In this Toolkit session I learnt how to use Mote within a Google Form not only for hearing the questions but to leave a response. I love Mote and use it all the time, especially in the multi model slides I create for reading. It's supportive for all but a real gem for the many tamariki that have a learning barrier. It allows the student to hear the instructions or the questions as many times as they like and they can record their thinking without getting caught up in the mechanics of writing. essentially removing barriers for their learning and empowering student agency. I was super excited to learn more ways I can use this extension.
Cheryl's session was so informative with little tips and tricks to improve the use of Mote and the many different ways you can use it. I enjoyed learning how you can view the responses from your Google Forms in Google Sheets and how you can track who has seen it and responded in your Mote activity & engagement folder.
I am looking forward to using Mote in a Google form in our curriculum program. I have started creating a bank of self assessments for the tamariki to do at the end of our Natural Disaster inquiry. I think it will be great to change it up a bit as we tend to use our trusted and known Google extensions and apps
. Mote is so user friendly and fast. If you haven't tried it... you must. It's great.
Kia ora Janine,
ReplyDeleteI so glad that this toolkit was helpful to you. I love Mote and have just discovered their resource section on their blog here
Looking forward to seeing how else you use it in your class.
