A Padlet or Nearpod of useful sentences for the students to write in their home language in some kind of competition? This would encourage them to learn these in English so they can ask these questions in their schools.  Example: I lost my ID. How do I get another? Where is the library? May I check out this book? May I check out this book again? My head hurts. My stomach hurts. Will you call my mother so I can go home? What is the number of my bus? Would you print my schedule? I lost my copy. Would you print a school calendar for me? The morning messages are too fast for me to understand the deadlines and holiday dates. (Someone) is bullying me. Will you make (him or her) stop?

The students have a lot of control - far beyond that of the Mad Annotator. They can respond or not. They can turn their mics and cameras on or not. They participate or not. They've always had power, but this is a new level of power and a dynamic it takes a while to balance.

Create opportunities for them to collaborate. Like with the annotation feature, activities or with the chat. The student's loved that.

The more interaction the better. Try not to just be giving them a bunch of information or videos. Have the students doing things.

that students would be very hesitant to participate, especially via video. Had to switch our plans halfway through because we couldn't get students to participate via video.

So many forms for students to fill out...perhaps only nearpods for student products and google for DISD forms...

It is crazy difficult to get students to interact online via video and sometimes even via chat. Some students naturally want to participate but a good number are just happy to sit silently watching while their video is turned off.

Masters - Review the Hangouts before using them. Add or delete material based on your specific students. Ensure the participants are familiar with using the technology. Our coordinator did a wonderful job of reviewing this every day and including it in the Hub materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Stick to your break times - the kids will volunteer to do this as they like to count on certain times for breaks :) Be flexible with the flow of the group. ESL kids need more time to learn new vocabulary and work through assignments. Allow the time necessary to help them be successful. It's more important for them to learn and succeed with less than try to cover too much material, and they don't learn as much.

Plan for after school tutoring using the same format? That would be fun!

Access to Zoom Premium, if they have it, so we have full access to all of the functions. I think turning on all videos from the host computer may be part of the premium service?

Masters - Work with your colleagues as a team. Talk about who is going to manage what beforehand.
The kids need more time than we might want to give them to work on assignments. Have some additional talking points/pictures/other info to fill the time while they finish.

Sara Cruz suggested Home Ec type hangouts when I asked if there were suggestions for next year. I asked what she meant and she described life skills needed in this culture. Things like budgeting for a new couple and for a big family; healthy menu planning using grocery ads; clothing repair and adaptations. Of course I think a Lenny Kravitz - make Goodwill clothes the coolest in school - hangout would be fun. How to stock a pantry, how to make a collection of family recipes ... and so on.
