- having guest speakers join my classroom -- an Astronomer answered questions the kids had and engaged them in such a great way!
- Sending out surveys to students for us to constantly reflect on how remote learning is going and how it can be changed. Kids have noticed changes and thanked me for that and know that they are heard and listened to and have ownership over their learning. 
- interacting with my students in different ways, such as cooking with them and completing challenges that they suggested. Students really loved it.   ]]> 2020-06-04 17:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611593044 jgoldberg23 https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611617318 Successes from Remote learning:
- Went above and beyond by creating Google forms to make it easier for students to focus on one location rather then jump back and for between many platforms.
- communicated with students responding to questions that they had using google platform and questions on assignments.
- Making thinking visible by creating silly Theme day questions non-related to curriculum to get students vocal about current situation and have them open up more.
- created padlet to get students feedback on using other means of communication]]> 2020-06-04 17:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611617318 alopez1118 https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611623283 Reminders about the great aspects of stations! Amplify has lessons that often include multiple forms of differentiation in terms of process but these do not necessarily need to be experienced in a linear format. There can be stations of an article reading, a simulation, a video, a discussion prompt etc. while I have a small group taking place. 

Also I have been making video screen cast recordings of all the lessons which have helped some kids to do the lessons self-paced while still learning (as evidence from informal and formative assessments) This can be set up for groups in the class that this works well for while then having other students in the class work in small groups. ]]> 2020-06-04 17:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611623283 jgoldberg23 https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611648271 Today, I was reminded of the use of multiple stations. In years past, I would set up stations and have groups of students rotate between those different modules. Stations can also be used to differentiate learning groups to allow all students to work in smaller groups allowing us (the teachers) to work with different groups that are working on different tasks rather than a whole group presentation.

Edgenuity. It has preloaded content you can use and you can track student progress. Basically you can make powerpoints with videos embedded and include transcripts and formative assessments for your units.  It tracks student progress through the unit for you. Kids can go at their own pace but there's also settings that if they get a certain number of checkpoints wrong or score low on assessments they get locked out of going further without teacher intervention and assistance with the material.]]> 2020-06-04 18:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611652688 jgoldberg23 https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611655905 Use of flipgrid's disco library to help create innovative lessons . ]]> 2020-06-04 18:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611655905 alopez1118 https://padlet.com/alopez1118/7thgradescience/wish/611657486 Students can use this as a differentiated way of expressing their ideas.
