I love the feeling of being introduced to something that I can immediately see will have a positive impact for me learners. That 'something' for me today is the Manaiakalani blog app. I have been feeling a little apprehensive about introducing students to blogging where there is a huge desire to share their learning with the world, but the technical skills and understanding are still at their early stages of development. This app features a much simpler user interface and gives students immediate access to the drive in order to share their DLOs.
One of the things I have been pondering, as I have been planning for facilitation, is how to differentiate my instruction and support learners to take greater autonomy in their learning. This is a great scaffold to ensure that the learning will be shared with the world while it is fresh and the enthusiasm is high. As students gain digital fluency, they can step up to the full blogger app. I plan to use this in the coming week - results & reflections to follow!
