Today at DFOI (Week 5) we looked Google Sites. With Dorothy, we discussed the importance of making learning visible for our Tamariki. It..
Encourages partnership with school and home
Teachers being able to see what the child is doing
Visibility of what other teachers are doing (blogs, planning etc)
Dorothy talked about the Hapara Hot Tip- using the sharing function on Hapara to find the children's things that they haven't put into their folders. This is a part of Hapara that I use regularly to find things that the children I teach haven't put into a folder. It's a very useful button to know about.. although still doesn't create finished work!!
Our task today was to create a Multi Modal Site which encompasses a variety of texts to support our learners. Click this link to take you to the site I created. The site focuses on the text 'Wonder' by R.J. Palacio that I'm reading with my reading group.
I used the MultiText Data Base to support the children.
Here is the link to my learning space site that my children use daily. This is where literally everything goes that we need the children to access.
Hi Emily, this is my second attempt at writing this reply- I accidentally clicked sign out instead of publish *face palm*. I have just opened up the sharing settings on the site- is this a new setting? I don't remember having to do this in the past when creating a site.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, when the children don't put things in their correct folders it drives my insane.
Re: Wonder- do you have any activities that you used with Wonder last year? I have had a search but haven't liked any of the ones I've found and haven't had the chance to make any yet.
