DFI Day 5 Reflection
Google Sites
Wow! My brain hurts today. There was so much stuff in the morning session that I really struggled to stay focussed for the afternoon. Initially I got lost with the explanation about multi modal vs multi textual and behavioural vs cognitive. Dorothy's session at 11.20 helped clarify that for me (thank you).
I do agree that one of the most powerful aspects of using sites is to make stuff visible and rewindable. I think there is probably quite a bit that we do in terms of staff development that we have not done as good a job of making it rewindable as we perhaps could have done. This is something I will think about some more as to how we might achieve visibility and rewindability for staff. The DFI agenda is a great example of both of these aspects.
Cool new things

Google Earth projects and voyager stories

To do:
Create my pepeha as a google earth project.
Share the REaL Toolkit website with key staff at school who can populate it with more content.
Email staff asking them for great blogs, inspirational videos, books etc worth adding to the site.

Hi Paul, I was thereabouts too, but it all clicked later. I like the multi-modal idea for reading and definitely will try it back in class. I think we already have a rewindable site e.g. Hero?
ReplyDeleteThanks Nogo. Hero is visible and rewindable in terms of children's data and assessment information. I was thinking more about some of the PD things that we do as a staff and also some of the admin tasks that we ask staff to do that perhaps we don't make the new knowledge or the instructions as visible as we could. Also the sharing of great resources. For behaviour support, for example, I am often asked about resources and I tell people about what I know about but I haven't archived that information anywhere so that it is just easily discoverable or rewindable. The REaL Toolkit link in the blog post is what I have been working on as a place to make this sort of stuff accessible.
