Students created Google doc journals that addressed serious topics about race, prejudice, abuse, bullying, gang violence, homelessness, misogyny, etc. that each student reflected on during the writing process.  I modeled what a writing journal looked like that embedded various strategies and tools for success.
This is an example of a student created journal reflection both written and reading video.

I used Webex regularly with all of my students.  I met with all sections weekly and then individually by period.  I set office hours weekly by appointment for those students that wanted to meet individually or in small groups.  These were some of the best moments during my remote learning/teaching practices.  One of my most successful workshop models was using Canvas Studio both in small groups and whole class sessions.  The lessons designed in Studio really addressed the needs of all my learners; scaffold lessons, "I do, we do, you do" modeling, and sample/translated materials.  Furthermore, Google docs was extremely helpful with organization for both me and the students during our remote learning teaching/learning.

Statistics in Research! It is not only important to conduct an experiment and collect data in a scientific research project but what is most important is what you DO with that data. The pathway that I worked on for this upcoming year focused on teaching students what KIND of data to collect for their project (what data is meaningful), how to ORGANIZE that data and finally how to ANALYZE that data using statistical tests.

My greatest success in distance learning this year came about after my first Webex meeting. I was feeling discouraged because as I asked questions I was only hearing from about one or two students out of 20+. As a result I completely reformatted my lessons and here's what worked for me:
1. created lessons to teach content using our digital learning platforms such as EdPuzzle, explorelearning.com (for labs), and Ck-12.
2. During webex meetings, I had students work through PearDecks with me so that I could assess EVERY student rather than just hear from the one or two who felt comfortable sharing out. I embedded assessment questions into the Peardecks to check for understanding of the material they learned in earlier days that week on the digital learning platforms.
3. Finally, after our webex sessions were over, I was able to review the results for each student and identify which students were on track and understanding the material and which students were struggling. I invited those struggling students to an extra help session later in that week where we reviewed content and identified misconceptions.
4. Finally, as unit assessments i didn't give tests, i gave students a choice board and where they were able to create something to show their understanding of the topic. For example I gave my 8th graders a choice board on how they wanted to share their understanding of solar and lunar eclipses. They could create a news article, write a children's book, record live from the scene of an eclipse, write a letter to an ancient civilization explaining to them that what is really happening during an eclipse so they were no longer scared, OR whatever they choose as long as it was approved by me first. The results of this project were really cool and the students did a great job.

I would like to create a learning pathway that has screencasts embedded to show students a multitude of things within the library- choosing a book, selecting articles, using databases, how to 3d print, how to design and discuss in a podcast etc. Exploring a topic of interest.

Remote learning made the library quickly reassess the need for more ebooks and audio books and making them available as well as finding ways to be more available to communicate with all students who may have a need.  In addition it helped to amplify the fact that resources need to modified and accessible in one simple location going forward.

I used screencasting to review skills before written assignments. These reviews were too "lecture" driven to do on WEBEX. So we would keep Webex meetings for Pear Decks, Group Work, short lessons, with activities to break up the "teacher talk" and keep students engaged. I used the screencasting videos to provide review material. Students could forward the video to the most appropriate concepts/skills they wanted to review, so it was differentiated. - Claudia Rudnet

Students are introduced through an EDpuzzle, choose an activity where they learn how to use it and then apply it to solve a puzzle of getting a boat to travel a safe path without getting stuck in shallow water. The pathway also includes two PLIX and an explorelearning simulation. Looking forward to seeing how the students do!

I also posted links to usernames and passwords just in case students forgot....which never happens...It worked out well! - Tom Wilkens

What worked well for me was creating Youtube videos of my notes.  When asked, the students all agreed that they liked hearing my voice.  In my videos I would go through questions and talk about my thought process.  I framed the content and walked them through the what, why, and how of each example.  Then students would have to submit their notes to prove they watched the video.  Some worksheets were structured "I do"  now "You do" and other times I used a mathspace to reinforce what they've learning from my videos.

Assessments is where I gave students more of a choice.  The very first assessment I gave under quarantine offered no choice and the responses were boring and I feel like that students did not enjoy it.  They were compliant.  After listening to their opinions and concerns I changed the upcoming assignments.   I let them choose the equations they wanted to solve and gave them a choice on how to present their knowledge of solving them.  The work I got back blew my mind.  I really got to see their creativity shine!

The most challenging part during remote learning was to stay connected and reach out to my students. I found Remind really helpful because students got my text messages right on their phones. I would sent daily reminders of assignments due, Webex meetings, missing assignments or just a quick "Hello, how are you doing?". Students stayed connected through Remind as well. They would asked me questions  from an assignment and I will set up the problem to get them started  or give them clues. Parents received my Remind messages too.
I used Edpuzzle to teach the material. For my ENL students, if I  assigned a video in English, I would do a mini lesson in Webex in Spanish and vice versa. I used Mathspace, Castle Learning and Quzizz for practice and assessments.
What students like the most was that they could find everything organized in one place, since all the apps we use are connected to Canvas.

