Continuity v.

Reponse (Andy): Yes and No– I'm wondering if more of this has to do with the fact we're not seeing kids be actively disengaged because they're on screens and thus somewhat subdued (was trying to think of a better word) in their disengagement – I'm wondering if it just looks different.

But as I thought more, I also realized how helpful being able to see others' responses were in real time. In a way, others' responses almost functioned as real time exemplars which was really helpful pedagogically (as well as giving me more to think about that I could then address in the off-line discussion). ]]> 2022-04-11 15:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139342748 Reflecting via the Padlet was helpful to ground myself again in relevant aspects of the reading, which I think served to make the real-life discussion more generative. https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139342750 2022-04-11 15:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139342750 Organizing and Connecting, but Overwhelming https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139342838 I think that in a space like this, using Padlet helped us to organize thoughts and could be helpful to look across questions to draw connections and themes for discussions beyond our own reading. I think the images and quotes together was a bit overwhelming, and having to scroll through the different categories made it challenging. ]]> 2022-04-11 15:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139342838 Made me more aware of my interaction with knowledge dispersed across digital spaces as a learner.... this brought that interaction to the fore https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139344381 2022-04-11 15:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139344381 amyguillotte https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139345114 I always find it helpful to go back to the readings before discussing them- not sure the streams on pallet are the easiest- I find it easier when the padlet posts just all populate and you don't have to scroll in the different columns.]]> 2022-04-11 15:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139345114 tmbernhard https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139346891 Padlet is slightly more constrained than Jamboard in allowing you to see across ideas and lump things together. There is also always a time suck in learning the use of a new platform (that pays off as you use it repeatedly.) However, I was able to more seriously consider my own thoughts to start the discussion rather than immediately respond to others (Tess)]]> 2022-04-11 15:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/9yp14wk2khactesi/wish/2139346891
