She has created a site for the school with information and resources for teachers.
It also has links to teacher sites from Manaiakalani schools.
Visible learning means what you have on your site is accessible to EVERYONE - the REST OF THE WORLD! Your students can access it without having to talk to you! If they are away from school, they can access it from home if they are able to or access it independently once they are at school.
We also looked at bloggging
Why Blogg?
To share learning, information and ideas
Make connections
Allow students to express their views and ideas
Get feedback and ideas from others (including readers outside your own circle)
Keep track of learning
With digital learning a part of school life, it is important for all involved to be cybersmart.
Today's session which was about an hour and a half and provided a lot of information about Visible learning. It was good to learn about what comments on blogg should be about, and also got to make some comments on a couple of students' bloggs. Thank you Lenva for this very useful session. I look forward to using some of the things I learnt today.
Thank you for your blog Seini! I enjoyed reading about how you've found Lenva's session useful. I am interested to learn more about what you would like to use and would love to see it in practice:)
