Question: How did you create this notebook?

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of this lesson was to help us realize there are so many overlaps between online and classroom teaching. They are both beautiful opportunities to learn.
I learned how to use at least three new resources! I enjoyed thinking about the difference between conceptualizing and learning.
This information makes me excited to start the new school year because I believe learning can still happen and still be fun!

How did you make that cool booklet?! And how do I take Ms. vB's IB Bio class...

1. Teaching remotely will not be forever. What do I want my classroom to look, sound, and feel like when we are able to be together in person? What can I do to make my remote classroom look, sound, and feel similarly?
2. How can I get Ms. vB. to mentor me?

# data[].attributes.body
This lesson showed me that whether I'm teaching in person or remotely, my main goals and values of teaching (making connections, cultivating curiosity and excitement, showing and spreading love and warmth, etc.) can all still be taught and integrated into my classroom everyday! :)

I also loved using Jamboard and asynchronous learning! Excited to use these tools this year.

I learned that while there are many differences between remote and in person learning, there are many areas that overlap.  I will focus on those common areas and how to make them even better as well as how to take my ideal situation (in person instruction) and bring more of that into the remote learning environment.

What I learned

I am going to need to recognize student subtleties on the screen which will be more challenging to discern than in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a really useful example of an engaging asynchronous lesson.
1. Built in Google docs could be linked in OneNote or Canvas
2. Visually stimulating
3. Lots of animations
4. Use of colors
5. Different interactions:: think, visualize as well as padlet, word garden, etc...
6. Help is just a click away - this is huge
7. Videos of the teacher are brief and move the lesson forward.
8. Wraps up with student reflection and sharing giving students a choice as to how they will share.
9. Gets students interacting by commenting in Padlet or Flipgrid

To demonstrate tools and ideas for asynchronous instruction while allowing us to consider the differences between in-person and virtual feedback in teaching and learning

# data[].attributes.body
When I thought about it, my plans for remote learning mirror what I want to do in person- create an safe learning environment that is engaging, connected, exciting, and warm. The main difference is the HOW. I am hoping that we get lots of access to templates that we can easily adapt to our classrooms!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I can still foster a classroom culture of being comfortable, safe, and free to be yourself even over a Zoom call!

# data[].attributes.body
I really appreciated this exercise, both for making me reflect on my ideas of in-person vs. remote instruction and for introducing me to great resources that I can use in my remote teaching. I have been mourning the thought of not being in the classroom with my students, and missing out on the small moments and intangibles that all add up to creating a warm classroom community and meaningful relationships. However, I am seeing how effective, interactive, and meaningful remote teaching can be done, and I am so excited to try out some of these different tools! While this will be a very different start to the year, and there is a lot to manage and figure out, I am feeling more hopeful about the potential... my venn diagram still shows connections and learning in the center!

# data[].attributes.body
This helped me make the connections between in person and remote learning look like and how I can combine the too.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose was to think about how to conceptualize learning in our virtual format.
I learned that both in person and virtual formats can be innovative, colorful, communal, productive, successful and happy. The info will be used as inspiration as I start to think about interacting with my new classes virtually. I wonder how to make online discussions less disjointed? I am also concerned about any possible microaggressions occurring in breakout rooms in my classes.

# data[].attributes.body
In both in person and remote teaching, connections with students remain paramount.

No matter how scary it seems, people are here to help guide us through what we don't know/understand.

# data[].attributes.body
Help us wrap our heads around what our virtual classrooms will sound, look, and feel.

Questions, how do we make virtual learning accessible to very young learners. How do we teach them to navigate through all of this while building our classroom communities??

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of this lesson was to help us realize that while our method of instructional delivery is completely different, our job is still the same. We are here to nurture minds and help them develop skills they can use throughout their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating the venn diagram helped me realize that although remote learning is more unknown and uncomfortable, both remote and in-person teaching still have similarities.  Both will be stressful and frustrating at times, but both have the same overarching goal of learning and creating a community.

# data[].attributes.body
This has been my first experience with remote instruction and learning. Wow. I have a lot to learn about how to leverage this technology and to ensure that my lessons are about the instructional content, not just the glitz of the platform. (Though it IS glitzy, intriguing, captivating, exciting, new, different . . . you get the idea.)

# data[].attributes.body
How will I differentiate for different needs in lessons?

There are a lot of tech possibilities/options, but it seems like a lot to manage. Especially with younger students.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that I was using positive language to describe in-person learning and negative words to describe virtual. Knowing this helps me reframe my thinking and get me to a place of excitement!

# data[].attributes.body
How will I build community when starting the year remotely?

How do I earn student buy-in so they show up to online class?

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of this lesson was to understand that we are not in this alone and to understand the differences and similarities in remote and in person learning. I really like the module that was used to provide us with this lesson. I could see myself using it as a school counselor this year for my lessons. It's interactive. I think that was part of the reason for this lesson as well was to give us idea on how to teach this year.

