Remote Learning Reflection by Rebecca Kinnee https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl WHS staff en-us 2020-04-03 15:51:33 UTC 2025-11-24 15:09:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4bb.png I actually have to be available more hours . Most kids that I serve are babysitting so I tend to get a lot of questions around 5 or 6 pm and later. I keep my email open to support.-Ania https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491541467 2020-04-03 16:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491541467 I am giving kids choice and not hard deadlines so things have to be turned in by our next Zoom-Actually, Mara L. brought up an excellent point on providing choices in activities which then leads to points in their favor by choosing as many activities for the week as they want. Only can improve their grade and learning-I liked this and started the same process-Ania https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491545231 2020-04-03 16:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491545231 Students can make up old work and submit via Schoology since I was electronic already-they have choices in their current activities to earn points not get penalized.-Ania https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491550453 2020-04-03 16:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491550453 Talking to fast on Zoom without visuals-half get the directives-I now follow up with an update of encouragement on Schoology or email for clarification.-Ania https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491554219 2020-04-03 16:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/491554219 I was surprised by the students who showed up! I was still at around 50% participation, but those that participated were ones that I wasn't expecting. It's great data for planning for next year's courses to give them options for raising their grades and participating in class. rebecca_canady https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492748223 2020-04-04 20:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492748223 For each Zoom, I did a "highs and lows" check-in. They're used to this because we would do it every Monday. They need to give one highlight and one lowlight from their time at home. It forces them to find something positive versus focusing on only the negative. As for my own SEL needs.....it's still a work in progress. With 2 small kids and a sick spouse, it's difficult right now. rebecca_canady https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492749265 2020-04-04 20:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492749265 I sent individuals with F's emails on what they can do to improve. rebecca_canady https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492750766 2020-04-04 20:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492750766 I'm going to encourage more chat conversations than verbal. With a lot of my students choosing to not show their faces, it's really hard to gauge where they are in our conversation. I'll be structuring my "lessons" to incorporate more written responses and then call on individuals to verbally respond. rebecca_canady https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492751221 2020-04-04 20:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/492751221 stephencolella https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494627777 I have asked the students what they recommend they want to do to makeup the work. Trying to give them the opportunity to be creative to see what they can come up with to make up the work. ]]> 2020-04-06 12:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494627777 We do a thing in class called "glad moments" where we celebrate the small things. The beginning of the week was GREAT, the end of the week was a little more challenging getting them to talk and participate. I personally am struggling with the mornings trying to get my 8 yrs old going on her REMOTE LEARNING. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get her all going and locked in and then needing to jump right to our zoom. stephencolella https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494633513 2020-04-06 12:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494633513 I was happy to see almost all of my kids! The first week was successful, but really getting a sense that many of them are really struggling being at home and I will readjust the activities that I have given them. stephencolella https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494640460 2020-04-06 12:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494640460 Students may complete previous missing work or re-do low scored work. julissa_hernand1 https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494708728 2020-04-06 13:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494708728 I try to reply to student emails, questions, requests, etc. as soon as I can. julissa_hernand1 https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494722826 2020-04-06 13:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494722826 michaelmalek https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494731600 I was really excited about the perfect attendance this week in all of my classes. I think it shows you how much the students care about their relationships with their classmates and teachers. It was challenging, however, to see students at the end of the week turning off their cameras and microphones. It was hard to make a connection with the students with a blank screen. I will be asking all students to keep cameras on for the whole length of the zoom conferences.

What shows are they watching? How are they doing with grocery shopping? Are you feeling anxious at home or are you actually enjoying the shelter in place?  I have also been sharing some of the good/bad things we have been experiencing through all of this.

I sent them emails with what they were missing and told them it would be a great opportunity to "right the ship" if their grades weren't so great before this all happened. ]]> 2020-04-06 13:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/494746139 svetlanafastovskaya https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495272278 I have created a google classroom " Student Services ONE STOP SHOP" where I am adding all SEL resources and webinars. I will start including " assignments" by topic. This is for STAFF only ( but you can copy and share it with students if you find something useful). Let me know if teachers are interested and we will create it for you as well!!

