Have you considered using jamboards to scaffold annotation? You can upload documents and have students write directly on them. Consider a handout or a reading.

Click above to see how I use a color coded jamboard to demystify close reading.

Flipgrid  is a video response platform where teachers can provide feedback to students, and, better yet, students can provide feedback to one another. Consider using this tool as a way to help study groups connect and build community. In my classroom, I use Flipgrid as a way to let students peer review each other's drafts verbally.

Instead of quizzing students on reading comprehension which can sap motivation, invite high stakes into learning, and trigger previous academic traumas, I challenge students to make :30 second videos describing the reading and commenting on each other. This allows for a multimodality approach to showcasing mastery.

Experts agree that prerecordings that students can watch at their own time, as long as they are made with accessibility in mind, are an important facet of teaching equitably.

Panopto is particularly apt for student equity because it offers video captioning, variable speed playback, opportunities to interact with recorded videos, and screen reader and keyboard accessibility.

These features allow all students to access the materials they need for their education.

Incorporate diverse curriculum and reflection throughout all digital learning activities to make greater connections (e.g., #OwnVoice texts, virtual field trips, content to dismantle stereotypes, inviting and assigning diverse voices).

Vary assessments as one-on-one as well as group work. I often offer "voice" and "choice" variations. Choice as in this prompt or that or voice as in this medium or that. For instance, do they want to show me an outline as a part of the research paper process or a full rough draft? Do they want to show this to me 1:1 on zoom or as part of a research group? Do they want to show me the skill in writing or talk it out via zoom, in-person, or flipgrid?

"Horizontal Connectivity" is a fancy word for peer:peer engagement. Using Perusall, a social learning platform that guides students to create collaborative annotations can help students feel prepared for class and increase engagement and motivation via socialization.

Varied assessment measures for students’ learning can enhance equity and create equal opportunity for students to show skills. To inform this practice with culturally responsive teaching, keep the evaluation low-stakes and designed primarily for feedback. See the link above for how mentimeter can be used as a creative assessment tool. Canvas survey tools are also helpful.  More feedback + more opportunities to shine and practice leads to student empowerment.
