Enabling access - DFI session 6

In class, our class site is used throughout the day for children to access and support their learning. 

It creates a platform for:

• Rewindable learning
• Access to multimodal learning
• Ubiquitous access (this was especially helpful during lockdown)
• Connected and enables data to be transparent (student agency)

I don't think there is an end to the creation of the class site. It's forever growing and changing. I enjoying tutuing around, but can be caught on it for hours on end. 

I'm notorious for forgetting to link a page/site to a button or image for the children to access their learning. The kids love it when this happens and have become very understanding.

Collaboration - DFI session 5

Having just had the T-shaped literacy PD facilitated by Phil from Ako Hiko, today's agenda couldn't have come at a more perfect time. 

With such a diverse range of learners in a class, I found the T-shaped multi-modal structure creates opportunities for all students to connect in more than 1 way to the learning.  

I'm still getting to grips with the different types of texts. I found the WFRC breakdown especially helpful: 

With some guidance from Cheryl we collaboratively created a plan for a muti-modal literacy site. 

We used this to help us create a google site. 

I found using the class site a great tool for visibility in the classroom. This is something we already use on a regular basis in class. It has created the opportunity for children to go back and revisit areas of their learning in their own time.
