It was an interesting start to the day with Dorothy Burt speaking to us about being visible. Being visible to our learners and whanau on our class sites, and the students learning being visible to us (Hapara and blogs). Everything (planning, learning, outcomes) needs to be accessible, available and in advance...ie no surprises!
It was an odd position for me today because I know a bit about class sites having had to up my game last year at lockdown, and having used T-shaped literacy. So I found that I knew enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be really dangerous. I learnt I can hide any preplanned work from navigation, which will make a huge difference to me. My main problem is that it takes me ages to sort and prepare multi-modal learning and/or t-shaped literacy. I really appreciated having the time to look around other class sites, and have already bookmarked some sites that I know I will be revisiting.
This week I will be making buttons for my class site, so will be giving this challenge to my class to create as suggested. I will need to teach them how to, before they create. I will also be casting the sharing tab to show them any items are floating.
As I didn't complete my Celebrating our ANZACs, I will screenshot part of what I do have on my site for t shaped literacy, which I find remarkably similar to the multi-modal. I think the key difference is the multi-modal is used in a cross-curricular context.