]]> 2020-04-06 16:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495288929 I was happy about the attendance in some classes, but I also had some with very poor attendance which was frustrating. From week 1 to week 2, I'm going to switch my 9am's to 10am which I feel will boost attendance. Also, kids that did show up for the zooms said that they would prefer it starting at 10 rather than 9. johnkritek https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495868995 2020-04-06 23:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495868995 I am giving the kids who miss the zooms an option to fill out a google form which allows me to get to see how they're doing both social-emotionally as well as academically. I am also giving the students in my non-dual credit class some different options for their assignments. johnkritek https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495872000 2020-04-06 23:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495872000 I am letting all students turn in any missing work and also letting them redo any assignments/projects that they did poorly on. In addition to having this on schoology and talking about it in my zoom meetings, I am also emailing the D/F students and letting them know that these options exist . johnkritek https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495873624 2020-04-07 00:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495873624 I think its helpful to have the kids unmute their computers and have each student at least say something. Maybe it's how their week is going or maybe its about a discussion from the zoom. Like in a normal class, it's really important to include everyone if possible. johnkritek https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495875236 2020-04-07 00:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495875236 getting in touch with students during zoom- it was great to see them and talk to them about what they have been up to jamiekaravouzi https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495893580 2020-04-07 00:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495893580 I'm not trying to overwhelm them as an elective course. I just want to touch base with them and even talk about good netflix shows to watch :) jamiekaravouzi https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495894259


]]> 2020-04-07 00:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495894259 I have new activities they may complete to replace any old class assignment grades that are low or missing. Since my students depend on the preschool kids for these assignments, I had to create a different approach. But it is working jamiekaravouzi https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495894765 2020-04-07 00:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495894765 Encourage kids to participate instead of just watch. Try to be flexible with the time you schedule your zoom- many students request the later of the time slot jamiekaravouzi https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495895369 2020-04-07 00:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/495895369 The remote learning seems to work really well with two types of students, those that are super motivated to begin with, and those who have fallen behind in a traditional classroom setting and prefer the flexibility of this type of learning. rebeccah_silver https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496590565 2020-04-07 11:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496590565 Every activity that we've done so far has an interest-based component to it. I also start each lesson with a survey that asks students questions that tie directly into any social/emotional concerns they might have. A few have opened up to me in the survey-in a way they never would during a group ZOOM conference. It's just awkward, because I always respond via e-mail- where in the past I could have that one on one conversation with the kids. rebeccah_silver https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496592592 2020-04-07 11:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496592592 I've explained to the students that this remote learning is a huge opportunity to make up any missing work as I will count the assignments we're doing doing this time as stand-ins for work in class. There are a few kids who I can tell feel like they are getting a second chance and are taking the opportunity! rebeccah_silver https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496595944 2020-04-07 11:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496595944 I found that a lot of the kids didn't even want to show their faces on the sceen- so I was teaching to a bunch of faceless, muted screens- not good. I had them each make a virtual background (which doesn't work on every ipad- I'm finding out) and then share what it looks like on the screen and talk about why they chose the imagery they did. A lot of kids started "coming out of their shell". rebeccah_silver https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496598621 2020-04-07 11:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496598621 When I do any kind of screen sharing, I stop after 3-5 minutes and either look in my chat window (because I can't see everyone's face), and ask them if they have any questions or concerns, or go back to a gallery view of the class and ask a question about what was covered to make sure that the kids are understanding and still "there". rebeccah_silver https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496600715 2020-04-07 12:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496600715 lizbeth_arreolanunez https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496658527 In two of my classes all students joined the Zoom meeting! I also got a lot f positive feedback from my students about the choice board I created for them. One thing that has been challenging is getting students to turn in missing work from Quarter 3. ]]> 2020-04-07 12:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496658527 After every Zoom meeting I ask my students to fill out a Google Form so they can let me know how they are feeling or way for them to vent. Also, on Schoology I created a folder with different resources I case they get anxious or lonely. I also provided resources for them in case they get bored, online coloring books, puzzles, virtual games or games they can play with their family. lizbeth_arreolanunez https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496665451 2020-04-07 12:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496665451 lizbeth_arreolanunez https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496669329 I've been e-mailing students with the missing work they had for Quarter 3. Also with my choice board students have turn in a reflection sheet at the end of the week and if they turn it in they get points. ]]> 2020-04-07 12:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496669329 lizbeth_arreolanunez https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496671632 ALWAYS screen share with your students when explaining an assignment. I start my class with a question for them every time they meet so they can all feel more present and participate in the Zoom. They actually all participate and never get the IDK answer. ]]> 2020-04-07 12:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496671632 carriemattingly https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496700692 Recording class Zoom meetings was helpful for the students that didn't log onto the meeting as it happened; they can access the videos on Schoology. ]]> 2020-04-07 13:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496700692 carriemattingly https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496703385 I created a quiz on Schoology called "Are you okay?" and asked all of my students to complete it. For me, I'm making an effort to get outside every day. Also, putting on real pants is quite motivating. ]]> 2020-04-07 13:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496703385 brianne_rand https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496705481 I provided my students choice boards to raise their grade and to keep current on assignments. I am also entering grades even though the score actually doesn't count. I'm trying to keep that part of class the same so that learning doesn't feel like a whole new endeavor. As I put things in the gradebook, I noticed more students jump on board to get things "scored." The challenge is still to engage the learners that are not self-motivating.]]> 2020-04-07 13:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496705481 carriemattingly https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496708700 Students are allowed to complete any missing formative assignments that count as a percentage of their grade. Any of the unit assessments moving forward are available for them to take multiple times. ]]> 2020-04-07 13:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496708700 vernonvanvleet https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496709163 My classes all had pretty good attendance. Only missing a few from each class. It is challenging to get students to put forth more than a minimal effort. I am adjusting what I do during the Zoom meetings to include a mini lesson and practice over a review topic for about 10 min. Went pretty well yesterday. ]]> 2020-04-07 13:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496709163 brianne_rand https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496712408 When we Zoom, I'm trying to make sure that I say each student's name that has shown up. It doesn't seem like a lot, but since you can't make eye contact it's a nice way to connect. I shared with students the counselors' slideshow and extend my zoom beyond the instructional time so that others can just 'check in.' ]]> 2020-04-07 13:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496712408 carriemattingly https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496714042 There's a website that let's you convert tests from Word to a Blackboard format that can be imported into Schoology. It's a time saver once you figure it out. 

