Forgot to add an idea for teacher connection virtual office hours/teacher lounge/ happy hour! It makes all the difference as teachers.

Successes/Teachers

Hard to reach everyone with large class numbers.

Hard to reach students who are blind, deaf, or both.

Hard to give supplies for each individual student (especially with arts/sciences)

Collaboration is key. How can you get students to continue to collaborate while virtual. Resources and ideas:

G-Suite (google platforms)

Jamboard

Long-term projects and assigning areas

PHET

FlipGrid

Engaging Students, making it exciting:

NEPRIS (professional speakers) nepris.com

Guest Speakers

Minecraft (EDU version) Minecraft.edu

Giving them Choices- Using choice boards

Make it into a game: pictionary, drawing, slidemania (google slides templates),

Taboo (secret word to each person, then they have them describe)

Charades

Kohoot

Quizlet

Edpuzzle

Roll four dice (treasure hunter). Whatever the numbers adds up to: can only respond using 10 words or 10 brainstorm ideas.

Use timers

Engage parents

give resources

videos

(this link has videos to show how to use google classrooms: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQLmu079ua5EiDuZ26ShH_w)

Some teachers would send out week schedules/assignments at a time. This was helpful so that they could get it done on their time.

Flipped Model- Pre-recorded teaching and then interactive times and activities with the teacher.

Canvas system

Supporting Kids with additional needs:

Differentiated Learning- Small Groups meeting

Presenting so they just listen

Focusing on their highest learning preference (videos, reading, listening, etc.)

How can we help those who do not like or can’t do online learning or being on videos?

Include the students in coming  up with the plan for coming back to school in the fall.

To meet the needs of each student requires each student to be leading the design of their learning plan.

Need tools that can be differentiated to meet the needs of diverse learners. This includes software and online tools.

Be specific about the learner outcomes and develop benchmarks.  Works well with project-based learning.

Allow flexibility on how the students achieve their outcomes.

Discussed how school might look in the fall with social distancing.

Brandy introduced an App
* Scoutlier
combination of many tools   wrapped into one and is free
How to meet the needs of all students in a virtual setting?
* Hour of Code
They're in different levels. Allowed them to choose what they're working on. Much is self paced.
*Blended model where you have videos to help support learning. Can self check their work with a Google Slides where the students come up with the answers

* Within Google Classroom can go ahead and differentiate the type of assignment that the students receive.

Differentiating for students:
Asynchronous learners: Video instructions
Synchronous learning class later in the day

Edpuzzle: There's a library of videos

Edulastic - can put own content into the question (drag and drop, categorization)

Housing things within Google Sites ... limit the amount that they move from site to site or the amount of tools that are used so that they don't get lost

Learning Contract -
For variable level learners
Have them reflect upon their learning and the process
Grade via a feedback

Peer feedback

Desmos - desmos.oom

How to meet the needs of all students in a virtual setting?
* Google classroom
*Google Docs live in meetings, writing live comments as they do their writing
*JamBoard, sticky notes used for accountability and shows multiple ideas/perspectives
*Canvas, grouping assignments by modules, eduappcenter
*understand students' levels of comfort with tech/usage
*Google Voice, useful for sending materials back-and-forth
*Seesaw for communication with both students and parents
*EdPuzzle
*Flipgrid
*activelylearn.com
*DO NOT overwhelm students with a multitude of learning platforms!! Keep a routine schedule
*creating a library of resources (such as FAQ's, anticipating in advance what Q's students will have, or procedural steps that meets them in certain steps towards the instructional goal)
*Google Slides as a make-your-own adventure
*building a digital portfolio to share with your students who require help/want to know more
*Keep it simple with students accessing materials/links, make it a daily routine, easy to find
*making google docs as a living document! Holds all links and agenda for that specific day
*color-coding the dates/times/materials that coordinate to a specific module (or other structure)

Student Agency? How do we do that?
*giving them choice with what they know/don't know as a place to start/continue their learning
*google form at start, student survey ("what do you know about [an application]?"), gauge how comfortable students are using the tech
*Turn-and-Talk via Google doc, filling in via conjoining boxes

Going back to School?
*some items that are currently free due to circumstances may not be in the fall, what then?

UPDATE on Google Meet breakout rooms at bottom
=========================
Some of the programs were too prescriptive and getting buy-in from students was not happening.
Kids need to develop intrinsic motivation. Many dropped off when they found out there weren't grades.

Also Jon Corippo has written about having standard procedures for completing work so that kids can concentrate on learning instead of figuring out how to answer the question.

I know that when the COVID 19 crisis is over, or at least is no longer considered a crisis, we can make our society better than when the crisis began. The political and ideological divisiveness we faced the past few decades need not be the normal to which we return. We can choose to maintain the unity that was demonstrated on a daily basis when the crisis began, but it will require individuals to make that choice. This sight will provide posts and videos to help us navigate a path toward a better future for us and those who follow.
