Not everyone is going to love the shift to technology, and that's OK! Don't take that one person's negative attitude color your perception of how the majority of our participants feel about XP.

Always check that your "Do Not Publish" activities are not accidentally published!

Try to respond during the asynch time to the discussion boards, it really helped me build community and I learned a lot too!

You need to have your partner's text open so you are able to make adjustments on the fly.

Bring the ENERGY Bring the FUNK! Have lots of fun with your people just like you would IRL!

For those who arrive early in the morning, create a breakout room for them to 'chat' with others while they wait.

# data[].attributes.body
with yourself, co-presenter and participants

# data[].attributes.body
Spend a couple minutes on the basics of BBB, Canvas, etc. before using each tool to save yourself a ton of private chat trouble-shooting.  :)

# data[].attributes.body
Use the chat to be proactive, use it to link to where you are on your canvas pages, identify what WICOR the activities are covering, etc...

# data[].attributes.body
and are FUN!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
How do we make real connections with the participants through a digital environment? Also, will the technology be a challenge?

# data[].attributes.body
Be explicit where you can that what we are experiencing is all part of WICOR and the AVID strategies. Folks who have never attended an AVID training before need opportunities for explicit connections to what AVID is (which is what we are doing with them!). After the first DXP, we had a couple folks in our CoP that said "this was great, but I don't know what AVID is". The second DXP we were more intentional and we didn't get that question from our newbies.

Check your attendance list against the people list in your eLearning. Its really helpful to find discrepancies

# data[].attributes.body
Have grace and understanding. Be patient. Some participants are tech wizzes, and others don't know where the power button is. We will support them ALL!

# data[].attributes.body
Split strings can be a struggle, so post links to pages along the way and it helps participants to stay with you.

# data[].attributes.body
Self care,  keep a notebook of reminders and participants needs and questions so they don't get lost or forgotten...take time to reflect!

conversations to 'frame' what an eBinder is for participants

# data[].attributes.body
Is like the SI room and Breakout rooms are the table groups!

# data[].attributes.body
Open up all the break out rooms so you and your co-facilitators can use them for one-on-ones.

# data[].attributes.body
Explicitly give participants permission to feel overwhelmed and ensure them they will become more competent with technology and resources by Day 3!

# data[].attributes.body
Be clear in expectations of Day 1 and how eBinders works

When tech fails - keep them focused on the learning and not the tech.

# data[].attributes.body
keep participant selected breakouts available all during asynch so participants can jump in together or in small groups with you anytime they want

# data[].attributes.body
Building relationships is difficult, but take advantage of inviting participants to chat during Asynchronous Learning time.  It's a great way to go a little deeper.

# data[].attributes.body
Be very explicit with where you are and what you are asking participants to do, and more importantly, BREATHE! YOU GOT THIS =)

# data[].attributes.body
Take a few minutes to show participants how you're moving around in the technology.

Folks really appreciated breakouts on the eBinder for those getting to know it.  Create rooms & a scavenger hunt type task & pop in to see what they've discovered!

# data[].attributes.body
Adjust not to change content but to promote student learning. Every class is different, every student has a different comfort with tech, they need to leave having learned a lot. Be flexible and have fun with them!

Day 1 - be sure to make the goal of day 1 setting the participants up for success in day 2 and 3.  Not to show off every bell and whistle of BBB, Canvas, or other tools...

# data[].attributes.body
Participants appreciate the modeling of platform and app use almost as much as the AVID content. When using new tech links, talking through how you'd use them in the classroom with students is helpful, acknowledge the overwhelm and loop them into the fun moment as much as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Build relationships through the use of private chat, jumping into breakout rooms, and being available during breaks, lunch, and asynchronous time!

What is some advice for reading the room that you adjusted to during DXP?

Make sure participants know that they can and should revisit the eLearning course for review, reflections, and taking a deeper dive.

Take a breath and smile on camera.  Know that people are out there and need what you are offering to them this summer.  They need encouragement and excitement for this new and possibly challenging upcoming year.
Have lots of water nearby and have a pre-made lunch. You don't really have an hour when you are also connecting with your partner.

It IS possible to build community in 3 days online - just like in a strand room. Watching their Flipgrids helps you get to know them! Use their names, use the chat to communicate information AND suppport.

The more you can use break out rooms to create community, the better!

# data[].attributes.body
Be mindful of the fact that participants are using different types of devices and may be trying to navigate multiple windows/tabs on a something small, like a chromebook or surface.

Also, over-use explaining where you are--"back on the eLearning platform"...."in the Chapter 6 module...."

# data[].attributes.body
.... is way cool!! The random name generator is great for door prizes!!

# data[].attributes.body
Take time to frame each learning experience. Ground the participants in where they are and where you're going...let them know eBinders don't have to be perfect and they won't be graded!

# data[].attributes.body
New to Tech need us to really front load navigating tech on Day 1; Tech Comfortable folks think Day 1 isn't enough content because of all the frontloading!  Check in with your people & get to know the room.

How do I pop a picture or Bitmoji image into Canvas on the staff developer introduction page?

You CAN build rapport with virtual participants just as well as face to face! Make those private chats count, and connect with everyone as they enter the room. They are all trying to see us make a community, and we CAN do it!

# data[].attributes.body
It is incredibly important to frame the experience for participants. Let them know what's happening, where they are going and the WHY behind what you're doing. The "big picture" is especially important in DXP because there are a lot of little technical things to get hung up on (but shouldn't). Framing effectively helps a lot. Take a step back and share the 35,000 foot view often. You'll be glad you did.

# data[].attributes.body
On the first day, front load the technology! The technology knowledge is far and wide. The more you set them up for success, the better day 2 and 3 will be!

# data[].attributes.body
There are going to be stressful moments where the worlds of tech and facilitation collide. It is ok. Share this with your participants. Let them know we are all learning and growing and that is what this is all about!

# data[].attributes.body
How do we keep to the pacing considering participants have a steep learning curve in both content and technology?

# data[].attributes.body
How can I build relationships as well (or as effectively) as face-to-face ASI?

# data[].attributes.body
You need to plan an extra minute or two for breakout rooms. It takes about that time for all participants to get there. It helps to show them how to close out of the breakout room and how to go back in.

# data[].attributes.body
Anticipate that things will not go the way you have planned and the participants are not as prepared as you hoped. Many will ask 'really???' questions which will require generous grace given by the facilitators. We made some adjustments to pacing and identified where there is a room for cutting content, if you get kicked out of the meeting and lose 30 minutes on Day 3 :)
Most of all, have a great time!! We are pioneering a new path in education and setting the stage for new era of teaching and learning.

# data[].attributes.body
No matter what happens - its all going to be okay. Ask for grace and patience

Public chat is your best way to keep up those little connections with participants.
