Kaupapa of Visible Learning:
The value of visible learning is that you shouldn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it all out.
Sites should be easy to navigate for everyone. The 3 clicks to get to the heart of it all is a good check and measure. I agree that any more than that and it impacts on the motivation to keep looking/learning. Visible learning makes learning easy, accessible and therefore more likely to be successful.
Multimodal: The range of tools and ideas available to enhance learning. Presenting learners with pathways that will engage and cater for different learning styles is powerfully motivating and exciting.
Blogger Visibility: Brand new learning for me and very useful as I will be able to provide feedback class by class over time if I set myself and support staff achievable goals of commenting on students blogs. I had no idea this was a feature of Hapara. How amazing!!!
T Shaped Literacy: Woolf Fisher slide presentation is a great overview of what this is all about. The biggest challenges I see are finding the range of different text types and ensuring they match the needs of students. I developed a T Shaped literacy site with Learn/Create/Share in mind which I will develop more over time.

Kia ora Raina,
ReplyDeleteI love the way the digital tools mean that we can share our mahi with one another and learn from one another.
A great idea to get support staff commenting on learner blogs. They will need the access to Hapara TD. I also agree there is power in you as Tumuaki commenting on learner's blog posts. Asking teachers to recommend blog posts for you to comment on is a pssible strategy.
