I think this is happening because I start each day/lesson with a video of me talking and going through the guiding questions/learning goals/words of the days/agenda for the day. I think students like seeing my face and hearing my voice. ]]> 2020-04-24 13:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/debbie_bell2/d05o7o8euxkoo5ip/wish/528326958 https://padlet.com/debbie_bell2/d05o7o8euxkoo5ip/wish/528327775 I'm really becoming an amateur film editor... but most of all I have enjoyed my two-three times a week Google Meets with students. It's been great to see them, hear from them and simply connect.

I wish we were all together to work together, but their poems have been turning out wonderful. Also, the resiliency of the students is amazing.]]> 2020-04-24 13:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/debbie_bell2/d05o7o8euxkoo5ip/wish/528331817 https://padlet.com/debbie_bell2/d05o7o8euxkoo5ip/wish/528332236 My students were just finishing essays when we left buildings for the strike.  When we started distance learning about 75% of my students worked to complete final drafts of their essays. What?

We are also really enjoying our 'live' sessions (optional of course) and we play games and enjoy each other's company.

Now we are cooking! Hopefully this will continue as we move on...
