Digital Fluency Intensive Session 5

Today in regards to the manaiakalani kaupapa we discussed the visible learning and what this means for us as teachers. This wraps around the LCS pedagogy. We discussed that if our whanau/teachers/colleagues can't see our learning for any reason than it is not made visible to be able to be accessed. This might be due to password protections or privacy settings not making the learning visible.

 

Dorothy encouraged us to continue utilizing our professional blogs after our DFI journey has ended. This is something I will do as it is important to look back and reflect on. After this, we did a deep dive into multi-modal texts and how we can use this in our classes, alongside the use of Google Sites. I had heard of this before and attempted to implement it, but the tools I was given during this deep dive will allow me to further demonstrate my understanding of both multi-modal and multi-text. As teachers, it's our job to sell the love of our learning to our children. Our site homepage acts as our 'shop window' and it is that which engages or disengages our learners. It is important to take into account the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as not one size fits all and it's important to differentiate our learning. Whenever we get back to school I will definitely be creating on our google site a multimodal page. I started creating my own for our Inquiry this term to share to my colleagues.

Finally, we looked at some blog reaction buttons. I will have a play with these as they could be cool on our team blog! Until Next week....
