Today's session gave us a crash course on multi-modal learning and use of Google sites.
As teachers. this is directing us into the CREATE aspect of the Learn, Create, Share kaupapa and pedagogy of Manaiakalani.
We had a look at other teacher's examples of multi-modal planning & learning platforms. These were examples of google docs with hyperlinks to resources, learning activities & video clips, etc... The next stage was funked-up versions of these that way more visually appealing. This is where teachers would have a class site. Their learning was visible & accessible 24/7. Class sites can have a page (or several) dedicated to the particular learning area or learning theme/context. This can be kids one-stop-shop for information (LEARN), & learning activities. (Create & share).
As a principal, I need to think about how I can use these tools & the pedagogy in my leadership. For now, I have dabbled in the creation of a Google Site. In today's session, I learned a couple things that I put on the site: youtube clips & hyperlinking to a picture. Overall, Google sites is pretty user-friendly. Here's my Leadership Hub Google Site it's very much in the early stages & a work in progress.
Perky out.

Kia ora Perky,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your beginnings of reflecting on how you might use the tools and pedagogy in your leadership. I'm thinking Turbocharge as you become fluent with the tools and see the potential. I look forward to seeing where you get to...
I was keen to take a look at you site. Unfortunately the link shows up as an error! Have you published your site so 'Anyone can find and view the publised site'?
Ngā mihi,
Maria
Perky,
ReplyDeleteyour reflections about working with sites at a leadership level are interesting. Like Maria, I tried to view your site but couldn't get in. If you need a hand we could look at it on Monday when we have our "Hangout". I am interested in seeing how you would use it and also how it grows.

Crash course is right! Like the black and orange very slick look of your Site.