The Zoom features like choosing who students can chat with and being able to mute everyone are helpful. ]]> 2020-04-07 13:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496714042 brianne_rand https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496716577 I am assigning weekly tasks and if students complete these assignments, they are getting a 'bonus' grade. So if I assign 4 tasks and they complete all 4, they get week 1 bonus point added to their grades. All missing work can be made up. ]]> 2020-04-07 13:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496716577 vernonvanvleet https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496721785 Students can make up any missing work. For retakes for assessments they complete an assignment same as before and then meet with me in a Zoom to complete a reassessment over a standard. ]]> 2020-04-07 13:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496721785 I used a google form survey to allow my students to check in if they missed the zoom meeting. Something challenging for me was most students had their camera off. I realized how much I use facial expression to determine my students understanding. I am using other features in zoom such as give me a thumbs up or send me a message of understanding in the chat room. catherinezaworski https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496790332 2020-04-07 13:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496790332 I am letting the students know there are still support systems available to them. In my check in, I had students answer some social emotional questions to gauge if they needed extra support. catherinezaworski https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496802695 2020-04-07 13:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496802695 I provided alternative projects for the students to turn in for missing assignments because most students would not have the materials at home. I am also providing additional projects for students to use as replacing any missing assignments. catherinezaworski https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496806763 2020-04-07 13:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496806763 I think the surveys using google forms have been useful. It is a nice way for kids to check in. catherinezaworski https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496814478 2020-04-07 13:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496814478 The kids seemed to enjoy the zooms. They especially liked seeing each other. I think some of them would like to zoom more often than once a week. The biggest challenge is to keep them motivated to do some work. Many are not doing anything yet. This week there are some different types of assignments, so maybe that will help. bruce_varela https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496831257 2020-04-07 13:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496831257 We are having good discussions and I have been emailing with them a lot. I always ask them how they are doing and if they need anything. I have some choice activities that have to do with SEL. My own needs are fine, there's enough to keep me busy. bruce_varela https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496837971 2020-04-07 14:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496837971 Students are able to turn in any missing assignments from this semester. Due dates don't really mean anything at this point either. bruce_varela https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496840747 2020-04-07 14:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496840747 I also had a class with mostly hidden faces. I'm going to do something to encourage to make a background and have themselves in front of a background, because I want to see them too. bruce_varela https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496862750 2020-04-07 14:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496862750 It was encouraging to see most students show up for the Zoom meetings. Some kids took the initiative even before our meeting to get started on the materials I had posted on schoology. The most challenging is trying to get students to do something after the zoom. I'm trying to give them choices on what to do and opportunities to raise their grades but very few are taking advatange. Still trying find ways to get these kids invested - I might send individual emails to students and parents. - Ann Ku https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496914983 2020-04-07 14:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496914983 I have a reflection form students fill out where they can share concerns, etc. https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496924379 I've been trying to get outside, get some exercise in

Easy to give comments and submit assignments. Most students already seem to know how to use it. https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496933815 2020-04-07 14:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/496933815 My students elyse_hoffman https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497127327 I asked students in the first meeting "what can you do this week to make you or someone you know happy?" and I followed up this week by asking them what they did. It was very positive and I think it gave the other students (who didn't say anything) some ideas about what they could be doing.]]> 2020-04-07 16:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497127327 juniors/seniors elyse_hoffman https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497130971 I asked them to watch this video and then asked them to learn or do something new to share with us the following week.]]> 2020-04-07 16:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497130971 tests/quizzes elyse_hoffman https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497140273 I am posting some tests and quizzes for them to do at home.

