and teaching.

Youtube content can be a good source of media and  information.  In contrast, it is recommended to use Google Drive when uploading media.  benefits include legal protections and safe accessible sharing.   

Google drawing is an excellent creating tool. It can be  used to create and share an endless array of art work . Here we have a rose that was done in   approximately 1.5 hours on Google Drawing.

DFI Session 2 Google Keeps

DFI Session 2: Note Taking Made Simple 

What is Google Keeps?  Keeps essentially is a platform for note taking.  Contents can include texts, images and Audio.

Benefits:  The real advantage of 'Google Keeps' is having a central location to store notes, ideas and information that could be used later on.  The purpose behind it is to have an inter-grated platform where information can be stored and can be accessed with ease. 

Moving forward: Much like new apps and tools it important to explore, use and regularly experiment with the platform.  I hope to centralise note taking and make retrieving notes more easier.
