Performance has gone downhill with time

Prior to the last couple of months, it has been a 5-star rating. I've been using this platform for making videos for 5 or 6 years, and have loved it for the ease of use and quick turn-around on processing. I pay for a premium account because of the many hours of content that I have. However, I have had SO MANY issues lately uploading and processing videos. (for example, today... I'm trying to upload a video and get the message "A server with the specified host name could not be found".) My students tell me regularly that they get messages " video not found"... half the class can get it and the other half not. The money for this account certainly does not come from our district... it's out of my own pocket. I'm going to have to consider a different platform if the service does not improve.

Eased transition during Covid but pricey

After we were sent to virtual learning, teaching secondary math became harder. Videos on the web never hit exactly what and where I needed or where my students were at. ShowMe allowed me to record my lesson just like I was on my whiteboard and it allowed my students to hear my voice and me explain it. I quickly learned I needed the paid version to be able to upload easily for me and my students. It is definitely an app I'd love to keep using for the online portion of my classroom as long as I can afford it.

Had potential but too costly for teachers!

I was excited about this app even though there are some whiteboard apps that are easier to use and more powerful out there. I decided to start with this one because a teacher friend uses it. Unfortunately, unless you have $100 a year to spend on this, it is useless if you are trying to teach since there is no way to store what you create without paying them to do it for you. I misunderstood and assumed there was a way for me to store my presentations on my own device or on Drive, but since that is not possible it's pretty much useless unless your school district pays for it for you. That's too bad, because it's the beginning of a wonderful idea and could be really helpful...especially during remote learning in the middle of the pandemic, but I can't afford this and don't know many teachers who can and that is particularly relevant in light of the fact that there are so many technical companies and app creators that are providing what we need for our students for free for right now.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How many of us have been formally trained to teach students living with adverse childhood experiences? When we ask this question throughout the U.S., few educators raise their hand. However, according to the National Survey of Children's Health , almost half of all U.S. children have experienced one or more types of serious adversity such as abuse, neglect, parental loss, or mental illness. What is not included in this survey are the countless additional children who have experienced living in war or conflict zones; being displaced, persecuted, or homeless; and other traumatic events that have significantly impacted their lives. These realities are important for every educator to consider - particularly as we honor Mental Health Awareness Month.

A first step for supporting such students' academic and socio-emotional development is to embrace a strong belief in them and their personal assets and strengths. That is, we must move from an empathetic-only approach to an empathetic and asset-based one that appreciates our students' many individual strengths. When we do this, we intentionally look for, honor, and acknowledge the values, attributes, and strengths that make every student unique.

According to large bodies of trauma-related research, this relational approach is more effective when it occurs in an environment that fosters a sense of belonging and of feeling valued, competent, and safe. How can we create a classroom environment that reflects these characteristics and capitalizes on our students' individual strengths?

Here are five elements of a strengths-based classroom environment.

The importance of our relationship with students cannot be overstated. It begins with getting to know them and building trusting relationships. An important goal from the very beginning of our work with students should be identifying their strengths and qualities, in the form of values and assets, and reflecting them back to students. Gathering information about students is a good way to build and strengthen our relationships and personalize our interactions with them. One example of this relationship-building practice is greeting individual students as they enter the classroom. Think about how a student would feel when her teacher greets her by saying: Good morning, Lucy. Great to see you after that tough game last night. I heard you were very determined on that court!

Students living in adverse conditions are more likely to experience a loss of control and feelings of powerlessness. Classroom environments that promote empowerment do so by providing many opportunities for students to build their confidence and capacity to speak up, address issues, take risks, and make decisions about what works for them. Welcoming students' voice and choice helps them to be involved in decisions that impact their learning. Asking a small group of students to suggest solutions to a challenging situation that affects them directly, is just one example of how educators can bring in student voice to our classrooms.

It is essential to develop lessons that meaningfully connect to students' experiences and encourage them to become emotionally invested in learning. For example, linking literary characters and literature to students' personal, cultural, social, and world experiences can validate students' strengths and interests. Further, characters and their actions can be discussed at great length to help students learn what others have done to overcome challenges.

A classroom is a haven for many students living with adversity. It is also a place that is conducive to learning because it takes into consideration students' needs and preferences. For instance, students should have input in the arrangement and design of their classroom including desks and wall space to facilitate collaboration, discussion, and individual work. This type of environment fosters a sense of belonging and of feeling valued, competent, and safe.

Classroom activities that use routines and rituals are critical for alleviating the unpredictable nature of living with adversity. They help students to reclaim normalcy and control by supporting a downshift from a fearful state to a calmer and more positive one. An example is a routine opening meeting to describe the day's schedule and discuss how students will transition from one activity to another.

Here are practices that Janetta Wallace, a high school chemistry teacher, uses to implement the five elements of a strengths-based classroom environment.

Janetta takes time to build relationships with her students. She meets with guidance counselors to find out about students living with adversity. She has students complete a series of questions on their first day of class. These include questions such as: Tell me about a teacher you really liked and what he or she did that you appreciated. How do you like to get feedback from a teacher? Do you have some specific concerns about our chemistry class?

Janetta looks for ways to make the chemistry content 'come alive'. For example, knowing that her students see or hear a train traveling by their school every day, she takes her class on a short walk to the railroad tracks. She explains that the tracks are welded together using a chemical reaction to form miles of runway for trains. When students arrive back in the classroom, she tells them to work in small groups to discuss how they think the tracks are welded together without engineers having to haul tons of metal to the location where the tracks are laid.

She involves students in designing the classroom environment for paired and group discussions. Because each group is creating a poster of their choice about the process of a chemical reaction, they are involved in more than designing the location of their seats, they also define what is needed on the walls of their classroom to help guide them in this task.

She assigns each student to specific pairs and groups that she believes will work well together. She also routinely uses positive, affirming language such as: That's an excellent use of logic. I appreciate your willingness to collaborate. You are using your great mind to figure out a response. And, she supports them to affirm each other in the same manner.

Janetta designs lab assignments around routines and practices that students must follow. She routinely begins class by posing a problem. She models how she wants pairs and then groups of students to work together to discuss possible solutions. At the end of class, she always gathers students together to review what they have learned.

When we create a learning environment where we intentionally incorporate these five elements, we are making sure our students who live with adversity feel empowered and are cognizant of their endless potential and amazing personal strengths.
