DFI- Enabling Access

Sharing teaching and learning with children, (or Visible Learning) is a relatively new concept. Not something I was lucky enough to have in my own education. Now, students can access their learning autonomously, anywhere, anytime. For most children, this is a real driver in their success as a learner.

The Manaiakalani view on Visible Learning takes this concept even further... teaching and learning is visible for not only students but for whānau and colleagues as well. A great example of this is the Hapara Parental Portal- basically a way to share students' 'books' with their parents directly.

Using Google sites is a way of sharing planning to children and whānau. In our hub we have begun a site and the process of making our teaching more visible. This is a work in progress.

Today I built a Digi-club site so students could do rewind learning and access the resources for Tahi Rua Toru Tech club.

I can really see the value in Visible Learning and is a journey I'm excited to be on.

  1. What a great idea for a site Taryn. This will be a very useful portal for the learners in the Tahi Rua Toru Tech club. I am looking forward to seeing where you take this concept of Visible Teaching and Learning in your context.
