Digital Fluency Intensive - Session 6: Enabling Access - Sites

Today we continued to focus on Google Sites. We discussed the importance of visual appeal (like a shop window) to engage children, functionality and accessibility. It has been really helpful today to see examples of other class sites, and I have seen plenty of ideas that I would like to incorporate into my class site.

We were given time to work on our class site today. My goals were to tidy up the 'Monday Funday' and 'Inquiry' parts of the site, and to add some more resources that I have come across today.
To tidy up parts of the site, I resized, rearranged and restyled buttons to make the pages more clear and functional (see some of the buttons I created below). I added a couple of the resources that I came across today when looking at other people's sites, and I have more that I would like to add when I have more time.

At the beginning of this year, I adapted last year's class site, but after the last two DFI sessions I now know for next year how to create a new class site from scratch.

I have gained lots of ideas from this session, and I will continue to have a look at other sites to see how I can adapt and change my own site.
