DFI day 5
Things learned from today's DFI
(1) Visible
Dorothy shared the next Manaiakalani value: Visible. Ensuring the learning is accessible to all students - not just those who can read the teacher's mind. There is the need to have an intentional use of technology to help learning become visible to the school community; so discussions around a learner's learning journey are taking place more. If visible, there are no surprises - the learning is accessible, available to all, and before it is needed.
Dorothy suggested the class site is this community interface. Hapara becomes the interface that opens up student learning to the teacher.
(2) Multimodal sites.
Multimodal Sites. Our class site is the hook to empower learning. Our class site home page should engage the learner and reflect what is happening for that day/time. The heart of multimodal learning is engagement, accessibility, agency, cognitive complexity to improve outcomes and differentiation through multiple modes of communication and opportunities.
(3) Google sites
A great opportunity to look into how to improve our existing sites to engage learners. I am still a little bit of a novice here - but now I am much more aware of creating more engaging sites. I have spent a good amount of time trying to tidy up my maths drive folders (that are linked to my site) as I have become aware that if I share my site with the world, I want it easily accessible, tidy and engaging.
