Learning about making a new Google site was very useful. Thanks Clarelle. I am going to try my hand at creating a school site.
Using new Google sites to create actually looks way easier than the classic Google sites creator that I am used to.
Finding multimodal texts around a topic for students, and making a unit plan of teaching was a learning experience worth spending time on.
Engagement starts with the teacher. Multimodal engagement is the way to go. We want our children to be active, future focused learners (NZC).
Some important links I will share with my colleagues:
A very productive session in which I learned a lot. Thanks Gerhard, Dorothy and Clarelle.

Hi Elfrida, thanks for these reflective comments. It is great having you in this group, bringing your experience as an original Manaiakalani teacher is a bonus. Your gardening site looks great and you whipped that up inside a couple of hours. It would be great to see you build a school site using Google Sites. The time is in the planning and if you did a thorough job of that, building the site would be quick. We do have a contact who helps a few of our schools put a professional polish on the homepage if you are interested.
