DFI - Week 5 - Collaborate Sites

Visible Kaupapa

Todays unpacking of visible brought everything together of Learn, Create and Share. 
With Visible I love how everything connects and I can see the connections of the foundation of the pedagogy of what Manaiakalani want to achieve with educators and the successful of students learning and achievement.
It makes lots of sense how with visible there is an importance of making teaching and learning visible to all. There should be no hidden plans/user names or locked access for students and families to see their child's learning and their teacher's planning.
Exploring visible was very interesting and I gain a lot of new learning and enjoyed it and love how everything links together with the exploration of Google sites.

LEARN

Deep Dive into Multi Medal

Today learning about multi modal was really cool and really interesting and it brought up the importance of reading and the lack of skills or strategies our students have in their reading ability.
As I learnt about multi modal and their purposeful approach to visibility of teaching. It was also mentioned the HOOK, and how important it is to get our students/learners HOOKed in.
After 5 weeks, everything is really making sense and I can see the pedagogy coming to life.
Multi modal I found really enjoyable to learning about and explore with my bubble and other colleagues.

Google sites
Google Sites is a structured wiki- and Web page-creation tool offered by Google. The declared goal of Google Sites is for anyone to be able to create simple web sites that support collaboration between different editors. Wikipedia

I have started to use and explore google sites this year as my school Glenbrae has a google site and I had to create one for my class. WOW!!!!
This was a fun/hate experience. LOL.

CREATE and SHARE

Today, we/ I learned and explored a multi textural design for cognitive development using the T shaped literacy.

Below is a screenshot of the multi-text database with the headings to explore a topic to cognitive challenge and engage the learnings in different aspects of learning approaches.

From here, we had a subject topic and brainstormed and plan a google site that displayed the multi-text headings.

Here is my attempt and creation of my google site and T shaped learning using the multi-text.

Anne's site link

only the reading works.

Todays session was really good. So good, it has taken me 2 days to reflect on the learning and write my learning blog. 

What really stood out for me to apply into my teaching practice and use to make my workflow more manageable would definitely be the multi-text task and making my reading task design more cognitively demanding to deepen their critical thinking. Having a range of task that supports the topic and varies of reading models to support the learning and my teaching. I look forward to my reading tasks developing and becoming more engaging and task demanding to allow my students to thinking critically about topics with varies of learning modes 

I love how I can create a web site too with google site. This was so much fun. Learning the tools to create pages and adding links and using google slides and publishing my site. WOW!!
