The 'learn' component of this weeks digital immersion was all about ubiquitous learning. This is about ensuring that our students can access their learning anytime, anywhere and any place. E-Learning and the use of Google Sites (that are open to anyone) allows for extended learning times.
How learning is ubiquitous for my students
Class Site
As we are a part of the Manaiakalani cluster, all schools and classrooms are required to have a Google Site, which is accessible to all. In Manaiakalani schools the expectation is that learning is visible. This means that every link needs to have the sharing permissions as "anyone with the link can view". To make this easier we create a main folder in our Google drive that has the permission "anyone with the link". This means that
Screencasts
I have recently created a Google site for reading and writing. To help ensure my students understand everything, I have included a range of screencasts. The screencasts help to the explain tasks and reading comprehension strategies
Teaching DLOs
I always ensure my teaching DLOs are linked into our class site. These DLOs are quite comprehensive and cover everything I am planning to teach. This enables my learners to revisit the learning anytime they need.
'Modelling Books'
They are not quite modelling books, but they are my take on it. Whenever we are learning something, I take photos of the students work. This is then uploaded onto a shared folder onto Google drive, which the students have full access to. A next step would be for me to add these folders to the site.
