Sharing has been happening since the beginning of time - think cave paintings. Technology has allow students to have an authentic audience in class rather than just a compulsory audience. The audience is now global.
As a teacher, it is important to hook students into the learning because the thrill of a new device does not keep them engaged in the long-term. This can be achieved through the use of multi-modal teaching materials.
We practised creating a new Google site incorporating multi-modal material. Here is my gardening site:
I am planning to update my class Google site before the start of Term 2 to make it more engaging for students and whanau.
Love the cooking with science website!
ReplyDeleteKia ora Amanda, It was great to be with you all again today- albeit via technology. I am very impressed with the Gardening website. We were hoping that giving you all the opportunity to focus on multi modal website building before the holidays would give you some ideas for when you are working on your class site over the break.
