I'll definitely add this to my "virtual bag of tricks". awallin3 https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/693036282 2020-08-22 20:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/693036282 I really like the idea of building a word cloud about ourselves and using that as our background or just sharing it with each other. tscheibe https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/698757429 2020-08-25 22:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/698757429 tscheibe https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/698759683 I liked the idea of having students greet each other at the beginning of the meeting. I liked the idea of creating an interest survey and then putting the results together to share commonalities between students. ]]> 2020-08-25 22:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/698759683 tscheibe https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/698761943 I bookmarked a lot of the articles shared in the PD document. There are so many great ideas that I had not even considered. ]]> 2020-08-25 22:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/698761943 Cohost jimmylawrence https://padlet.com/btrueblood/ao8c5rma23go/wish/716250213 I like the idea of doing cohosting, it's also something that could work really well with other directors as we could meet with different student groups from other schools as we all specialize in different instruments. Great way to let students feel connected not only with our school and me as a teacher, but also know they have support beyond that

I can pop in and add a short feedback or just a fun comment or acknowledge their work/interactions with each other.
