Being a part of the DFI in the second half of 2020 couldn't be more timely - as hindsight is a wonderful place to further our learning about connectivity after the first half of 2020! Our class site was created as a place parents could go for learning activities during the first lockdown in March, but the learning throughout DFI the past couple of weeks I have discussed with my Team Teachers about using it to make our process more visible. I took the feedback from today's bubble session and created buttons on the home page of our site. Currently, they just link to the appropriate pages but as we begin to add to the site we can change that. It takes quite a while to get it all set up and I feel like you could spend an infinite amount of time adjusting and improving a site - and working in a Team Teaching environment we all need to play a part in the design and use of our shared Team Site.
Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous that you have found some ways that you could adapt your site to sharing the learning and make it more visible for the students and whanau. Don't feel that all the changes will need to be made this year. It is hard once a site is up and running, to change the whole process of how it works to make it more child friendly. What you have added - the buttons and the teacher emoji's - looks fabulous. This will make it easier for your students to navigate. You have the know how now, and I'm sure next year your site will completely rock it!
