DFI Session 6

 Following on from last week we continued to look at class sites. 

Our class site is multimodal through a range of curriculum areas and experiences. We have personalised the learning to suit all modes. Our learning slides display the main areas for people to access within 2 links. Something we have been working on is adding recordings and videos to our slides or reading texts for students that prefer that mode over the reading. This helps our students who may find texts challenging as well. 

Reflecting on feedback from members of the course they loved the visuals and photographs. In particular photographs in the teacher description. In terms of using the site, students have said it easy to use because the main things they need to access are on the home page. For whanau we have created videos on how to connect to our Dojo which was our main portal for messaging parents during lockdown.

Today, upon reflection and feedback from the members of the course my goal was to make our team site easier to navigate. In response to this one of the students created a video navigating our class site to share with people that visit our site.
