My kids are doing great! They have moved to distance learning without a hitch because they were used to finding everything they needed on Bb. The digital resources we have used for formative assessment have allowed for grading to continue without need for exchange of papers. I did change from a Grid format to a simpler "Assignment To Do LIst" but use the Grid notation 1A, 2B, etc. because they are going to Bb for all materials.

I miss the daily interaction with my kids. I hear from many of them through email and Zoom while others just keep showing up in my digital formative assessment reports and Bb gradebook without "hearing' from them.

I paid to upgrade my kahoot account ($72) for the year so I have access to the scores from the Kahoot Challenges I have assigned my kids.

Nearpod added a feature that allows you to record your voice to go with the slides. Time to Climb has been added to student paced mode which makes a multiple choice quiz a little more fun. They have also added the option to Short Answer for students to record audio responses. I'm using this as a way for students to submit answers from some of their assignments. They can type or read their responses. Great for differentiation for IEP and ELL students.

I quickly developed new grids for this remote learning environment, ensuring students could access everything digitally. Students who have figured out how to use the grid to their advantage have done some really creative and impressive things to complete and communicate with me. It has been a challenge to check off every box, but between Remind and Zoom we are figuring it all out together.

On the flip side -- Kids who never took to it still not taking to it.

We are seeing a real separation between students who would be capable of succeeding in a college environment by their ability to creatively adapt and use technology.

I have spent almost as much time helping kids who took right off and are keeping in contact with me as I do trying to find and communicate with kids who "went dark". Some have finally got in contact but it seems like they are super frustrated. Want to do well but are overwhelmed. I offer my full support, but still not getting much from them.

I also assigned some kahoot challenges and not sure I can see anything beyond the top 5 participants without the pro version.

I am taking as much advantage as I can to try out platforms that have gone to subscription service (Video analysis, problem sets, Flocabulary). I love to try new tech but it is very time consuming to evaluate and then figure out how to implement new resources. I am taking as much advantage of it now (and saving what I can to use again in the future). I like Flocabulary a lot, which is now owned by NearPod, but separate service. On free trial that I think they will extend due to COVID if anyone wants me (Stallo) to send an invite to join.

Zoom/microsoft teams meetings twice a week has been helpful for my students and as served as a platform for students to interact and allows a space for me to clarify assignments and/or concepts.

I have not been able to connect and contact about 30% of my students.
