DFI #6

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

Today Kerry spoke about Visible Learning she shared the benefits of making planning visible to learners being beneficial to those learners who might be disengaged or distracted while the teacher is orally delivering lessons. I am noticing that often my learners do not read instructions clearly and are lacking the agency to follow directions with out my support. I am finding that I need to have expectations that my learners will access their learning through the site, I need to ensure I provide "wait" time to allow them to think for themselves rather than rely on me.

It also makes me aware of the clarity of my instructions, often what makes sense to me is not translated into what my learners understand.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a

professional?

I have made my class blog more organised and I am trying to make it more multi

modal

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

Vanessa has taught me to set up a google sheet with restricted access to each
row. I will create one of these this week as a way of tracking my learners as they
complete tasks and record.

Here I am sharing my class site to the DFI group.
