Digital Fluency Session 4 - Sharing is as old as Adam and Eve

Sharing

Sharing is as old as time but with media it is has become more user generated and amplified.

Create is a hook for learning and so can Sharing be a hook for learning. Need an audience, sharing via internet is larger. Authentic Audience - on the internet people can choose to listen/read.
Blogger only legal site for primary children. Most are illegal eg Facebook.

Sharing is not the end of learning. It can be a trigger to help continue with learning. And people can revisit it creating rewindable learning. Sharing is not the end for us as teachers either the feedback and feed forward is important for the learner to helping them to see what is next and what they have got.

3 quality posts in a week increase learning acceleration, 2 posts maintain learning. Commenting helps draw students back to the learning.

Google Sites 

Multi Model - Many different ways. Multiple modes of presenting learning. Engaging both behaviour and brains.

UDL - Universal Design for Learning

Text is not just the written word, sound bites, you tube, site with information... 

This helps acknowledge that every child is different. Remember some learn kinetically, orally, dramatically/performing, reading the written word.

To get full engagement and understanding you need to hook the students in using different modes. 

This is engaging for our learners - Engagement = The Hook

Eccentric - Need to think about the shop window how can we get them to school, ready to get to come to class and learn.  (Especially for the compulsory sector).

Try making our class sites eccentric.

I enjoy working with Multi-modal activities, as I feel energised just organsing them and finding them.
