GCE L2 Units 6 & 7 Reflection
a) Unit 6 & 7 were really helpful because it made me think about what I am currently doing in the classroom and how to make it better! I love the idea of having differentiated Google Classroom sections, and make it a personalized way for students to work independently or collaboratively with their peers. Also, I definitely want to learn more about the "cards" feature on Youtube- it seems like it could be really helpful.
b) I hope to use Google Sites more with my students. I have always wanted student made portfolios, so they can see their progress overtime and it would be a helpful tool for parents to track and observe as well. I am hoping to use it in Trimester 3 coming up and have students pull what work they are most proud of and can showcase learning for parents and classmates.
Jordan, great reflection. I love your idea of student created portfolios using Google Sites. My son is in Pre-K and I see the progress work they do on simple things like coloring or cutting. They do it each month and then they put it in a binder at the end of the year so they can see how much they've grown/learned over the year with their skills. I love the idea of older students doing something similar in a digital form that they can create and share, not only as a way to look back on their work, but also allowing them to reflect on it and maybe create a caption to capture their comments & thoughts about their work to review later as well. Hope you get a chance to dive into that in Trimester 3 coming up!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, have your students ever created a website or a blog? If so, what have you used in the past. I wanted to compare different platforms with google sites since that's all I am familiar with.
