We are not alone in this new process together. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674586191 The format of today's session had structure and purpose.]]> 2020-08-10 17:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674586191 I would be interested in discussing more ways to effectively engage young learners with online learning https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674587572 2020-08-10 17:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674587572 It was helpful to hear different perspectives. I feel like there are many districts with good plans. Our plan seems very overwhelming, so hearing feedback about it from outside perspectives was nice. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674587653 2020-08-10 17:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674587653 Misty https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674588716 Just the dialogue and peoples really great ideas... I am always amazed with how people rise in times of struggle.

I appreciated sharing our emotional concerns with fellow educators - almost like group therapy, ha! https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674609388 2020-08-10 17:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674609388 It was good to join conversations with other professionals about how they are approaching current educational issues. dmhenry91 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674609902 2020-08-10 17:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674609902 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674610499 I really enjoyed talking with teachers/administrators from districts and hearing their ideas and thoughts.]]> 2020-08-10 17:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674610499 Some breakouts ran too long. dmhenry91 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674610819 2020-08-10 17:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674610819 I also would like to see how people are doing student work and how people do breakouts on zoom not being able to be in all the groups at one time. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674611155 2020-08-10 17:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674611155 I really enjoyed speaking with teachers/administrators from districts.

Having groups of people who teach the same grade level.]]> 2020-08-10 17:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674612696 I found it helpful to listen to other fellow educators that are sharing this turbulent experience. Knowing that my anxieties and questions are not mine alone, was helpful. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674613727 2020-08-10 17:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674613727 It was helpful to talk with other classroom teachers and see what platforms they were using. Great ideas were shared including technology. I enjoyed the small group interactions. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674614002 2020-08-10 17:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674614002 Shared experiences and smaller group presentations on different app/tech platform implementation and insight. dmhenry91 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674614006 2020-08-10 17:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674614006 It was nice to hear from other district teachers as well as from teachers out of state. It helped a lot. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674614313 2020-08-10 17:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674614313 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/e15egki18enjeqwl/wish/674614989 The only thing that would have improved this event would be to have come in knowing what our expectations were for state/district, but since those are still up in the air, there really isn't much to change. However, this was helpful in realizing we are not alone.
