I definitely want to try Google slides.  Since I am teaching summer school, I may experiment with the smaller group.  I also created a flipgrid account.  Again, using my summer school group will allow me to have some trial and error experiences!  I would love to do digital anchor charts, but Fountas & Pinnell as well as our coaches and administration does not allow us.  I think using the digital anchor charts would be a time saving technique as I spend hours creating charts that are big and bulky and never get reused.

One thing that I have done a great job with during the school closure is taking advantage of many different online professional developments. This allows me to continue learning and keeping up with the virtual world, as well as learning more about areas of interest for me.
One challenge I for-see with online professional development is getting lost exploring too many options and never picking one, or getting confused and frustrated with navigating technology.

There are so many different tools that Google has to offer. One that I find very useful is the Google Forms/Quiz tool. Next school year I want to try both. Google Forms is an excellent way to track, analyze and graph behavior data. It is super simple for teachers to quickly fill out, and the various data charts make analyzing data quick and easy. Creating a quiz is also a great way to quickly assess student learning at the end of a lesson. This could be used as a quick exit ticket, or used to assess mastery at the end of a unit.

I am looking forward to trying out Choice Boards during the 2020-2021 school year. Choice Boards are an excellent way to tailor instruction to each students individual needs. As an Intervention Specialist, I find that giving students options instead of choosing for them not only helps with engagement, but it also gives them a bit of "control". Choice Boards could be used during station rotations, homework, morning work, etc.

Google Meets has many challenges due to its limitations.  Yes there are many extensions that can be used, like Jam Board, but many people do not know all the options available.  A PD on just the additional add-ons/extensions for Google Meets would be helpful - Kristen Heath

An issue that might come up is how to ensure that students have a way of sharing their ideas; I'm thinking both in time management and in organization. I'm already struggling with how to organize my digital classroom for next year in a way that students feel comfortable and heard and are able to navigate the tools I want them to use without being overwhelming. I just wonder how using this tool would fit in with all of the other great tools that I like to use with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the idea of digital anchor charts that are student created. This year, my partner teacher and I had students use Google slides to show their learning and understanding of math concepts, but I think using a digital anchor chart might be better. I particularly like Explain Everything (I've never heard of it before today) because students not only show through text and pictures what they want to teach or demonstrate their understanding of, but they can talk with it and use it as a tool to teach others. This would be fun for math concepts in teaching their own personal strategy for solving word problems or in 4th grade, multiplication and division strategies.

# data[].attributes.headline
The challenge is always time.  PDs that offer the opportunity to "do" as you learn are always important.  It not only truly allows teachers to understand the concepts even more, but gives them time to make authentic/usable material

Plans for next fall based on today....I plan to add the choice boards for sure.  I went over this in some of the PD yesterday.  Although emphasized in the past, I think that bringing this up again reminds us as educators to truly consider doing this!  We have great ideas and intentions and don't always think about implementing.  I also have used Google Forms before as quizzes, but want to really implement that great option more!!!  Lastly, our academy is currently working on Deeper Learning Units to emphasize PBL.  I think it is great that we are doing this in order to really dive deeper into this.  I appreciated the framework again to emphasize this as well

As a science teacher, I never thought of using anchor charts with exception of essays/science reports.   My fifth graders can benefit with anchor charts with science labs and  design challenges.  Anchor charts give the students structure.   In the past, I have seen a high percentage of students failing to use evidence  in their writing and elaborating on the results.    I loved hot the teacher modeled how to add questions to the side of the anchor chart for extra guidance.  What a cool resource.  Thanks.

As far as PD goes, I would like to see all of these awesome ideas strictly at an elementary level, and even more specifically at the lower level of K-2. I often feel the amazing videos or ideas shared during PD (and even resources I find online myself), are for the higher grades. It's just something I would be interested in seeing!

# data[].attributes.body
Some challenges that I anticipate are students who might be reluctant to change. Some students are nervous about accepting more ownership. Modeling will definitely help overcome this issue. Maybe starting with something they know.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that they lead to more ownership for students. It gives them a way to resarch and present information.

