What is the food of the Leader?

Today brings to mind my role as a leader in a school.  In the session today we learnt about making what we do visible to others and for our teachers, visible for students and their whanau. 

My learning journey through digital technology has been just that.  It seemed easy to share knowledge and ideas with my cohort - my staff - in a Professional Learning Meeting, but to put it out in the open, on blogs and sites was different and difficult - more people could see it.  I spent "Pinterest" time exploring how to make a good blog and blog post...I must admit I wanted to be perfect!

The pedagogy of Learn Create Share is making our learning visible to others.  We are expecting our students to put up work (which doesn't have to be fully edited and perfect), then what am I worried about!

Aside from Blogger, the use of Google Sites allows us to create a website for others.  How special, having my own website - simple and creative - allowing the use of all my new learning to go into one spot to be shared with others: YouTube Channel, Google Drawing, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides...  What you can create, seems achievable.  Put my creative spin could be great too!

Today's new learning around exploring multi-modal, multi-textual and T Shaped Literacy is going to cumulate into a Google Site with purpose and application.  I am putting my 2020 Inquiry on "Learning Support" into an easy to access a site with links to a variety of texts/resources that will capture teachers, provide learning for them and through critical thinking, have an opportunity to create their own resources to support their learners in the classroom.

So what is my checklist for inclusion in my new Google Site!


Here is the beginning of my new Google Site: Learning Support

Finally, the Whakatauki that began my thinking in this post:

Acquire knowledge and share with the people!