Taking a deep look at in person vs remote learning and trying to see how to transfer as many positives from in person to our remote learning experience.
Learn- I learned that the remote learning experience can be more dynamic, colorful and multilayered than I thought.
I will try to use this information and the technology modeled to make my lessons as engaging and interactive as possible.  Excellent modeling--thank you!!

# data[].attributes.body
Help us think about all aspects of how learning is going to change. We are still all navigating new waters!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I can take my skills from my classroom and re purpose them to remote learning. I have to let go of some of my old thinking and embrace this change. It is an opportunity to grow and learn new things. It is a true lesson in resiliency and flexible thinking and not just and social and emotional lesson about resiliency and flexible thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
To think deeply about the differences in in person/remote learning and how those modes of teaching change the experience of our students.

Purpose - To make us think about what our classroom will look like in the fall and provide us with a model for an asynchronous lesson.
Learn - Asynchronous lessons can still allow students to interact with other student's ideas and thoughts.
Info - I will think back to this lesson when deciding the best way to deliver a lesson. I will conceptualize the lesson first and then plan it based on that.
Questions - None

I didn't realize how emotional I felt about starting in distance learning. I really loved the time and space to think about it and to reconnect with my purpose in teaching. I also loved experiencing such a terrific model of asynchronous learning.

It's easy to think of remote learning as being a significantly inferior way to teach, but when we began to compare what in-person and remote look like, sound like, and feel like, they were remarkably similar. This is because both methods are still aiming for the same goal, to teach humans. I want to keep this in mind as moving toward remote learning may feel daunting, but it also it an exciting adventure to embark on. During the last two days, we have already seen great examples of how this type of learning can be engaging and successful.

# data[].attributes.body
Although remote learning will look different, the aim is the same. We just need to be intentional about finding ways to build authentic connections through a new medium.

# data[].attributes.body
This session made me realize the negative view I have of distance learning. A lot of the things I was writing down for scenario 2 were negative in nature. I took a step back and thought back to my why and realized how I can take those negatives (that I am sure so many of us are feeling) and turn them into a positive. This session forced me to start thinking how I can achieve
my goals and what I want in my classroom in a digital setting!

# data[].attributes.body
This session taught me great teaching strategies for asynchronous learning. It also helped me reflect on how I am feeling right now about the uncertainty of online learning. I learned what a visually pleasing presentation looked like, how to make a lesson interactive and hold student accountable for participating. This lesson also provided me with some ideas to include in my lessons. I am wondering what my support role as a specialist will look like in different classrooms. My other question is if all students will have access to these activities and apps.

# data[].attributes.body
In this session I learned to think about remote learning and how we can work to make it as fun, engaging and supportive as in person learning using a variety of tools and resources. I was happy to learn new about these tools and find that they are not very challenging to use!

# data[].attributes.body
This session showed us what asynchronous learning can look, sound and feel like. Through the process of reflecting on what we believe teaching , both in person and remote, should look, sound and feel, we were made more aware of our own learning.

This module helped me really realize that we are still teaching/doing all of the same things we would do in person. We are just using zoom and videos to do it. We do not have reinvent the wheel. Yes, it’s scary (and beyond overwhelming) to learn new technology but we are still the same teachers. Start with what you know about your teaching practices and think of how to continue doing those same things with the technology available.

# data[].attributes.body
Although remote learning is different than conventional teaching, it's still do-able. Especially as a new teacher, I am still finding my way and the demands of a new job and new learning and new teaching and new students...and new and new and new... can be a little bit scary, but not impossible.

# data[].attributes.body
Very helpful and interactive. I believe the main purpose of this lesson was to showcase the many virtual tools that are viable to make lessons fun and engaging (even when it is not F2F). This lesson reminded me to really think about how my students would want to receive the information and what would be "catch their attention". This was so enjoyable! thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
There are ways to translate the joys of teaching in person to virtual. To keep reminding myself of this and take risks to make it happen-- even if other people around me are not doing the same. We can get creative in how we engage our learners and how they can show their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
This session helped me see the similarities that can exist between in-person vs distant learning and helped recontextualize how meaningful and powerful distance learning can be for your students especially when keeping your "why" statement as the foundation of your teaching. I also love being exposed to all these different online tools like Jamboard, Padlet, and Flipgrid. Always so nice to have so many tools in the toolbox.

# data[].attributes.headline
I felt the purpose was to not only give us time to reflect on how this year will no doubt be different, but also show us great tools and resources that we will be able to use in our own practices. I learned that while this year is going to be a challenge, there are tons of great resources out there to help me grow as an educator and do things in a way I may never have experienced otherwise. I will be able to take some of the tools here and apply them in my own classroom, which is so great! Thank you!

