Google Hangout with Dorothy
Some really good points about sharing today. It is not a new concept, but since 2005 its expanded to a worldwide audience. Certainly not discounting a range of ways to share, not just on technology. I am appreciative of the reason for using blogs as that is a question that comes up regularly with new staff to Manaiakalani this year. I have some good reasons to discuss:- its legal to under age users
- BOT has full control of this via the settings
- it can be monitored and regulated.
Multi-modal
I love this!
Multiple ways of "hooking" our learner in - engaging in their learning style
books, art, movies, links, google maps, text, accessing multiple text, multi levels, multi modes to build on a rich understanding of your learning.
All about engaging students.

SITES
Lots of learning here for me. I have created a site which is terrible and not very engaging, so great to have a tutu!This is useful for the colours
colour picker
Think about small or large buttons depending on the audience
I had a go at my own site! It's very basic, but it worked!!
Gardening Site
My next job is to create a school site that is exciting to view!
COLLABORATION
Another really great session. As time goes on you can see our group working together in a streamlined way. People are confident to seek help from each other. Lots of sharing and giggles in between! I am absolutely loving the new learning that I am getting each week. The learning will help stream line my workflow.
Google Keep has been very good to delve into. I already use it, but have enhanced my use this week.
My next steps will be important to practice my new learning and tutu so I continue to embed in my head!!!
Kathryn you have set out your post clearly showing what you have been learning at DFI. I enjoy working with you in DFI. Multi modal is a good way to set up your planning having all the resources in one place and it gives tamariki easy access to their work and what they need. Can you see your teachers using multi modal?
ReplyDeleteHi Rosina thanks for the blog post. I am certainly learning lots from DFI too! Yes I can see my teachers using multi modal, and for an extension it would be great to see students creating their multi modal learning sites too.
DeleteHi Kathryn, Great to read your reflections. I enjoyed learning about Google Site, I think the multi modal sites have the potential to be really engaging and a great way to organise resources for a unit of work. I think our school should also look into moving to a Google site for the school site. Looking forward to more learning this week :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Meg! What a great learning curve for me! Hope you are enjoying DFI too. I agree, our school should be using Google sites too.
