Information and Professional Learning for Staff

1. Quizlet Diagrams: I just received an email letting me know that Quizlet now has interactive diagrams. This is great for visual learners, who are able to see pictures and label accordingly. Some great examples for Science, Social Science and Language teachers all ready to go!

Discover Diagrams

2. For Google Suite users: If you would like to share an easy-to-copy preview of any document with your students, you are able to create the url using the 'share' option on any document. Once you have that link,  replace /edit at the end of the url with /template/preview.

When a student or another teacher goes to look at the document, a 'Use Template' button will appear. Clicking on the document makes a copy of the original document and will be saved into the persons Google Drive. It allows people to look at the resource and decide whether it is useful before the link is clicked.

An example can be found at: Magnetic Poetry

3. Universal Design for Learning(UDL): One of the Late Start options this week was taken by Pauline (GHP) on UDL. UDL is defined as 'is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn'. (udlcentre.org)

Pauline has shared the presentation HERE and has included lots of links to videos and resources that you could use.

If you want to know more about what UDL - watch the introductory video below.

There are a number of sites that have collated resources that can be used by teachers that encompass UDL principals - for example 'UDLtechtoolkit'

4. Creative Commons: And finally just a reminder where to go and find out more information around Creative Commons and where to make your sharing diagrams - visit: http://creativecommons.org.nz/
