The discussion around connectivity this morning was inspiring in that we are based in a relatively small school on the West Coast but we can readily connect with any Manaiakalani school in New Zealand. We share the same learning pedagogy (learn, create, share) and learning platforms which creates a real sense of community.
This learning community is helpful especially where schools use visible learning. It has helped me in my digital teaching journey as I can access many suitable learning sites and get ideas on what is visually appealing and easy to use in our classroom learning site.
Having a decent amount of time to look at other learning sites has helped me realise how important it is to use a site that is both visually appealing and easy to find your way around. Sharing our sites with our bubble group also helped me to really think about what we already use and how it can be improved.
I learnt that there is a student dashboard which was something that I was unaware of! I'll have a better look at this with students tomorrow and see if it would be beneficial to regularly use in the classroom.
Kia ora Andrea. I always find it useful to take the time to look at other sites. So many great ideas out there. After today do you see your students using the class site more often?
