Our class sites - is it visible to our students?
Today's session was all about being visible. When using one-on-one devices in the classroom takes a lot of responsibility from the teachers, students as well as their parents.
As a teacher, we can monitor where the students are currently working on and if they are using their time on the device for learning through the teacher's dashboard or google classroom. With this you can control which programs or links they use.
For parents, their should be a very good understanding why and for what the devices are used, not game playing......
This slide sums up the whole idea of the digital program and having engaging fully functional classroom sites. We as teachers should be able to share our work and ideas with our students anywhere anytime.
Google sites
This is the part I was waiting for..... learning to create an awesome site which will be engaging and easy to use by my students.
First of all I learnt the importance of making your Google documents visible to see. Hence the photo above. Planning your site on old school pen and paper is crucial.
Adding pictures and creating the buttons was so much fun. With the use of Google drawings and google search the options are endless.
I was amazed how easy it actually was to insert videos, pictures and of course hyperlinks and subpages.
I always admired the sites which was multi-model and now I can create my own.
This was my first attempt building a site. We got the theme : Garden with Science.
No, I can go and design my class site with absolute confidence. Hope the students will like it.
