Enabling Access- Sites: Agenda Day 6

Enabling Access- Sites



1. Visible learning including: Teacher planning, outlines, outcomes, reflections, elements of assessment process.


Key Point: visible is the default and move from there- flip the learning to engage students who need to rewind.



2. Why Google Sites- here

Key Point: All parts- blogs, site, portal- are together not separate from each other

3. Ideas to improve my site included:
*Adding relevant photos (maybe of kids later)
*Put latest material at top
*Include 4 main curriculum areas on the content bar at top of blog
*Reduce the spacing of icons and slides so that things are more ordered
*General tidy up
*With hotspots put into slideshow rather than individual google drawings that take up a lot of space and are disorderly
4. Some ideas from others sites include:
*Put Sunshine classics website link on site for some readers
*Put typing programme onto site
5. Some useful websites discussed today with other Year 7 & 8 teachers include:
*Science- legends of learning- atomic structure & games for teaching (math as well) great for science
*Prodigy- https://maths.prototec.co.nz/ for basic facts 2 tests a week and send results
*NASA- stem challenge

  1. Hi, Sharon here from Rāwhiti. I really like the way you put yourself in your screencastify and talked through the changes you made. It makes it more personal and relatable. Did you have a chance to try out any of the other games for learning sites?

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
