Math Learning Lab: Sund 10/21 and 10/23 by Emily Johnson https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp I can articulate and plan for what deeper learning can look like in my classroom to provide opportunities for all students to grow. en-us 2020-10-06 00:59:16 UTC 2020-10-23 16:55:07 UTC hello@padlet.com jalbrigh https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849162957 Hybrid teaching has rock my teaching world. It has forced me to focus on how students engage best, what makes them stay engaged, and how can they be more willing to take risks when there are other distractors around them? I have had to more creative around feedback, self-assessing, and connecting students to the content. I know students are carrying the cognitive load and engagement when I see well thought out responses with mistakes and misconceptions. ]]> 2020-10-21 15:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849162957 Swack https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849165043 Hybrid teaching has most definitely challenged my teaching practices. While my beliefs have not changed, everything about how I teach has. I've had to be significantly more thoughtful about engagement for all students, especially those students that aren't in the room. I've had to consider various ways for students to communicate with me and with each other. ]]> 2020-10-21 15:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849165043 Hybrid learning is not my favorite thing to say the least. csund https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849165683 Last spring Dan Meyers said - we all know this isn't the best way to teach, get yourself through the next couple of months, but don't stress to learn all of this.  
But here we are. We have to engage and his platform has helped me the most. But I agree this is NOT the best way to teach. I feel like I'm spending 3 times as much time doing work and getting 1/5 the work back. ]]> 2020-10-21 15:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849165683 hkaspers https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849166563 Hybrid teaching has been a steep learning curve.  I can no longer look out at my students and "see" engagement nearly as easily.  Every week there has been something new I have tried to encourage student engagement (ie. warm-up get to know you questions, peardeck, break out rooms, chat discussions, etc.). I currently feel that engagement looks more behavioral and emotional right now and I would like to work on getting to those higher levels of cognitive engagement. Lessons like Sund's and continuing breakout rooms I think will help me to enhance engagement!]]> 2020-10-21 15:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849166563 Hybrid teaching has made it easier for students to be disengaged and for me to know it. It has forced me to be more creative about teaching, because it is really easy to get stuck on one tool once you find one that works. It's forcing us all to redefine engagement, and I'm hoping that it will ultimately be in a good way... 4everrescued https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849167298 2020-10-21 15:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849167298 Hybrid teaching has been tough. It is incredibly time consuming and has showed me that there are a lot of students who can slip through the cracks. Engagement is big in my classroom. I try my best to build solid relationships with students through peardeck, live meet (camera on), breakout rooms, study groups, etc. I also really try and just get to know my students by random questions, especially because there are a lot less opportunities for them to interact with their peers and myself 171474e https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849167300 2020-10-21 15:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/849167300 G.

It was great to see this in action, and in a simple way. Sometimes when I think about connecting to student lives, it always has to be something "big" or impactful... but Sund's connection was as simple as, "this will help us with the geometry we are doing and learning" and I think that was still relevant and important to the students' lives.]]> 2020-10-23 16:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/856504997 Swack https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/856506256 Through the use of breakout rooms, engagement for students was increased and all student voices were apparent and "heard" (even if only in the chat).

]]> 2020-10-23 16:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/eajohnso1/fsrmhxhb3cefz0yp/wish/856516452 This is getting them to engage with one another and in the article they talked about doing breakout rooms, etc. This is really important for those students to interact with one another during these times.
