Create
It was really interesting to hear Dorothy speak to us this morning about the 'creativity' part of 'create'. I think that I have been too hung up on having my students create digitally. This has resulted in less hands-on type of learning than what I would have done in the past. This has made me re-think other ways that I can reintroduce this in my class. For example, it could result in my students creating a model of a scene in their reading book and then creating a DLO to further share what they have learnt rather than creating in the same old reliable ways they tend to fall back on such as slides. I will re-visit this with my students to ask their thoughts.As a very uncreative person myself, I will make it a point to watch the TED talk with Sir Ken Robinson to help me support my learners. I will also share this with our staff to gauge their thoughts.
Multi-Modal
I was really excited when Clarelle said we were going to be creating our own multi-modal learning site. I can not believe that I hadn't made the connection that doing so is the same way that I made my class learning site! I have now begun to develop a site called 'Gardening with Science' to be used in term two. I look forward to completing this site over the holidays and seeing how it hooks my students in. It will be great to see what others have developed today. |
It doesn't look pretty yet but that can come later! Happy to have started developing my first multi-modal site today. |
Well done Michelle. It was great to see you being creative as you made your Multi-Modal Gardening with Science learning site. You are very creative within the digital environment, and that creativity will come through in the hands-on activities the students will come up with. Sir Ken is a real inspiration and worthwhile listening to, so good on you for planning to look into his Ted talks.