I intend on using digital choice boards in the fall.  I created a small one for the content delivery session the other day.  There are so many possibilities in my position to utilize choice boards, which the kids will really enjoy taking ownership of their learning and maybe doing something "different" from their peers. -Tonya Sherman

# data[].attributes.body
One of the biggest challenges I see is the time that it takes to prepare the resources we learned about. Sometimes it also feels overwhelming with all of the resources we are shown. I would love to use many of these in my classroom, but there are already many new resources we have to learn about for the coming school year, I don't have a lot of my own time I can commit to explore the extra resources. Is there a way the extra resources could be organized so we could easily go back and find them when/if they are needed in our classrooms?

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the idea of having students make their own anchor charts (and that they can even do so digitally!) I also want to do a better job of making copies of the anchor charts we already use in the classroom for students to use in their notebooks (and reminding them too look back @ the charts if they need help,)

# data[].attributes.body
Virtual Classroom: adding backgrounds, links, best veted resources.
Choice Boards: Best practices to create varied DOK levels and how to blend a grid lesson into choice board.

Challenges: Time management of creating digital anchor charts and virtual classrooms. Also, access to tech outside the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to implement three things into my classroom next year. The first being choice boards. Choice boards will allow students to have even more ownership over their learning. The choice board will be easy to differentiate using various DOK levels and types of learning. The second thing is a virtual classroom. This would enhance the digital learning piece of my classroom. I would be able to link various digital platforms for easy access for my students. Finally, I would implement digital anchor charts. THis would make it easier for students' math and literacy notebooks. Also, I could link them to my virtual classroom and create a reference binder as a hard copy.

# data[].attributes.body
A potential issue I can see having is getting frustrated when I can't figure out the technology and spending a lot of time trying to figure it out.  I am not extremely savvy when it comes to technology so I feel that I might throw in the towel or only use 1 aspect of the platform because I don't have the time or the know how to go any deeper.

With all new learning programs and platforms for educators to use with students, because there is so much new technology on an almost daily basis, I would appreciate more in-depth PD to have explicit instruction and dedicated time to explore in a training session.

# data[].attributes.body
There are several tools I would like to try with students.  The important thing is to match the student work up with the correct type of platform.  For example, I think the Choice Boards would be a great tool to use with students they practice and master new skills.  They would not be able to click on the square until they have shown proficiency with a concept.  I think students would find that fun and motivating, and maybe even a little bit competitive!

I also love the Google Forms Self-Graded Quizzes! I think students would benefit from having immediate results to allow them to track their own progress and mastery. In this way, they can address deficits in skill or knowledge before they completely forget what they were doing.

# data[].attributes.body
One challenge I see is using too many different websites. My students' parents are going to have to navigate the websites for my students and if there are too many websites and logins, I can see my parents getting overwhelmed and feeling discouraged. I also see some parents not having enough time to figure out the websites, which will result in my students not completing the tasks. PD on how to better support students with disabilities digitally would be beneficial. Many of the websites that exist aren't made for students with disabilities, which limits what I can have them use.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to implement choice boards in the future. I will most likely have the same students next year since I teach in an autism classroom. My students are already familiar with choice boards in my classroom. The article was interesting because I never considered using a choice board digitally. My students would have more success because they used choice boards already and understand what they are supposed to do.

I forsee a little trouble when I am first learning to use digital anchor and other newer methods that I will not be as effective at first when I use them.

A challenge for using choice boards would be in planning.  Obviously if I want my students to successfully utilize free-choice in their learning, I'll have to have ALL of the "assignments" or "products" prepared from day 1.  This is a lot of work.

Separately - I would love some PD on creating physical AND (not or) digital portfolios. I feel that some students need physical to be hands-on and keep themselves organized, while others may be able to utilize digital platforms to collect and showcase their work.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm planning on using Choice Boards in my class this fall. I'm utilizing choice boards because my class is all information or content based--they don't need to do items in a sequence, rather they need to collect data and information. The products they will provide to show mastery will be portfolios, highlighting a few broad ideas I need them to learn, with specific details coming from as deep or shallow as students wish to dive into the information.

# data[].attributes.body
One possible challenge I see with using Google slides and a virtual classroom is that my students may feel that it is immature.  It's difficult to find something that students like in junior high. Another challenge that I foresee is time and keeping it updated.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the fall I would like to incorporate the use of Google slides and a virtual classroom especially if we start the year using a blended model of remote learning. I messed around with creating one earlier in the week and I enjoyed putting it together.  I like that it could add personality to a digital learning space.

