Collaborate - Sites
Last weeks Reflection:
Connecting with Manaiakalani: Vicki
Pedagogy and Kaupapa: Visible Learning
- Visible to the Whanau
- Visible to the students
- Students need to know where they start from and where they are going
- Success in learners - students had the ability to read the teachers mind
- This includes WALTS and the learning and assessment processes:
- Have the default of having this as invisible. So we need to know what doesn't need to be visible?
- By providing sites and Hapara you can not lose it and work can be accessed from anywhere
- Visible to parents and whanau
- Accessible, Available and Advance (Before it is needed and before the deadlines)
- Visible to Teachers using Hapara
- Class Blog to share the learning journey once it has happened
- Hapara was specifically designed for the Malaikalani schools
- Reset student passwords in Hapara and have students logged back into learning in a couple of minutes instead of waiting for I.T.
Teachers can become one of these teachers and applications do go out later on in the year.

Hapara Hot Tips #4: Maria
Explore: Vicki
In our digital bubbles take a look at some multi modal learning Sites from slide 19 onInvestigating websites that are multi-modal sites. I looked at a Science website that looked visually appealing so I decided to explore the content:
- Great images large and clear
- White background
- Looks creative but not messy
- Videos, images and text are accessible to a range of learners who learn best in different ways
- The theme of each site is distinctly personal to the subject and teacher making it easily recognisable when students visit each time. This is the example of the shop front and creating a wow factor!
Chalk ‘n Talk: Cheryl
Introduction to Google Sites | Creating a new site from scratch sites.google.com
- Always plan your site
- Must set up your Google Drive
- Store all content in drive in the folder
- Change sharing settings to "Anyone with a link can view"

Work in groups to collaborate and share ideas and resources
We have created a selection of groups for you to join - check them out and then add your name here- Jamboard is great for brainstorming and way to collect ideas