They can't see what you are screen sharing once they are in their "rooms".]]> 2020-04-07 16:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497145923 Students can either submit old work or choose from some new assignments and they can go to raising their grade. juliebale https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497147451 2020-04-07 16:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497147451 Most students quickly understood how to use zoom, but I wish more students would show their face on their camera instead of ceiling or black screen. I am not making a lot of big changes this week, I wanted to keep the experience similar so that myself and my students can feel more comfortable with everything before throwing new things into the mix. juliebale https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497154430 2020-04-07 16:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497154430 During each zoom, they give me a number between 5 and 0 to express how they are doing. I follow up with an email to any students who have a low number. I also am giving them flexibility within their assignments. juliebale https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497170790 2020-04-07 16:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497170790 janetkoelper https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497193140 Flexibility in assignments (work on remediation/missing work, enrichment topics, or current topic of instruction).  Weekly feedback form for students to complete about a variety of topics (what work did they complete for the week, what they are binge watching, what are they doing physical activity)

They responded well to the work we did together, they asked questions and used the chat to give me useful feedback. I will continue to find ways for the students to engage during the ZOOM rather than just listen. It helps to have some form of interaction. mariola_sobol https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497232783 2020-04-07 16:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497232783 Students can make up any missing work. I've also been scheduling one-on-one Zoom meetings with students - that seemed to result in the most work completed so far. Not all students are responding to that though. Will continue to brainstorm :) mariola_sobol https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497238053 2020-04-07 16:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497238053 I was able to run a Quizizz Live game during a ZOOM meeting - that was a fun way for students to interact as a whole class. mariola_sobol https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497240510 2020-04-07 16:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497240510 I am super impressed with our students - attendance, engagement, motivation, all of it. I'm going to offer a "World Lit Wrap Up" on Fridays sometime during office hours and invite all of my world lit students to join. We can just ask questions, connect, share stories, etc. megan_baker6 https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497700801 2020-04-07 22:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497700801 For our class this week, I am showing the Rooted in Love video and having a discussion about the spectrum of feelings this situation evokes.

Students can earn this (or not) through tons of options. We will do this each week. megan_baker6 https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497706101 2020-04-07 22:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497706101 It was nice to be able to talk to my students again. It is so weird not seeing them almost every day. It is challenging for me to make connections with all students though. Some students will chat a little before or after class, but many will just log on, keep their videos off and not say anything. I also have had significantly less students come to class starting week 2. mara_leane https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497836170 2020-04-08 01:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497836170 I sent individual emails to all students (and parents) with Ds and Fs with plans of what to make up. I've had a few of them turn missing work in. I am still trying to get some others to do their missing work. All students can turn in any missing work. I've also created choice boards for each of my classes. Students can complete optional, enrichment assignments to improve their grade as well. mara_leane https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497837524 2020-04-08 01:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497837524 ann_wyatt https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497857266 I think it was just good to say hello and make sure everyone was doing ok! This week instead of just saying hi on the zoom, I am asking all of my students to answer one of 3 questions I posed in the chat section of the zoom. So far that is working well. All of them are talking!

]]> 2020-04-08 01:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497857266 I think the zooms are helping with student morale. I am emailing students separately when I don't see them in the weekly zoom. I also gave them choices for what to work on for the week -- I think that still confuses them despite the fact that I have explained they don't have to do EVERYTHING I have provided :) For myself, I have been taking long walks when I can....being disconnected from tech at some point during the day is SUPER important for me. ann_wyatt https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497859363 2020-04-08 01:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497859363 ann_wyatt https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497861904 Anything new that I "assign" is simply bonus points in IC (those who do not complete it are not penalized). I am also giving students the chance to make up old work -- they can submit old assignments on Schoology. As far as missed tests, I am still trying to figure out how to give those tests that are sitting in test make-up -- some of them are not really accessible online. That is my goal for this week...figuring out the substitute for those.]]> 2020-04-08 01:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497861904 ann_wyatt https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497865397 same comment as Megan -- I'm on that team, too :) We also asked the kids to fill out a reflection form at the end of the week so they can tell us what they selected to work on for the week and how they are feeling, etc. I think that form is helpful.]]> 2020-04-08 02:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rm179/hmcn5wnq36hl/wish/497865397 I drop random students an email to say Hi and they are missed with a link to counselor zoom sessions and our emails.
