https://padlet.com/gail_dececco/2ghvwjoelhdb I have 75 new students, and they all expect me to know their names by tomorrow. en-us 2016-09-05 17:40:31 UTC 2026-01-18 17:51:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Alarmclock.png gail_dececco https://padlet.com/gail_dececco/2ghvwjoelhdb/wish/121620763 Ready to print, or you can edit. I would add a question about personal electronics. Does the student have a smartphone to use in class? Do they have their own earbuds or will they need you to provide them?]]> 2016-09-05 17:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco/2ghvwjoelhdb/wish/121620763 gail_dececco https://padlet.com/gail_dececco/2ghvwjoelhdb/wish/121620831 Some are corny, but others are good.

One way that works for me is to have a Do Now notebook that students write in at the start of every class. I write the prompt on the board and students use the first 5-10 minutes of class to respond. The key is to respond weekly. It takes time, but the students love reading my responses and it definitely helps me build relationships.]]> 2016-09-05 17:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco/2ghvwjoelhdb/wish/121621519 gail_dececco https://padlet.com/gail_dececco/2ghvwjoelhdb/wish/121621851 I call each student's home by the end of the second week.
