Today's session was all about being VISIBLE/ariari. Technology has helped make our journey of learning, planning, sharing and creating all visible. Our learning sites and our blogs allow colleagues, learners, whanau and friends to follow and engage easily.
No Surprises! - Learning can be accessible, available and seen in advance.
Hāpara works in the classroom as a solution to challenges around visibility. Interestingly it also has a Parent Portal allowing parents to login to child's work.
Multi modal - communicating with ALL learners by reaching a diverse range of learning styles. Engage the hook, make learning empowering to help develop life long learners.
Homepages reflect the culture of the class - like a shop window. There are some amazing shop windows out there!!
We had time and support creating our own Google Site. We then added a Multimodal page using the T-shaped Literacy model. This is a work in progress. I enjoyed working with the group as we all had different ideas as to how to design learning around a School Journal Story.
I can see why we all use Google Sites as they are truly visible and provide ease of access.

Hi Pip
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you described the site home page like a shop window.We should change out home page more often.
HI Pip
ReplyDeleteA great reflection about how making learning visible is so important. I think this was of great benefit to us during lockdown. Like Raewyn, I like how you compared our class site home page to a shop window. This is something that we need to reflect on when we look at our home pages.
