https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt How can I meet the needs for all of my students? I teach 7th and 8th graders at a district where a lot of the students don't have consistent access to technology at home. I also teach a lot of classes where I have students that are higher achieving in coding than other students. A lot of diversity in terms of economic status and abilities. en-us 2019-02-11 15:17:36 UTC 2019-02-20 13:58:10 UTC hello@padlet.com a_n_roberson https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329910993 Can you post resources for students online so they can be self directed more if they are stuck or need to move forward? ]]> 2019-02-11 15:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329910993 a_n_roberson https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329911775 Can you make videos for students to reinforce or introduce ideas, leaving you to help students individually in person more?]]> 2019-02-11 15:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329911775 a_n_roberson https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329913484 This is definitely an "out of the box" idea. The public library in Portland, ME checks out wifi hotspots. I wonder if students could take home their devices and those who do not have internet could also take home wifi hotspots. Are there grants available to make this a reality?]]> 2019-02-11 15:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329913484 a_n_roberson https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329914582 Can all work be done in class? ]]> 2019-02-11 15:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329914582 a_n_roberson https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329921430 I'm sure you've seen these "menus" where students choose tasks from different "courses" for their assessment rather than all creating the same project.]]> 2019-02-11 15:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329921430 a_n_roberson https://padlet.com/cchen152/6nva0oxeibxt/wish/329978760 You mentioned in-person field trips, and you might also consider Skype or Google Hangouts to give students even more exposure to STEM careers.

If this is the case, could they choose a school-based problem to help them feel a sense of purpose and connection?
