ELA Reflection 2 by Nick Cusumano https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2 Questions What are two takeaways? A concern about anything we covered today? en-us 2016-08-01 00:17:55 UTC 2025-12-12 04:34:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png Loving It https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315370 Thank you for sharing so many useful tools, especially how to incorporate writing more effectively in the classroom. Are we going to have more time to play around with these tools, tomorrow? ]]> 2016-08-01 19:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315370 Many different apps to utilize...a bit overwhelming....but this is a year of trial and error! https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315387 2016-08-01 19:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315387 I am taking away that there are tons of apps that can be useful with Google classroom.  I know I can't do them all, but even if I try a a few, it will impact my classroom.  I still want to know how to take a Google doc, share it with a class, and have all students comment on it at once.   https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315390 2016-08-01 19:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315390 I loved learning about the wealth of online resources available, although it was a bit overwhelming.  I can't wait to use tools like mentimeter and padlet.  hpeterman1 https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315393 2016-08-01 19:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315393 Loved the reminder of how I can better apply Kagan strategies in my classroom. I learned about countless new tech resources I've never heard of, and I'm excited about Kaizena, Adobe Spark, and Quadblogging. dvondera https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315401 2016-08-01 19:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315401 karakotraba https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315405 Endless possibilities; keeping communication going beyond the computer screen]]> 2016-08-01 19:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315405 https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315419 A lot to take in...but I'm excited about using the Kagan strategies to get all students involved in the conversation, and I'm excited about experimenting with some of the tools we learned about this afternoon. I'm still not sure which exact tools will be most helpful, but I'm looking forward to experimenting.]]> 2016-08-01 19:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315419 Kaizena will save me much time in grading 10-page papers in Advanced Composition. I always say, "I wish I had an audio recorder of my thoughts."  https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315423 I also plan to use Kagan strategies to help all kids get involved in classroom conversation. I lose so much time at the start of class with computers logging on; I can use Kagan to focus kids on a discussion question while waiting for computers. ]]> 2016-08-01 19:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315423 So much to use and I love having all the resources to come back to later! lcribbin https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315429 2016-08-01 19:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315429 https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315436 There were several great resources that will help keep students engaged however it would have been more beneficial to have more "sandbox" time to explore and try the programs.

I wish there would have been more time to check out the programs while there are experts for me to ask questions

]]> 2016-08-01 19:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315501 Would it be possible to have the changes to some of the assignments for grad credit clarified in writing (in the assignment description perhaps)? Just don't want to get confused after tomorrow is over. dvondera https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315510 2016-08-01 19:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315510 https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315525 Voice Thread for gallery walks; google play back of revisions to give kids an idea of what it means to work on a paper; so many things in livebinders to use for collaborative writing and book club discussions. ]]> 2016-08-01 19:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315525 I like the Kaizena and the other platforms for sharing writing.  I would like to see you could incorporate Google classroom more into our classroom. dvallat https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315564 2016-08-01 19:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117315564 https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117334094 While all of it is overwhelming, I hope to select a few of them to use in the first week, and see how it goes from there. I loved storybird and will definitely look at that for creative writing opps. I am still wondering about the basics of google classroom. I am gaining confidence in the exploration of new platforms. The Kagan strategies we used today were more appropriate for middle school kids.]]> 2016-08-02 01:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ncusumano/ELA2/wish/117334094
