PDF Activity
How would you complete the task?
This week, DCO's were provided with a PDF of questions to complete. The task had been created from a template in CANVA and saved as a PDF. The DCO's shared, how personally they would complete the task and how their staff might complete the same task. Examples included taking a screen shot and using digital ink to answer the questions or opening in adobe and editing the document to write over the top.
The DST then took the group through some training in adobe DC and turning the regular pdf into a fillable form type document.
Why? by creating a fillable form, staff and students can complete the whole task digitally rather than downloading, printing, completing scanning and then uploading. Also the staff member creating and collecting the digital forms will be able to easily share the form and collect all of the responses in one place.

Google Sites
Google Sites
The program Google Sites, was demonstrated to DCO's this week as a tool to share information, links and videos to the community, staff and students. Focusing on innovative and creative ways to share , engage students and provide resources that are available both in and outside of the classroom.
Examples of Department Google sites were presented, both technical and aesthetic features of the sites pointed out to show how a copy could be made and customized.
We also moved through the google sites checklist to make sure that DCO's could both create a site themselves and share the program with others.
Examples of how you could use Google sites :
Centralized resource hub
Student digital portfolio
A supplement for digital classrooms

In Yellow, how they are able to book their time as a resource and information from the DCO handbook was shared.
In green, if they knew their schools Digital Technology Policies and to remind them that if they are sharing apps, they need to read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Also reminding DCO's that some of the programs such as CANVA, do require anyone under the age of 13 to gain parental permission prior to using the resource.
In orange, if they were using a provided template or their own to log the activities that they complete on their DCO days. It was also asked that the DCO adds a folder to the Team channel names with their school name. Within this folder, we ask that the DCO places a document named "evidence". In this document, to place a link to their leaders log, school survey results and cloud storage document.
In blue, ideas and types of resources required by their school to improve the digital maturity of their school.

Meeting in _High School Mentor Grp 1_-20220330_120832-Meeting Recording.mp4Digital Programs.pptxDigital Programming
Looking at Digital Programming this week gave an insight into how the planning and collaboration process works at various schools.
After discussing what went on at your school, we turned to look at different types of collaboration, different apps (both in Google and Microsoft platforms) to be used when collaborating on programming tasks, and also how to store and share these resources.
Specifically, we looked at collaboration features in Google Docs, an awesome feature to help you complete sign off in programs completed in Google Sheets/MS Excel, and the advantages of using OneNote to organise programming across a faculty and administer permissions for this.
Lastly, we completed an activity in pairs about the advantages and disadvantages of Digital Programming. This included document sharing between the pairs and your mentors. The results of this are published below.
Programming Template Examples
Microsoft OneNote
Digital Learning Advisor Kate Jones has shared her OneNote program. Although based around an Early Stage 1 class, it gives you the concept of a well laid out program using the OneNote platform.
Please note: This file can be found in the Files tab in the High School or Central School Teams page.
Adobe Acrobat
Digital Learning Advisor Tanya Riach shared a Scope and Sequence presented in PDF format, and demonstrated how to use the comment functions within Adobe Acrobat DC to make comments on the document and send them to others for review.

HSC Digital Monitoring
This weeks sessions looked at HSC Monitoring folders and moving these from paper based documents to a digitally stored collection of teaching artifacts.
Included in the slide presentation is a statement from NESA regarding monitoring folders and their format.
We discussed the three main benefits of digital folders:
The ease of access anytime, anywhere.
The lack of clutter during the active year of the folder and in the storage of archived folders.
The safety and security a digital folder can provide with regards to access.
There were two examples looked at based around each of the main types of platforms used by the DoE. One example was based around Microsoft Teams and incorporating OneNote, while the other used a Google Sites page linked to Google Drive folders.
If you wish to have access to the Teams example demonstrated, please post a message in the Group Channel. We can then give you access to the team (unfortunately its not a file that can be just uploaded).
The Google Site will continues to be worked on and be fully complete by the beginning of Term 2. Once built, a link will be placed on this page that you can use as a template.
