Multi modal provides multiple opportunities to learn a concept. What engages one learner doesn't necessarily engage another. Engage your students to enable you to hook them in for the topic. Immersion assembly was a great idea from today to introduce the term's topic. Invest the time in something that you are able to use again. It was great to have the time to create a site today as that is something us teachers don't seem to have much of. I would love to use this with my students and get them to create a site.
I am finding that sharing what I am learning in our DFI course with my colleagues and students each week is allowing me to cement these skills.
Tips
- Show a video before you read a book to enable all students to have that prior knowledge and vocabulary.
- Guided browsing in Hapara - use in testing situations or when you want to restrict them to one page. Top right

Using DFI in the classroom - Week 3
Hi Kate. Lovely to read your blog and the layout is giving me some pause for thought about how I do my own blog. I've started to include links as you do, but the inclusion of images to support your comments is great. I like the idea, in particular, about what you intend to trial in the next week and think I will try to adopt a similar plan.
ReplyDeleteYou have summarised today so well Kate. Create is such a huge part of a student's learning and it is so important that we model and give them the opportunities to use their creative skills. Your multimodal site was fantastic and is a great idea to enhance the sharing of your ideas. Thanks for all your participation today Kate, glad you enjoyed the day.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate.
ReplyDeleteLoved looking through you multimodal site. Lots of great ideas and ways for students to share their thoughts and ideas.
I also liked the idea of sharing a video before reading to improve vocabulary, understanding and prior knowledge.
I love the table you are using to set out what you have found useful and the things you have learned during the session. It is very clear and easy to use.
Hi Kate,
ReplyDeleteIt was such a pleasure to meet you yesterday and I really liked the site that you created. Wonder was a fabulous choice as it is a really popular book at the moment - I wouldn't be surprised if it is used in another class very soon. I look forward to seeing what you create in the next sites session.
