DFI Reflection - Day 5 - Media

 Collaborate - Sites

Last weeks Reflection:

What has worked for me since the last time we met?

I learnt about creating conditional pathways based on the answer selected in Google forms. This was particularly useful for me to gather student voice to find out more about how a student learns best (Visual, Kinesthetic and Auditory) Students Voice form.

I learnt that sharing 'live' is beneficial for caregivers and the community to actually see what is going on in real-time by sharing. I sent an email to our filming club leaders to give them an idea and opportunity of filming the assemblies live. There may be further implications involved, however, this is a work in progress. 

I really enjoyed mapping out my maps of all the places I visited in the world!

What hasn’t worked (or made sense)?

Things are going well so far!

What do you need help with?

I am having trouble with my conditional formatting, so need to practice using this more in Google Sheets. 

Our DFI Bubble - reflecting and sharing our learning journey so far:

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.

Manaikalani Class on Air - Great opportunity for teachers to observe other teachers

Teachers can become one of these teachers and applications do go out later on in the year.

Secondary Teaching areas

Deep Dive: Kerry

Multi-Modal - what we mean when we use this term

An inclusive, differentiated approach to teaching in a digital learning environment

• Peadagogy unerpins the site
• Empowering teachers and students
• feel confient and excited about the students learning
• Opposite to one size fits all
• Creating a multimodal sites - know where the resources are so they can easily navigate
• About establishing routines
• How can we hook them into the learning

Hapara Hot Tips #4: Maria

The Sharing Tab

Explore: Vicki

In our digital bubbles take a look at some multi modal learning Sites from slide 19 on

Investigating 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!

Other websites have a clear theme, Learn, Create and Share pedagogy. All created in sites and visible to all:

https://sites.google.com/ptengland.school.nz/identity/home 

https://sites.google.com/yaldhurst.school.nz/te-mahuri--nz-dinosaurs/home

https://sites.google.com/yaldhurst.school.nz/te-mahuri-otago-gold-rush/home

https://sites.google.com/edmundhillary.school.nz/juniormatariki/home (This site has the teacher planning visible to the students as well as the success criteria)

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"
• Create a Site within a folder

Introducing the work of Angela Moala | MultiText Database

Check out the content and resources teachers are supplying here.

NB: It may be that you have content of your own you would like to add to the database

Learn more about this from WFRC here and more recently here

And a case study from Chrissie at Paihia School.

• Malaikalani Innovative teachers | Angela Moala | Troy England...

Good resource for parents: Techtoolkit

Levelling Up (Learner age levels!)

Plan: Site content and layout

Theme: What is the big question you are providing texts to answer?

Use: paper, whiteboard, digital tools, e.g Jamboard, graphic organisers etc

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
• Great for planning our site and what going to want on our front page
