Reflection on ‘Share’ Opportunities in Term 1 for students taking Design and Visual Communication. 
Share to be undertaken using the following:
Year 7-9 Blogs 
Year 10 Google+
Seniors

The following are examples of various ‘Share’ Opportunities in Term 1 for students taking Design and Visual Communication:

Year 7+8
My Year 7 and 8 students from the intermediates have been pretty regular bloggers about what we do in DVC. We have not done this every week though so I need to keep up with that. The students have used photographs of their 3D and 2D work and embedded their drive documents onto their blogs.

Year 9+10
I have not got into the habit of getting my Year 9 and 10 students to blog or use a community this term so that is definitely a goal for me for the second tech rotation going into term 2.

NCEA Level 1, 2 and 3
We share into the class Google Plus Communities so that everyone can see all of the work that is produced by everyone else.
We embed our drive documents and also put photographs of 3D work and scans of drawings so everything is included here.


Impact of ‘Share’ Opportunities in Design and Visual Communication for Students
For the seniors, it is good for them to share within the communities as it helps support them knowing what to do. This is especially important for those students who are new to the subject. What is also good about the communities is that I have used the same ones for about 5-6 years so the students can scroll back and see work from previous years.

  1. We have had similar experiences so far with our Year 7/8s, Year 9 and Senior classes in that my intermediates are blog on their work, my Year 9s are not consistently blogging (yet), and the seniors are sharing in Google+. Maybe I'll set myself a mini goal for Term 2 to get my Year 9s blogging at least a few times throughout the semester.
