Day 5 - Collaborate/Sites

 Kia ora everyone,

Well I was pretty excited about today because we got to delve into Sites!  While I work on our Hub site and my pages everyday and try to make it pretty, today was cool because I learned a few new tricks about adding buttons and pages.  Also had a wee play with record to slides to put on my new fancy (trial for fun) site.  I am considering adding new pages to my existing Literacy page - to perhaps make it easier and more engaging for my my students.  Here is the beginnings of my trial site...



So to back track a little, we began our day with our Google Meet with Dorothy.  Today we discussed the Kaupapa - Visible.  Making our teaching and learning visible for everyone who wants or needs to - obviously especially our students and their whanau - who can become genuine participants.

Our Deep Dive today centered around Multi Modal - using a variety of resources to extend and deepen learning.  It is reflective of effective teaching practice for a digital learning environment, based on knowing our learners, it can show different perspectives and points of view, and uses different ‘types’ of texts - written, audio, visual, symbolic, etc.  I like to think that my pages on our Korimako site are beginning to reflect the use of Multi Modal learning.  I think Literacy is easier to use this, so my next goal is to work on my Math page...

See you next week!

  1. Kia ora Mel,
    I am glad you discovered some takeaways today. It is interesting you saying that literacy is easier than maths for multimodal. I find maths much easier as so much content is already created for maths learning, youtube, Khan Academy, Figure it Outs, Teacher Tools videos, text books and so many interactive maths sites etc.
    I think we often over think the maths planning. I look forward to see what you come up with,
    Nga mihi,
    Mark
