Visible TEACHING AND Learning

Visible learning means that what you teach and what students learn, create and share is accessible online by anyone via your class site.   Think of your class site as your virtual extension of your classroom.   It's where students go to 'rewind' previous lessons for deeper understanding, to know what's coming up, and to access learning resources. Students away on school trips or family holidays, or sick at home, can still see exactly what's going on, and can catch up.  Importantly, in these disruptive times, visible teaching will ensure your students can seamlessly access their learning via distance.
