It's hard to get invested in the discussion

# data[].attributes.body
It can be really easy to be disengaged. Being on a computer for a long time plus having to do homework on a computer can sometimes make my head hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I dont learn as well as I would in the class room. Also we miss out on any hands on activities we might be doing in class. Its not as engaging as in person.

# data[].attributes.body
I struggled to keep focused during online learning, and when we were able to leave and do work I found myself distracted and failing to do work. these equal a sub par learning environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Its hard to not get distracted by other notifications or my phone sometimes. It's also annoying because its easy for people to not participate and hide and so the quality of learning goes down and I end up feeling pretty disconnected from my friends.

15+ min lectures, a lot of additional homework.

# data[].attributes.body
Staying on for a long period of time.

# data[].attributes.body
When we had homework that we could only work on the computer and spent a lot of time on the computer during class.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't absorb material as well.

# data[].attributes.body
it's harder to focus and stay engaged when we're doing something for a long period of time. A lot of times it just feels like the teacher is talking at you.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like it was harder not to get distracted by things around me such as family members or noises

# data[].attributes.body
It's harder to be engaged for long periods of time, and it feels less hands-on.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like it was more difficult to ask questions and stay engaged. I also miss the social aspect of school and getting to work more with classmates.

# data[].attributes.body
Can be difficult to concentrate.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like online school had a greater impact on my energy compared to in person classes.

# data[].attributes.body
In the spring teachers often only used zoom, but I feel any software which enables students to be more interactive with the teacher and the class allows for crucial engagement. These can be sites like kahoot or quizlet. Or as simple as use of breakout rooms. :)

# data[].attributes.body
Kahoot !!!
Challenges/puzzles like the gene/forensic worksheet we did last year in Biology was a lot of fun. Also, collaborative assignments always make them more interesting for me.

# data[].attributes.body
There's an online annotation thing called perusall which could be good for research papers.

also kahoot.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the EdPuzzles and doing Kahoots

# data[].attributes.body

Kahoot, padlet, breakout rooms

# data[].attributes.body
Google Forms

# data[].attributes.body
kahoot, edpuzzles, padlet, assignments that get us off the computer (in ecology I loved the assignment where we listened to a podcast on a walk)

# data[].attributes.body
Padlet,

# data[].attributes.body
I got to dissect a pig at home for my biophysics class, this allowed me to better my understanding of the system that I was studying. So any hands on activities that we could do would be great!

# data[].attributes.body
This isn't an app per se, but I think breaking up Zoom for other work is ideal, as being on Zoom is a unique strain on focus.

# data[].attributes.body
Facetime, zoom, social media

kahoot and edpuzzle

Being in class the whole time but having moments to be in breakout rooms.

Social media and messaging things

Working away from the computer for a while would be helpful.

I really enjoyed being assigned a task and being able to do it independently. In one of my classes, we were all put in breakout rooms and the teacher would pop in a couple of times to see if we had questions. I also liked when we didn't have to stay in the call and would just check in at the end of class.

# data[].attributes.body
classes in the spring were very rough in the sense that nobody knew what was going to happen in the future and the tech was forced upon them. I think anything is a massive improvement from the spring semester/

# data[].attributes.body
I think over zoom it made sense to have more of a lecture style lesson and then be given time to apply it individually.

# data[].attributes.body
EdPuzzles, Kahoots, and independent work time.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed days where we had time to work by ourselves and outside of zoom in combination with reviewing the key parts of the days lesson before class ends

# data[].attributes.body
I like doing a shorter lecture/video and then having lots of time for smaller discussion in breakout rooms

# data[].attributes.body
Discussions were good (breakout room discussions can work well too). Watching/listening things on our own and coming back to the class with questions was good.

# data[].attributes.body
Facetime, Social Media

# data[].attributes.body
kahoots always

Social media and facetime

I really liked that we would have a short time in zoom class and then we could leave and just work on our projects or any work we have.

# data[].attributes.body
Podcasts (bc you dont have to be on a screen and can go on a walk or something while you listen)

# data[].attributes.body
Facetime, texting.

# data[].attributes.body
social media and messages

# data[].attributes.body
In SAS Ecology, I really liked taking walks while listening to assigned podcasts.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I really appreciated that James did last Spring was that he gave us time to do homework in class. It allowed us to ask questions as needed, and keep our time in class productive and engaging.

# data[].attributes.body
Off screen activities and picking breakout rooms always helped. Also, just breakout rooms where we were alone.
