I personally have a hard time concentrating if I am sitting and listening for extended periods of time (20mins+), so if we had more activities or discussion between the "lectures" it would be a lot more engaging!]]> 2017-10-02 02:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/192835112 https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/193182827 Sometimes I find it confusing to sort through all of the emails that we receive throughout the week, and the Blackboard documents that are posted. I would appreciate more concise and organized communication with students (e.g. In emails, and Blackboard course documents and announcements, assignment sign-ups using Google Docs).]]> 2017-10-02 19:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/193182827 https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/193218496 It would be nice if we could choose our own seats some weeks, or sit with a different arrangement of cards, so that we have a chance to work with different people.]]> 2017-10-02 21:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/193218496 kasia_kazanowski https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/196232168 This isn't so much a suggestion, but is a question that has come up for me and I was wondering if there is some way look into it. I have become increasingly interested in how to effectively teach literacy to split grades i.e Gr. 3-4. I would really like to experience working through an activity that would be able to target 2 grades at once if possible.]]> 2017-10-11 21:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/196232168 rachel_petrie55 https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/197553989 It would be really helpful and less confusing if the multiple documents for the assignments were combined into one, so that the instructions, template success criteria, submission information and grading rubric could all be found in one place.

If you are working on Sunday for example if can be hard to fit them in.]]> 2017-10-23 11:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/199509911 isabelle_beauvais https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/200545302 Considering the work needed to complete the Week Plan and the personal online portfolio assignment, I think most students would appreciate and benefit from a decrease in expectations for the next Virtual Tour. For example, concentrating on fewer hot spots]]> 2017-10-25 17:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/200545302 https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/200820493 Feeling as though this course is heavier in terms of assignments than the other courses in the program. Suggesting perhaps pooling the assignments to create a big final assignment and a smaller assignment due midway through the semester. ]]> 2017-10-26 14:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/200820493 natalie_snider https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/201802920 Perhaps we could focus on watching multiple virtual tours (2-3?) in a junior grade to give a broad understanding in a certain grade level. We could then focus on our top 5 activities and how/why we could benefit from using them in our classroom, and how we could modify them for our classrooms. I think this would be a great opportunity for us to see more ideas for excellent literacy programming and the assignment could involve writing a reflection about how we can include these in our teaching practice for the most effective literacy programming. 

We are finding we have gained so much from the readings, class material and the other assignments that completing a second virtual tour may not add as much value as exploring more tours, gaining more ideas and reflecting upon them for our own practice. ]]> 2017-10-30 16:16:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/201802920 rachel_petrie55 https://padlet.com/dale_willows1/Suggestions/wish/210233520 In some classes we have had a form to evaluate the classmates in our group and talk about the value of each persons contributions and their ability to work well in the group, I have found this helpful and would appreciate a similar opportunity for
