Structuring DayMap

Structuring Learning

It is critical that students are provided with explicit information to guide their learning - but not too much so as to overwhelm students.

You need to provide structure on DayMap that displays

learning intention and success criteria
clearly sequenced task information
Any resource, logically named - either uploaded (requires students to download) or hyperlinked (opens in browser)

Of course Ferris Bueller would be working diligently online...
Just a simple quiz to get students to summarise their learning will assist them in retention of information at the same time ensuring the supervision of learning!

Supervising Student Engagement Remotely

You need to have a mechanism set up so you can ensure the supervision of students, making sure their are engaging in learning. This may be:

student work submitted through DayMap tasks
student work shared with the teachers g suite account
student documents pushed out using doctopus/google classroom
a google form/microsoft form
a self-marking quiz, quizzizs, quizlet, kahoot etc

This is one example of how you could make structure in a document that you then cut and paste into DayMap. In this example all the blue underlined text are hyperlinked to online resources (in this instance Google doc/slides links).

By structuring your lessons in a word document or a google doc, then cutting and pasting into DayMap you can create a readable structure. Click here for a template that you can get started with. I store the entire semesters work and so when I teach the next year, all the hard work has been done - rinse, tweak and repeat!

Another way to structure learning is to use a Google Slide which you can embed into DayMap.

Minimal information on each slide limits the information to a trickle.

Feedback from parents assisting their children during the last few weeks say they are very easy to follow.

This is how the Google Slide would look to students - it is embedded right into DayMap.

You can build in navigation, they can move forward one slide at a time. You can build all the necessary structure into the embedded presentation e.g.

notes, instructions, videos, questions, links to online quizzes.

This is another method similar to the first. It contains learning intentions and success criteria. In this instance it is a Word Document that the students click on. Having the same structure makes a digital routine they can easily follow.