With the chance being great that we will at some point do distance learning, I believe that giving teachers the opportunity to sit with individuals who are extremely proficient in online resources so that they may ask questions, practice using the resources and begin to design lessons that they intend to deliver to their students. Often teachers are given lots of great ideas and an endless supply of resources, however they leave a PD feeling overwhelmed and having no idea where to start. Allowing them real working time with teachers who are currently using a resource with great success would be powerful.

# data[].attributes.body
If we are in a hybrid model or full classes in our classrooms, I intend on using Digital Choice Boards. One thing I have learned through my years is that middle schoolers crave having a choice. If I can find a way to give my students more choices in how to show me mastery of a standard, then I will definitely make use of that resource.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to use Flipgrid in the upcoming year. I have used it some in the past, but with the new iLIT program, I did not use it much this year.  I thought I would just check it out quickly, but I found so many NEW features including the online rubric.  It will provide a platform for my students to complete speaking activities and for them to receive feedback.  Going "live" and being recorded is not quite an authentic experience, but it does provide a snapshot of their speaking abilities.  I think an important part of implementing Flipgrid this year will be to get students interacting with each other and posssibly interacting with other schools!

As I will be implementing New Tech and problem based learning next year, I am kind of worried since it will only be my second year teaching and I will be teaching a class that I am not familiar with the standards for. I guess I just would like to know the best way to start to plan for these problem-based lessons in a way that would be less overwhelming, I know there are a lot of resources out there for examples of problem-based learning, but there are so many resources it can be overwhelming. I am also concerned for how I will implement problem-based learning if we have to teach in a virtual setting.
-Krista Taulker

# data[].attributes.body
One type of student work I will be implementing in the fall is problem-based learning. This is not only because I am teaching using the New Tech model, but because I feel that problem-based learning does a lot better job of teaching students what I want them to know. Oftentimes, especially at the high school level, when students ask me when they will use that math in their lives the answer usually is they won’t unless they are going into specific career fields, HOWEVER, what I really need them to learn is the deep thinking skills, critical thinking skills, and problem solving skills and I feel like with problem based learning student’s get more of this. It also teaches them to be more independent learners and helps with differentiation of instruction so I can make sure I am meeting each student’s needs better.

I think the biggest challenges that I see is equity amongst my students, and what this will mean for the project. All students have a chromebook; however, some might have issues with or no internet, or they might need to take care of siblings. This will cause problems if we follow a normal PBL structure because PBL includes a lot of collaboration. If some group members aren't on the same footing as the others, how do I work around that? Ideas for differentiation, I suppose, is my PD need.

# data[].attributes.body
Choice boards are a great idea- I hope to implement these in a virtual classroom, allowing students to choose how to show what they know.

# data[].attributes.body
We will be implementing PBL in the fall. They will be analyzing YA books about identity and comparing the issues in those texts with the enlightenment principles. We will use this knowledge base to pursue a project that utilizes an authentic audience (it is still in the works!) Some ideas that I found on PBL Works that could be included in this project are providing opportunities to digital collaboration by using google docs, increasing discussion between peers with flip grid, and perhaps using a hashtag in the project to increase audience.

I am unsure what technology will be available to my students next year and what programs I can use to create said anchor charts. In addition, using Google Classroom in the event that we have need to do distance learning  again, I am unsure what students will have available and what sort of assistance they will have at home to use technology. That is why I want to get the ball rolling in the classroom as soon as possible, so they are prepared for that situation. I know this spring my families were much more comfortable with paper and pencil, but with training for student and families that can change.

The challenges that I foresee with online distant learning are challenges that I have already experienced with my students when we switched to distant learning. At first, it was hard trying to monitor student engagement because not every student had access to a computer/internet at home. Therefore, I could not effectively monitor the engagement of students who were given paper copies. The district did a wonderful job in this regard with Chromebooks distribution.