In Algebra 2 and Precalculus - we are going to focus on writing the first unit of the curriculum. As Kim mentioned, it's the foundation of the entire course, and the students must have a deep understanding of it since it carries over into many other topics throughout the entire year.
In APCSP - we are going to revisit the curriculum outline since there were many changes to the 20/21 curriculum.

I would say that creating EdPuzzle videos was very helpful. At the end of every video, I would ask students for feedback and it helped me continue to improve my videos to best fit their individual needs. I did a flipped classroom model, where students would have to watch a video for homework, and we would review the topic in class the following day on Webex. It was a great way to reinforce the material and have that "class time" to work together on practice problems, interact, ask questions, and use various applications to host review games.

Screencastomatic and Mirroring360. I used my desktop to record my videos, with my iPad connected through the Mirroring360 application. Screencastify allowed me to show myself in my videos with my iPad in the background. I felt it was a nice way to get that "classroom" feel as much as we could by the students being able to see me in the video, rather than just hear me.

I also think a consistency in scheduling was helpful. Students knew that notes would be posted every day at 7:30am and due the following day at 7:30am (if there were any changes, they were notified in Canvas). Also using the calendar on Canvas was extremely helpful and kept the students organized. I put their Webex meetings and any upcoming due dates into their calendar, so they knew where to go to see what they had to do for the day.

Parent Contact! I was in touch with parents, so there were no surprises. Although parents have Canvas, many of them do not really know how to use it, or are busy and don't have time to check it. Keeping parents updated was a great way to get some struggling students to do their work. It was the extra push they needed, and most parents were supportive.

I will develop lessons that encourage students to create visual solutions to each artistic problem in a variety of media. For each assignment they will marry pencil and paper with a computer generated solution. Lessons that help students connect, contemplate and create. Helping them to take virtual tours of museums, engaging digital technology for the future art curricula. Their aesthetic experience can be broadened by teaching versatility.

The main theme across my lessons and classes through quarantine was to find the extraordinary in the everyday ordinary. To find a way to gain optimism and support those around you. We are a community whether we are online or face to face. Creativity can channel the good. Our students found it and showed their voice visually.

Photography is a gift to communication. During our WebEx sessions my photography 2 classes discussed with me their need for expression and communication with others during quarantine. We decided that we would collaborate together to develop the list of projects they would be required to submit.  Not only did they chose to submit more then I would have required from them, but they chose subjects that allowed them to communicate to me their personal feelings about current events and ways they were focusing on being positive and activities they were taking part in with their families. I learned so much about these wonderful individuals and each picture was worth a thousand words.

The theatre students wrote monologues based on characters they developed themselves. Each student wrote a monologue that was so creative and relatable. This was an outlet for them to open up about how they are feeling during these times, or allowed them to find humor in this situation. Here is a funny example of one of the students monologues.

What’s For Dinner?

A Monologue from Stranded

A mini summary: Josephine Russo is fed up with her family and their poor dinner options. Why

do they always want chicken for dinner? Dive deep into Josephine’s story as she reminisces on

how her passion for cooking came to be and why she cannot bear to eat another piece of

chicken.

I’m basically the Theresa Giudice of Essex County. EVERYBODY knows my name.

When you hear “Josephine Russo” around here, you imagine a movie star. To be honest, who

doesn’t want to be me? I know all the hot gossip–I know every mother’s in-depth story of how

they birthed their child, and why they’re currently fighting with their husband. But, ever since

quarantine rolled around, things have been; dry, I mean, I barely get to go outside anymore!

How am I supposed to have my weekly tittle-tattles with my girlfriends at the Greek restaurant

down the street? I can’t whisper in their ears when they’re six feet away!

However, I’ve been spending a bit more time with my family. It’s been pretty nice, I have

to say. Except, for one thing: dinner

​As an Italian girl, I love my grand meals–pastas, pizza,

prosciutto, the whole nine. But for some reason, I can’t get my family to feel the same way! I

mean, my son, Tommy, has refused to eat anything but chicken for the last 3 months. It’s driving

me bonkers. I mean, how many different ways can you make chicken? I would usually never

cook dinner this often, but since we’re stuck inside, I have no choice but to do so. At first, it was

fun; reminiscing of the days I would cook for my grandmother while she would praise me for my

amazing skills. Now, it’s torture: “Mommy, make this!”, “Mommy, I don’t like this! Make me

something else!”

At this point, I’m considering self-isolating and making my husband cook dinner. Lord, have mercy on my stomach!

The unit that I want to focus on is a storytelling unit where students can develop their own storytelling, apply  techniques, research and perform. I want to discuss the origin of storytelling and for students to be able to learn the preparation for interesting storytelling.We can outline & evaluate and analyze successful storytelling and writing and presenting before an audience. Reviewing public speaking techniques will be apart of this unit as well.

After realizing how overwhelmed the students were at the beginning of all of this, I wanted to be able to provide them with a multitude of choices when starting our newest unit. I tried to give them choices to create, explore and build upon their interests. This really allowed them to take ownership of their work and be proud of what they accomplished. With specific instruction and a variety of tools and resources, they presented their projects and their work was incredible.
