Teachers as Learners - Collaborate on Sites

It was exciting to see teachers learning about the concepts of Share and Multimodal, then looking at examples of Multi-texts and finally creating examples of these on google sites.

As some have suggested this can be a roller coaster ride of feeling overwhelmed at times and then of having time to catch up in other parts of the day. Thanks for the analogy, Cathy.

As well as all this learning, some of it was on a Google Meet. Hearing Dorothy explain about 'Share' from afar and seeing the slides on the big screen.  These teachers did very well.

I am always impressed with the way people make connections to their own contexts and learning. Those who do this at a deeper level are empowered. Teachers empowered to take effective teaching strategies and then turbocharge their teaching using digital tools. A very powerful combination.

I am so enjoying the journey with these 'teachers as learners'.

  2. Thanks Maria - you thought on your feet and kept on trucking when Dorothy didn't come through on the hangouts. Getting plenty out of each day - I'd like some of the senior managers to be on the course too. Although I'd probably make fun of them.

    1. Good idea Wille that management should be attending DFI. Are you an influencer at GBHS and can make this happen?
