MMTS is just for the ‘Explore’ part of the learning. They are not Hyperdocs where students are expected to develop and apply their understanding.
Acknowledge source when reusing. ‘Created by xxx, remixed by xxx’, ‘Inspired by xxx, recreated by xxxx’
Present work as not tasks to be completed (i.e. a worksheet) but as a springboard to further learning.
Teacher talk
“You have 8 minutes – learn as much as you can about refugees using this multi media text set. In partners, least amount of battery close your lid”
Feedback from questions posted from students – choose an open question (describe what open vs closed is).
“What is a search term you could use, how could you start finding an answer?” That is our lesson for today. Tomorrow we will do the same. For 5 days you will have the same routine – 8 minutes, post question, and explore the answers.
Collect comments on Padlet with no names as it is non-threatening.
No ear buds as students don’t work together. Used Closed Captioning to read the text and turn volume down.
Next session: “I’m going to let you explore alone”
Next next session: “I’m going to get you to choose if you work alone or in partners”

Extension: Student to create Text Set (share the template).
Design tips
- Process: brainstorm/curate on document. Highlight the good stuff.
- Gameboard template – view only, kids don’t need their own copy.
- Table template – student complete response on their own copy
- Use combination of icons, images, Youtube symbol for video.
- Use viewpure to remove recommended videos/adds
- Head box with action word (see DOK resource)
- Don’t over do these – perhaps before a novel or project.
Tools:
- Common lit: onscreen reading resources that tracks student engagement
- Noun project: source for icons
