Link to my Site


The use of Google sites has been a great tool for presenting not only work for the students, but a good preview for parents when helping with subject selection for the following year.

When I first started using Sites I felt a little over welmed but within a couple of hours with the help of a Manakalani crew I now feel confident in using this application. 

A good lesson I have learned.

It is helpful if each area of a department works on their own site, this will prevent the lost material and un doing of each others work.

I am really glad we did the show and tell on sites today. It was great having a look around other sites to get a gage on how our sites are progressing . There are plenty of great sites out there and find the simplier the site the better.

I think it is very important that the pages aren't to busy.

    Kia ora Mike,
    Great to see you have found some value in exploring the use of Google Sites and specifically the application of this in your own school. It's also wonderful to hear your confidence is growing as in my opinion, this tool has one of the greatest potential to amplify great teaching practice and cater for a wide range of needs and personalities within our classrooms. It's great also that you are sharing your reflection on how departments can best ensure a user-friendly experience with Google Sites - it's so disheartening to have your hard work undone! This will be a great practice heading forward for your school, I'm sure. Well done on putting some clear thought into creating sites that are functional and user-friendly for your lucky students.

Day 2 DFI MY

By -
Each day with the course I become more confident in talking and presenting amongst my group. It’s good to put myself in the student’s shoes and is a good reminder when I am designing pieces of work to remember to slow things down to accommodate for students that could be lacking in confidence or even just need more time to process things. Like myself! Teaching my students to blog and record their processes is a good way of recording evidence and communicating with stakeholders etc. Using feedback to inform their decisions.

Day 1 DFI

By -
Day one of the DFI was a great experience. Even though I felt a litle left behind I managed to complete most of the tasks and be on time to all the group meetings. I enjoyed learning to use Google docs to a greater level than just writing a letter/ message. The use of the explore and how to use titles will be of use and look forward in teaching my students these skills.  The use of the referencing tool will be useful for my senior students who are heading off to university at the end of the year. This is my first blog ever and looking forward to the next 8 weeks of this coarse learning some new skills to pass onto my students.
