I have been using Flipgrid since Day 6 of the school year. Today is Day 67 and my classes have been assigned a total of 20 Flipgrids.  I try to assign at least one flipgrid per week.  Flipgrids allow me to see what my students are doing to be physically active.  Some students will show me themselves doing full body workouts, shooting basketball, lifting weights, or walking their dogs.  5 minutes = 10 pts.  Anything over 5 minutes is bonus credit.  I would use Flipgrid for students to tell me how they are doing and or their thoughts about a certain topic.  Some students will share more with you on a flipgrid then maybe a LIVE class sessions just because they feel like it is more private.

AP Central has videos; however, there are some glitches to the system.  For example, you can't upload them to Edpuzzle to add questions to check for understanding AND a student has to watch the whole video for it to show that they watched it (some are watching them but not watching the last couple of seconds so the system doesn't show they complete it).  To get around this, I have my students watch the video but they must take detailed notes to turn in and must write a reflection with questions they have.  These questions have led to great discussions during class.  I am using these to introduce a topic, for remediation, and extra credit opportunities for students.

My social skills class are checking to see how they are feeling/what zone they are in for each class. I have previously had them complete the graph on paper, but am unable to this year. Students were able to use Kami as a way to graph what zone they are in during each period. They are able to make notes about why they are in each zone as well. This is a great and easy way to allow students to self-regulate.

We had our students create a newspaper using material from the 1920s we have been covering in class, and leaving it open to their own research. We looked for many templates/websites but liked using a newspaper template for google slides; feel free to make a copy and use! -Kelsey Davis

During remote learning I believe it is more important than ever to get student feedback in regards to our teaching. I came across this Stop, Start, Continue form on social media. It was posted by an agriculture teacher that I follow and attend webinars with. It is not just for agriculture though. With the way it is set up it is completely anonymous for students to complete. I received a lot of helpful feedback, some that was encouraging and some that was like a hit to the face of "oh crap I haven't been doing that and I really need to." I would say based on some of the responses I received if you choose to use this you may want to adjust the wording. Many of my students answered questions as those it was things they should stop, start, or continue doing rather than me as the teacher.

To help students with setting up Read&Write and to help them understand how to use it, I found a youtube video and created a tutorial to help students understand and know how to use it.

To assist students with using speech to text on Google apps, I created a tutorial to help my students be independent writers. My students are able to use this on Google Docs, but also Google Slides and other tools I use with them.

I have been exploring with Kami and have discovered the split and merge.  This has been a great help with my EL class.  Since I have limited resources, the internet is my friend.  This app allows me to download PDF's and split out the sections I am working on for more concentrated lessons with my language learners. My Language learners are also using it to annotate and put answers on their PDF lessons.  All around great resource for that class.

I talked about Parlay a few weeks ago for delivering content and starting conversations among students. I have been using Eduflow for peer review and I really like it, but it is getting a little stale for my students. So, this week I decided to create a peer review activity in Parlay. It was really easy to set up ( I just linked the papers I wanted my students to look at) My students were them able to give feedback to the papers. It is anonymous to them, but I can see who writes what. I also like that they can see each others feedback and compare how they scored the essays. This helps them to better calibrate their own idea of how something should score. Here is a link if you want to see the activity and their work:

So I know we all know how to use google slides, BUT I have learned some neat little tricks that have saved me some time AND helped me create some asynchronous lessons for students that are easier to follow and a bit more interactive. I'm utilizing a "drag and drop" for diagrams, etc. The best part, it's free AND I don't have to worry about losing the platform access the following school year. I will have these forever and can tweak and reuse indefinitely! I'm attaching an example of a review lesson I made for students. (You are probably only able to VIEW only, but when I post on google classroom I make a copy for each student and they can manipulate their own slides.)

Again, I know we all know how to use google slides, but I've started using them as a way to organize lessons for students. I embed edpuzzles, google forms, etc. so that everything is in 1 place for students and not confusingly posted on google classroom.  Students tend to use google classroom incorrectly and get confused if there is an article posted as well as a video and/or a google form on the same assignment. This way it's a one post/one stop shop! (It's free and I don't have to worry about losing the platform next year either.) Here's a view only version of a Medical Terminology lesson that includes some Edpuzzles, a quiz at the end, as well as some activities for students to complete directly on their slides (vocabulary and drag and drop diagrams). It's not fancy, but I think it's effective.

I have been using Edpuzzle 2-3 times a week to introduce a concept to my students and/or lecture notes. For the past 2 weeks, instead of giving assignments, grading, and then giving feedback, I used Edpuzzle. I gave a problem, students were given a question to answer the problem, and then I explain the problem. This way students are getting immediate feedback from me on how to solve the problems, rather than waiting for me to grade the assignment. This allows them to self-assess their progress. It is also saving me time during zoom meetings because we are more focused on big misconception vs. small errors.

My family and I created a stress test using Google Forms to give our students.  This is a quick and easy tool that students take to let us know how they are doing.  There is also a section for students to give us a little more information if they would like to share something personal or if they are struggling with something.

We use guest speakers a lot in health, and though we haven't used as many as normal, we did during our drug/alcohol unit and this week Cara Starns joined us for sexual abuse and human trafficking. My students were very engaged by blowing up the chat and asking to share or discuss more about this after class. Our classes accidently lasted over an hour! The speaker was a great change of pace. She gave lots of facts, used PowerPoints and shared videos with real life stories and we had them chat when they saw red flags for sexual abuse or human trafficking. I encourage you to try to utilize guest speakers when you can!

During Learning Pods, I have had the chance to work with students in different subjects. One of the subjects I have been working on is PE. I wanted a fun and interesting way to do PE. We decided to do GoNoodle. GoNoodle is a way to have indoor recess with students. It has active and funny videos for students to watch. Though it is set up for elementary students, the students in the learning pod really enjoyed it. It has different activities students can pick from so that they can do activities more at their level and comfort zone.

Today was my final Tabata workout with my athletic conditioning class. Tabata is 20 seconds of movement with 10 second rest before going again. This is not a pro level Tabata workout but we are building up. This is part of our lesson from today. The guys did a great job overall. One thing was for sure. We had fun today! :) I will miss these guys. I can't wait to be back in person with them.
