I learned effective ways of streamlining my lesson materials.  I like to embed videos, mini-lessons, activities, etc. into a Nearpod slideshow so that students can easily navigate each lesson component without having to click through different items in a Schoology folder.   This makes the materials more accessible to students who may not be willing to click through a bunch of folders on Schoology.

Working with students on zoom and being required to interact only virtually through part of the year has given me a lot of practice working on shared google documents and schoology. This practice I believe will help in the future if we continue to have virtual instruction options. This practice will also help in person.

I'm happy to have access and experience with tools like Flipgrid and Discussion Boards to keep students accountable for asynchronous work. I worry that the reduced class time will take away some of the organic interactions that come from any activity in class. But, at least the asynchronous doesn't have to leave students completely unable to share their thinking as they develop or debrief learning.

It has taught me how to diversify the way that I interact and make connections with my students.

In order to make my daily lessons easily accessible for any students (even the absentees), I have learned to present my  weekly lesson plans  on a single Google Slide displayed all class long  (A week at a glance) I use the same type of nomenclature daily. The slide includes the weekly lesson plans, with the links to classwork, videos, corrections of HW, etc.   The material is  easily accessible and provide smooth class transitions. Less frustration on the end of students and teachers  (no more "Madame, where is the link?" ) . As a teacher, my lesson plan can be modified as needed and reused for the following years without the need to recreate everything from scratch.

I learned that, regardless of a Pandemic, education changes and teaching strategies have to be fluid and always allow for interaction.

While on sabbatical, I am studying inquiry based learning through Reggio Emilia inspired learning at ETSU.  I am seeing how this type of learning is applied at High Tech High School in San Diego California from Elementary, to Middle School to High School Level.  Currently I have implemented Genius Hour in my classrooms, but plan to use provocations  and move along the four stages of inquiry. based learning.  Trying to build the awe and wonder back in high schoolers that is so authentic in children, as seen in PSL courses, and design thinking in Design courses.  Platforms like SeeSaw and SMORE allow students to showcase their inquiry research and projects.

One takeaway was the necessity of providing "table of contents" on the unit and module folder levels, preferably with visuals. I thought the three digit unit-mod-lesson number and a title would be enough for students to follow, but apparently this is not enough. I will continue to modify my Schoology courses to reflect this new learning. An example of rectifying this takeaway can be found in the Presenting Content section of the 9-12 EDI slideshow.

I will probably continue to use Schoology assessments with a variety of question types, but probably in a shorter, more skills-check type fashion than as overall unit assessments.

Students often need to see some of the skills covered in my courses more than once. This year I presented content using Loom to create help videos that I can attach to each of the Onshape shared docs. This allowed the students to view the demonstrate during class, but they could return later and watch a video outlining the steps they would need to take to complete the model/problem assigned. This is a recording of the embedded video inside a shared CAD document.
