For the Manaiakalani pedagogy aspect of this week, it was to be about 'Enabling Access' and being 'Connected'. It did seem like a restating of the weeks before. Recovering the concepts of connection helps with well being and that connection in education is not by default, but by design.
Again, google sites took a good chunk of the time. It was useful to view educational sites that have been produced by teachers with different levels of digital experience. Also to receive feedback on my class site by those same people. It would seem no matter where you sit on the 'google site experience spectrum',we all have something to learn, share and appreciate; which I guess is 'connected' in action.
I set myself the goal of tidying my class site home page, which was done by adding a new page and moving links to it. I did try something new, using the layout template with four pre-existing columns. Now, it was easier to insert links and label. But I felt frustrated that I couldn't click and drag or delete a column on the template. But I did tidy up the home page and create a new page, hopefully making it a more time relevant google site for my students.
