Enabling Access - Visible Teaching & Learning
Today was a great reminder about how to get the most out of Visible Teaching and Visible Learning. When looking at a range of Google class sites, it was evident what was working well and what was not. Everybody obviously has their own preferences for some things
(style/colours/themes etc) but there are simple rules to help us to ensure we are making them as accessible and usable for our learners and their whanau.
The sharing of our own google sites was a stressful experience for me as I knew I had not made many improvements to it as I had been using Hapara mostly for sharing resources and tasks with the students.
My first goal this afternoon was to tidy up the home page. I really liked the sites that had student photos so I used a class photo for my home page. I also liked the pages that had a few main buttons to direct students to their learning. I have like the way my Literacy, Inquiry and Maths buttons are now clear and bold have decided to leave the other simple ones below as it still might provide a bit of a short cut for some. New Look Home Page below!
