I learned that we as educators need to be leading the learning using google sites. Our google sites need to be visible, we need to be learning, sharing, and teaching. We need to accelerate shift. Being visible promotes effective practice and our role as a teacher is to ensure the nature of assigned tasks are relevant, our site needs to be easily accessed and allow our students to have choice and collaboration. Our google site needs to empower and be accessible not only for our students but also our whanau.
I learned that there is a purpose of a learning site for empowerment and visibility. It needs to be visually appealing. The layout needs to be consistent and simple for people to navigate through. I was able to embed my timetable. I was able to use google drawing to upload buttons for my site.
I can give my students/whanau the opportunity to navigate through our class site. I can ask for feedback from students/whanau to enhance/improve our site. I was able to be inspired by other teachers' class sites and identify what worked well and didn't work well. I was able to create my timetable and embed it on my site to edit. I'm excited that I created my site from scratch and I'm looking forward to sharing this with my students.

Talofa Helen, I was hoping you would have shown your site on your blog post. you really did do a great job in creating your site. Look forward to hearing on Thursday if you have continued to do some more mahi on your site and the feedback from your tamariki as I know you share your learning journey on DFI with your class. You are doing an awesome job in taking in what you are learning and sharing/implementing in your practice. See you on Thursday. Amy