In this activity I learned that remote learning still encompasses many aspects of in person learning, even though it may look different than before. For example, we can still listen to music in the classroom but instead of it being played on the class speaker system, it goes through each person's computer. Students can even turn the music off if they want to! I also realized and was reminded that remote learning still showcases some of my personal strengths like optimism and warmth, which I feel have taken on a greater (or more visible) role in the learning process. I have so many questions about how to DO asynchronous learning. I feel like this lesson took so much preparation...I don't know how I will be able to do that while maintaining my sanity!

# data[].attributes.body
It was nice to see different platforms being used and interact with them first hand. I also think it was a good way to compare live and remote instruction and how we can beef it up.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a lot to consider but there are ways to recreate the feeling of in-person teaching in a remote way. It requires thoughtfulness and intentionality.

I learned that as an educator I don’t have to have all the answers but I so need to be the role model and students will reflect the attitude that I show them I have about remote learning.  I learned there are a wide variety of tools that we can utilize to still have effective learning happen. This is a great opportunity to learn something new and skills that we can carry with us as educators throughout our career.

This helped me see that there really are a lot more similarities between classroom and online teaching than I initially thought. I need to think more creatively about how I can bring back the elements that are lost through an online platform and not get stuck on feeling frustrated that we can’t be in our classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I was able to see a new way to teach that engages students. This was very engaging and easy to follow! I was also able to learn more about my feelings towards in person and remote learning. This helped me to realize that there are many avenues and things to try to make remote learning more fun and interactive for my students!

I feel that the purpose of this lesson was to remind us that now more than ever, we need to visualizing how we want our classes and lessons to go. I think in teaching it's something we should always be doing, but especially now that we're in a completely new model it's even more important. My biggest take away also was that asynchronous learning can still be very interactive and can keep students engaged; we just need to utilize the tools to do that.

# data[].attributes.body
I realize that their are more similarities between in person learning and remote learning than I previously thought. There is still lots of opportunity to connect with students and for students to connect with one other. We are still able to create a positive learning environment for students even in an isolated setting. Focus on using technology that helps to foster community building and connection.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the challenges that we are all facing as educators, we can utilize our strengths, and learn from our friends/colleagues, to support students in new and creative ways. Despite the challenges presented by remote learning, there are opportunities for connection, collaboration, and risk taking that can help us grow as professionals.

# data[].attributes.body
As I was reflecting on what I wanted for each scenario (online vs. in person) I spent time on the similarities between the two. My why is focused around my positive learning community that I am striving to create. Things may look different, but I am trying to see this as a learning opportunity rather than a hinderance to my purpose. We can do this!

# data[].attributes.body
I felt that the purpose of this session was to have us reflect on our experiences with digital learning to understand what the kids are going through as well as learn how we as educators can help create effective digital learning. I learned that there will probably always be technical difficulties. I also learned that there is a lot that goes into preparing and planning. Remote learning has the same purpose as in person learning but there are some differences that are important to consider such as the social piece or the structure that school may bring. This is important to use to consider adaptions and availability for my students and how I can best meet their needs.

I learned that now more than ever, is the time and the opportunity to rely on creativity, virtual tools and thinking outside the box to enhance interactivity and thus connect with the students. I feel like seeing mentimeter/answersgarden is such a great way for students to connect with one another too. I feel like there is a lot of work that goes into it but the results are amazing and students can be engaged, learn and thrive despite the remote environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that many of the hallmarks of my in-person classroom teaching practice can be transferred to remote learning. Communicating clearly with students and providing consistent, clear feedback can happen in many ways, not just in a classroom. Creating differentiated learning activities that have a basis in real world applications is just as possible remotely as it is in-person. While engaging students may look different, it is going to be just as vital, and I can use the techniques I've learned over my years as a teacher to help support their engagement in class, whether that class is virtual or in a brick and mortar building.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned to always post additional links to your embedded videos. In this way, the student already have a troubleshooting option open to them. It helps keep the lesson running smoothly. I also learned that visuals (pictures in this case) help identify exactly what you want the students to work on. I will use this lesson in my role to set up my own lessons. This lesson was smooth, engaging and had troubleshooting options built right in.

The purpose of this activity was to look at our why and apply that to how our classroom would look like in person. Then, we can take components of the in person classroom and apply it to online learning with our sweet kiddos! There can still be similar themes, like connection and love, it will just look a little different! I learned that my why effects both in person as well as online learning!! Apply it to both! This information will be used directly by me in my ISD role through online learning. I will be creating an online environment that takes into account my classroom values, even if it may look different than in person. Questions I have would be for different strategies to implement these goals and values.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose of the lesson is thinking about how we will have to slightly shift our thoughts and previous beliefs about what learning looks like as we enter into an online setting. However, I think it also highlights that teachers will still have the goals and high expectations for students.

# data[].attributes.body
This reminds me of the whole purpose of teaching (remotely or in-person) have common threads. The connection of what does your classroom (remote or not) "looks like, sounds like, feels like" is important. Students feeling safe have the best chance to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I need to create the joy in my remote learning that I miss in my classroom. I can bring my personality to the screen to help students feel less isolated, too. There will be LOTS of creative problem solving!
