For me, even though I knew quite a bit about sites and making learning visible I found Dorothy's chat very interesting. It has helped me to realise the importance of not only having your WALTs and Success Criteria visible, but also making sure your site is made so that both students and whānau can access and understand it. This year my school has made it that you can follow the GOOGLE SEARCH - SCHOOL WEBSITE - CLASS SITE instructions. Things I have already done before to make my learning visible is having WALTs, Success Criteria, Video Support, Audio Recording of instructions etc.
I have really enjoyed learning about the Multimodal and Multi-textual design. It's helping me feel more confident and have a greater understanding of how to support some of my students. It has also showed me that I already do some of these ideas. I think having a multi-text database is a great idea to improve workflow and encourage collaboration.
A lot of what I've learnt today will benefit my learners, just by me being able to make my students learning more engaging to look at by having DLO's or engaging videos for front loading or to help understand text.
To be honest I'm not sure how this will help me personally except that it will, hopefully, reduce workload which in turn will help my personal life.
Here is my site that I made today on ANZAC (still in progress).
Kia ora Vickie,
ReplyDeleteIsn't the multi-text database great!? Working smarter not harder with collaboration is a definite plus for our already busy professional (and personal) lives. So I do really hope that what you learned today does help you lighten your workload so that it does help in your personal life!
You have made an awesome start to your multi-modal site, and the great thing about it being Anzac, is that it will work every year, once you have finished it.
I am really glad to read that this session helped you to feel more confident and build your understanding to help your students this way.
I hope you have a great rest of the term and I look forward to seeing you next holidays.
