Being able to use backchannels (also mentioned in past PD sessions) will be an immense help during virtual and in person instruction.  Students can help each other without relying on one person in the room.  In my computer science class, students used a backchannel to ask questions related to coding, debugging, etc. and it worked really well.  I am looking forward to seeing this play out in the coming days.

Also, I like the idea of pairing students (one  virtual to one in person student).  If I am unable to hear or answer a question from a virtual student, the in-person student can relay it to me.    Being personal liaisons to virtual students should not be an expectation of in-person learners, but having "cohorts within cohorts" is another layer of support that would be nice to have!

Differentiate synchronous learning time for students.   The need to focus on ELs and meeting their instructional needs at their levels will require additional planning.

I really like the cohort idea to build community and allow for students to help each other.
Starting with a group ice breaker has been working wonderfully for me.
Students like having videos bc they can re watch if they don't understand the first time around.
I agree, there is a lot that students are trying to manage...it would be good to spread out a lesson over days and not one each day.

Less synchronous is a good idea for sure. Only wondering is what about the students who are not engaged at all and not complete assignments.

yes! Loved this part. 8th graders are stressed and struggling, and this was a good reminder that it's okay to limit it.

Yes to less synchronous time, but I worry some students will not watch recorded lesson or not join breakout groups and leave Meet.

It is interesting to attempt to have every student logged into the virtual room all day so they can be in touch with their counterparts at home. I hope we have the band with for that.

Limit and make synchronous time special for all students (in-person and virtual). Make it meaningful and purposeful for all students.

The takeaways that I had from the article were to film direct instruction ahead of time instead of showing it over Zoom. This will be a challenge for my ELD 3 class where I teach long term English Learners because we use a scripted program. However, for the history classes I co-teach, this is a great idea that I would like to try, in order to limit synchronous time.

I appreciated that the article still emphasized building community over conformity. I also liked the idea of using choice boards, pre-made, so students will be able to do something if the meet quits.

My biggest take aways are that we need to have a variety of methods to keep students engaged and help them work collaboratively.
