DFI 6 - Enabling Access

Again, it was another hands-on session with us learning more about Google sites.  I was able to have some well needed time to really work on a google site (which I am preparing for my next years' class) and focus on the 'Five affordances of Learn Create Share in a digital learning environment,,,'

• engagement
• teaching conversations
• cognitive challenge
• visibility
• scaffolding

It would have been great to have gotten some feedback about 'my site', but at the time, I hadn't actually produced it.  I did find that looking at other peoples sites, gave me a chance to give them some feedback and to really think about the purpose of my learning site and would it be visible to the learner...

Purpose of a learning site 

• One-stop hub for learning
• learning is accessible anywhere, anytime, and at any pace
• rewindable learning supported
• personalising learning via multiple opportunities to access content and the learning process
• visible planning and teaching
• hub of information about events, groupings and progressions for both learners and parents
• weekly overviews and timetables

Keeping in mind, all of the learning that I have been given about Google Sites, I truly believe that this session (6) was the one that made me really think about how I had created my sites previously and gave me some positive direction into how my site/s can be improved for myself and my learners.  I will continue to work on my site/s and look forward to some feedback.
