Today was the highlight in learning how to construct a Google Site for learning. Making learning visible using a 'hook' to engage the student in learning is my favourite theme for student engagement and motivation, and how we should go about it. The 'Pedagogy and Kaupapa' that encompasses making teaching and learning visible.

Visibility enables accelerated shift through multi modal design for behavioural engagement and multi-textural design for cognitive engagement. A well thought out concept Manaiakalani & Fisher Woolfe et al.

The Google Site for reading seems a great way to plan using the spreadsheet, using main text, challenging text and additional support using a multi modal approach.

The implications for teaching and learning is the rewindable aspect where students can always have a place to source their learning. I liked looking at other multi-modal sites made available with their HTML code available as a place to start with.
