I have heard and found to be true that students skip the instruction videos and go straight to the activity and/or assessment which is reflected in the grades I'm seeing. We need a platform that forces them to follow the process in a prioritized order. While I'm wishing, I want my room set up like a recording studio.

Y'all this is all so difficult. The one piece that I keep returning to in my mind is connection but it's more related to being able to talk to and with each other and I feel like that is the one piece that we and the students are missing the most. Some of my best students, last year, are not interacting at all this year. I wish there was an option to require at least one live class discussion per week per class but I understand why we cannot.

If I could design a platform for student use, it would have everything in ONE place. And, the platform would stay consistent for the whole year. It would be equally and reliably functional from home and school.

Students could engage asynchronously - perhaps using things such as class specific discussion boards that are only visible once you have made an initial post. We currently have some great tools at our disposal - the challenge, as I see it, is to utilize  them in a way that is seamless for the students and the teachers - does not require separate passwords, or inconsistent dependence on google vs Microsoft single sign-in, separate grading systems nor multiple platform integration.

Consistency and Simplicity are boring but highly underrated.

I like the platforms we are using.  Flip Grid has been really helpful.  I wish there was a way to get more students to join in live for class because those students seem to be having more success.

Definitely flipgrid is useful for student interaction.

When the school district starts requiring students to be be online for class, that is when you should see improvement. With us just letting the kids figure this out on their own with out being required to come interact with the class/teacher. I feel we will not see any improvement. No matter how many plat forms we create for the students to interact on.

It would be a platform that would be easy to use and allow for transparent communication between users with either typed or recorded responses.

I use pear deck on my slides and it lets me interact with students and get data from students. Also things like GimKit, Quizlet.Live, and Quizizz are great interavtive ways to get participation and engage students in the moment.

I love everyone's ideas! I'm all for technology, but I know that using a ton of different apps can be confusing for students AND parents.

It would be great to have a platform where more than 30 can get on the platform to discuss. I think this would be a great way to foster relationships with the students and find out what they understand and do not understand about what they are reading/learning.

Student engagement starts at home. We can fuel engagement, but cannot physically make a student get out a laptop if they are at home, no matter how exciting our lesson is. If I could build a platform for student engagement, it would look like a collection of responsibilities and accountability. Teachers are doing their part and are held accountable, but what about everyone else involved in that child's life? After all, if the district is worried about attendance and passing rates (because of money) then they should be willing to spend money to hold guardians accountable through mentorships as well as mental and behavioral health services.

Any platform we use should probably be those that are popular amongst all classes to limit the stress on our students trying to learn something new. I use flipgrid because it is easy, and also asynchronous because it is on their time.

The best way to learn is through practice and therefore you need to talk to others.

Any contact with students and/or parents is a positive. Engagement with students and their families will always improve the school learning environment.

A lot of teachers have mentioned giving extra credit to attend Google Meets. They say it works.

I am good with the platforms we already use, just wish we could have mandatory times to where the students have to engage. Even if it is just for 5 minutes out of the day.

Any platform for student engagement should use technology to allow students and teachers to connect with one another as people, building human relationships as a basic building block of instruction.