# data[].attributes.body
I focused on PBL Works articles, which in my view provide meaningful insights relative to distant learning due to the uncertainty on what instructional platform we will be compelled to utilize this Fall because of the current COVID 19 situation. Out of the three articles that I read, the one that grabs my attention the most was “Rethinking Distance learning, and How to make it work for all Students”. I plan to use the ideas the author shared on how to get students actively engaged by establishing an online classroom culture that promotes my students’ interest.

If we are teaching online, I think one issue we are going to encounter is teachers not being able to accurately determine whether students understand the materials or not when taking quizzes/tests. With the help of google, siblings, parents, etc. how will we gauge what material we still need to work on with our students. I would like us to be on the same platform across the whole school district regarding how we interact with parents. If we are going to be online, I would like to know that the district is using one platform for communication, instead of each school doing something differently and parents getting confused about how to contact different teachers for their children.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a challenge of digital choice boards will be modeling to students how to pace themselves through the work. I think a helpful PD would be time for teachers learning from one another and working together to create templates of a digital choice board so we can all use it and change or differentiate it based on our students' needs.

Since I teach ELL's, I like to make sure they understand how to implement what they learn in the ELL classroom within their content classrooms. I like using the digital anchor charts for this. The article talked about creating a notebook of the anchor charts used in lessons for them to reference in content classes. I also would like to use the Google Self Graded quizzes. I have done this in the past on paper, and if we teach online it will help students understand what mistakes they are making and how to take the initiative to grade their own work and how to correct it.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges will be (1) taking the time needed to allow students to learn this approach. This is addressed in at least 2 of the linked articles, and that was very helpful to read about and (2) making meaningful differentiation for different levels of ability in the classroom and dealing with "why is his choice board different from mine?" - - but again, that goes back to establishing the learning goals and environment to recognize that we are all growing our skills.
PD would be high school focused, provide strategies for planning, for differentiating, for introducing the approach, for setting up the classroom and resources to allow this to work.

One of the biggest challenges is for all the students to actively engage.  It has been my experience this last year that kids are engaging at all different times unlike the classroom where it is more controlled which causes us to lose the student to student interaction and feedback.

In the fall, I plan to use google forms and google meets.  I love the way that a student can practice a skill as many times as they want to get it correct and have the best grade they can.  They don't even know that they are practicing they just want a better grade but are becoming much better at the skill and getting immediate feedback.  I also love the face to face of google meets in this current environment we are in.
Thanks

I have used flipgrid in the past but have had a difficult time developing best practices and common protocols for my students. Examples of these would be great.

I love these and am thinking I will use them for Exit Tickets, Pre-Assessments, Warm-Ups, Check-Ins, etc...

A second activity I like is using Padlet. This is a great tool to add resources or ideas that other students can look at to spur a class discussion or get ideas for a research topic. I can require all students to post two ideas about a research topic and then the class has a series of options to research.

This is the first time I have even seen the program Padlet. It looks like it would be a great resource to use when doing research projects. Teachers could post links and different material that they want to share and this be the hub for students to access.

In the fall, I plan to use a choice board with a timeframe of a week to complete. Since I teach first grade, it's very important that I strategically implement it and teach them how to use it since they do not know how to be independent learners yet.

The first idea I liked was to use a Tic-Tac-Toe choice board for a project on American history. This requires students to do at least three activities to make sure they understand the material but still gives them multiple choices to maintain interest and engagement. This would be a good activity as a unit assignment because it covers so much material.

This year I want to use Flipgrid in a more meaningful way.  I have started a collaboration with schools across the globe but I did not have the time to get my students deeply involved in the coversations.

I am worried that I will have difficulty implementing Padlet by myself and using it correctly. I have a great team ,which if we are back in school it is much easier for me to learn these new ideas with some guidance. I would like to get more comfortable with Google Meet and sharing screen and helping students who are having problems with their work.

I would like to use this as a digital checklist for student assignments. I used Google Classroom in our time from the classroom at the end of the year and although it allowed student choices and priorities of assignments, there was no way to allow students to monitor their progression and completed work. This would be able to be updated and monitored then viewed remotely anywhere and anytime.

PBL in a virtual or blended setting will be challenging.  I want to learn to use breakout rooms or something equivalent in Google meet.  I also want to learn to use Google forms/slides for students to record work on their collaborative efforts.
