How to use Easel.ly easily... - Student Summit

 Hi!
Today it was... STUDENT SUMMIT!!!
Student Summit is a place that we used to go to so we could share how to use different sites. This year we couldn't go there so it was online.
For each of the sessions there was a google meet for each site.
It was very fun but a bit tricky at first on the meets.
After some time it got a bit easier to work on the meets and follow the instructions without having the other students actually in person to help you.
For student summit we had a form to fill out yesterday to choose what workshops we wanted to go to, overall we got four.

Session 1: Suped-up slides with Pear Deck - This was really confusing for me. Firstly it was because everyone was still finding out how it is working and to mute themselves. Secondly no one really understood what was going on and we didn't know if we had to follow along. But it was really fun to watch their presentation. But I don't have anything to share since we didn't have enough time to make anything. Also I learnt that Pear Deck is a google slide add-on that is for your learning.

Session 2: YMS How to use Easel.ly easily - This was by Grace and I. One of the challenges we faced were probably not having enough time or having too many people on the meet so it made it really slow.
Everyone was listening though so that was good, except it is very hard to teach people without seeing their screens to know what is happening.
Grace was explaining everything and I was answering questions.
There weren't too many questions asked but lots of people had problems with getting on or not hearing the instructions.
Here is our slide that we shared on how to use Easel.ly...

 

Session 3: GS Marvelous Miro - This was really fun to learn about since I haven't heard of it before. Since we ran out of time this is all I made...


I think that with more time I could get proper information and make it look a lot cooler.
But now that I know what it is and how to use it I might give it a go later on when I have more time.
The presentation was easy enough to follow apart from signing in but other then that it was really easy and worth the results.

Session 4: SHS Biteable - I do use biteable a lot so I decided that learning more about it would be fun. Although there were technical difficulties with the presenters so it took a long time to get everyone on and started. Because of that we didn't get any time to get to some new stuff that I don't know about. But I still like what I made. It is about penguins... again, but I thought it would just be easier to have the same information but presented in a different way. Here it is:


This is the link to all the amazing presentations: LINK.
I hope you enjoyed this very very longgggg blog post and learnt some maybe true facts about penguins or some new websites/add-ons.
Student Summit this year was super fun to do even if there were some challenges.
Also this year our whole class could attend but only three groups decided to present, they were: Grace and I, Mia & Nikita & Hana then Mykiala and Lucy.
Sadly I didn't get any YMS presentations apart from my own.
Did you know any of these sites or do you know of some other ones?
Did you attend the student summit or have you ever been to one?
Do you like penguins?
Until next time...
Bye!

  1. Kia ora Abby,
    I really enjoyed reading your blog post. You have given me a lot of information about what the overall Summit was like, thank you.
    Well done for presenting! I know it was a major challenge and I am so proud of you for giving it a go!
    I do like penguins haha :) What a great question!
    If we had to do the Student Summit Online again, what advice would you give to other presenters?
