Tuesday 8th June Enabling Access- Sites

Connected- Manaiakalani- Dorothy Burt

Being connected doesn't work unless we embrace visibility. Creating a network for learners. Continue to share with others in the connections we make.
Continue to promote "positive, helpful, thoughtful" having opportunities to practise connecting with others in a positive way.

Leading Learning using Google Sites

Purpose of learning site:

• rewindable learning, 
• accessible for all, anytime, anywhere,
• personalised learning,
• visible planning and teaching
• hub information, re events, grouping and progressions for both learners and parents.
• weekly overviews and timetables.
• multiple opportunities to access content and the learning process.

Using sites enables accelerated progress through turbo charging the learning through digital learning.
SAMR- substitution, augmentation, modification, redefinition.

Having rewindable, multiple opportunities to make learning visible, whanau can have access to learning
Having visual appeal- main colours- simple layout, use simple fonts, multimodal, ensure visibility.
The key to the Junior Explorer site will be to keep it simple, use mobi as well as written instructions- keep in mind my audience- the ease for the children to use and for their whanau.

It was really useful looking at the other sites- particularly the Junior sites. 

Looking at junior sites.

It was fantastic having the time to play and look and see what others are doing. It was a daunting experience to have others look at the site- 

The long term goal to create class sites across the Junior team. I guess the more access children have to the I Pads then we will make greater use of having class sites and for whanau having visibility.

Today I have worked on the Three Little Pigs slideshow.  it was also fabulous having the advice to take do set a goal and it achievable. I also really appreciated the feedback I gained feedback on colour shemes- layout and having a couple of sets of eyes to look at the Three Little Pigs slideshow to make it easy to use and visually appealing.  I will put this on the site- which I need to work on the visuals- buttons for subject area and a small amount of things to see on each screen.
