Collaborative teaching and learning: building sites (Day-5 )

Today's session was started with Karakia, followed by connecting with each other. Dorothy talked about the Pedagogy and Kaupapa about visible teaching and learning.

Kaupapa is about making teaching and learning visible. Dorothy mentioned that the intentional use of technology was a game changer for visible learning journey for the learners. Manaiakalani program of using google sites by the teacher is promoting learning that is replacing old school stuffs e.g. usage of books and printouts . She also talked about class sites that was very helpful for the students. Hapara is designed for visibility for the teachers and learners so that any barrier is removed. Digital technology has been becoming a part of learning and it is removing barrier in the learning journey. I really like the Idea about that the visibility is really important in teaching and learning.

Hapara hot tip for today was highlights and help the students to do guided browsing. 

Deep dive in to Multi Modal Text:

We want to hook our learners to their learnings and connecting and interacting with each other. Different modes of communication highlighted by the Manaiakalani program to getting learner to personalized learning, empowering them, and engage them in their learning.

Changing the way of presenting the text and task and to make more interactive by adding more pictures and videos. It will really help the learners to be on task 

We had a discussion about the multimodal sites and talked about multi text data base. Main parts of the texts are main text, complementary text, scaffolding text to provides extra support, supporting students to engage , challenging text for giving more information. learners selected text as well. We can use different video text infographics for the use of multimodal in the classroom to engage the students.

T-shaped literacy provide wide reading opportunities to the learns so that they can find relevant information and connect with the previous knowledge. It is providing the learners the opportunities to become independent learners. I learned to use Padlet and we created a Multi Modal task planning that I found really helpful. I am going to use Padlet for collaboration and enhance literacy in teaching and learning.
