Create
When a slide show is in presentation, go to the Omni bar and high light from present, delete and replace with edit.
Create is about creating in all senses of the word. Not just on the computer but music, art, etc. Letting children learn, explain their learning and present their learning through many different avenues. All learners are given a way to learn and present their learning that suits their style.
Multimodal learning
Using videos before reading a new text, introduce the specific vocab, gives the students an idea of atopic they may not have come across before. Great scaffold.
Video and two texts with opposing views on a topic. Great for critical thinking.
Multiple texts on a topic; could be a video, poem, journal article, pictures, etc.
This is not a new way of teaching and learning. The new and now exciting bit is the way it can be done using technology.
Wow! The session on Multimodal sites was mind-blowing for me. Took time to get my head around even some of it. Was great to have the time to play and experiment.
Link to presentation on Google sites. will need this to remind me how it goes.

I genuinely see how these could be used in the classroom and will endeavor to help my staff use sites. This may take some doing but will be well worth it as it can only improve teaching and learning. Once I have added more to my values site and I feel more confident I will start to work on something for the senior class.
I have started to make a site around our School Values that I will endeavor to add to over the next few months. As a school we are intending to break the values down with the students and have them create videos explaining each one, it is my intention to add these to the site.

It was great to be able to support you through the MultiModel sites process today Mandy. You are so correct when you say the use for these sites is never ending and it is wonderful to read you comment about integrating them into your school. I was most impressed with your Values site and will view it with interest to see how you continue to add to it.
