Although I am still quite slow at keeping up with today’s learning, I have found it quite exciting. Especially what I can do with practice and collaboration with my school colleagues as well as the awsome supportive whānau of Manaiakalani.
What I was most excited about of course is the multimoda model. Many of our children have access to digital devices, and many are visual learners. Really appreciate the behavioural and cognitive model. So important that I ensure that my goggle site work includes this.
Although I had many idea, I only managed to do my title page. I believe it is ongoing work in progress and I will continue with this mahi within the next two weeks.
Kia ora Judith,
It is wonderful to hear that you found the multimodal session so exciting! Your thoughtful reflection on how many of our ākonga are visual learners is spot on—ensuring your site work includes these behavioural and cognitive models will be a game-changer for their engagement.
I am so positive about your progress; even if you only managed the title page today, starting is the most important part of the journey! To be even more helpful, as you continue this mahi over the next two weeks, you might like to try using the “Layouts” section on the right-hand side of Google Sites. These pre-made blocks make it incredibly quick to organise your images and text in a professional way, which can really help when you have “many ideas” but are still getting up to speed with the tools.
I look forward to seeing how your site develops as you practice and collaborate with your colleagues!
Ka pai koe for getting your blog post published!
Mā te wā,
