I felt in this session that I was able to put what we have been learning into practice by using google slides, drawing, site and docs. I spent time creating multi-modal reading slides and sub-pages on my site to present these. When we were given the chance to reflect on each other's sites I was able to take into consideration what I could add to my site and to put myself into the view of what others would see. Having everything in 3 clicks or less, having a simple layout and easy on the eye will make my site accessible to all learners and anyone who uses the site.
I was able to begin to work on my goal which is looking at how I can extend and make reading enjoyable for my learners. Pictured in this post is a slide I created to show multi-modal learning in reading. During the reading, I feel like I was not digging deep enough and just reading and forgetting, but now hopefully having a range of tasks and information will engage my students and they will leave the main text feeling knowledgeable to then go and share with others.
Overall I look forward to stepping up in differentiating the learning and targeting engagement in not only reading but other learning areas.
Kia ora Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing how you learners are enjoying using your reading programme via your site.
I noticed you have some students who require extra support and guidance. They seem to get anxious when following instructions. Do you find these students do better when they can rewind their from the site? Helena's idea of getting the students to create the artwork on the site is very cool and a way you could further the work we have done with drawing in an authentic way.
Nga mihi,
Mark
