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.
