It's not feasible to enter a lab space during the current state of social distancing due to this airborne pathogen COVID-19, therefore doing any hands-on practice  that can be monitored by an instructor in person has been voided. For example, a skill such as hand washing may be able to be completed virtually if students submit videos of themselves completing the task. However, a skill such as bed making has so much intricate details that if not in person to assess the process as it goes along, students will miss and not understand the  severity of the minor detailing of the skill. ]]> 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591842 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591847 Morning Meeting works well in person, but we found it to be very challenging during remote learning. We utilize in person Morning Meeting for a variety instructional and learning opportunities. Students learn to wait, take turns, engage in peer to peer relationships, learn to initate actions, ask and answer questions, and demonstrate readiness goals. During remote learning it was challenging because students were isolated in their computer screen. It was difficult for students to understand that they could interact together while on zoom. It became more challenging when students were muted, either by the teacher or by the parent due extraneous noise. This further minimized  postitive interaction opportunities and engagment. Additionally, families didn't all participate the same way and parents had different expectations for their children. ]]> 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591847 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591848 How to incorporate experiential learning online? ]]> 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591848 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591849 Guided reading -- in general. Pulling a small group and reading with students at a table isn't something that easily translates to virtual formatting. Previously, our team members scheduled roughly 30 minutes of time devoted to each reading group and screenshared a book to read together. We also focused on students reading below benchmark and noticed a difference in students' reading success if they had a hardcopy book in front of them. ]]> 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591849 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591851 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591851 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591854 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591854 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591855 A practice that we find to be very challenging during remote learning are the lack of physical manipulatives (protractors, blocks, rulers, algebra tiles, physical models, etc) and graphia (writing math on paper). These tools are essential for helping students to understand math through modeling and to activate a different type of learning (kinesthetic). Clicking and selecting images doesn't activate the same type of learning as physically engaging with the objects and some students may have fine motor issues. Although there are many virtual manipulatives available, they don't make the students feel like they are "in the action" and there is a steep learning curve for students whenever they are expected to use a new tool (there isn't a single math app that has all manipulatives for students). Also, it's difficult to provide feedback when using digital manipulatives because teachers cannot see the work that students are doing. Also, our students face structural challenges when it comes to Internet and technology access. At the end of the day, virtual tools do not replace physical ones and they are often not able to be used in the same way as physical tools.]]> 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591855 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591856 Real time oral communication with feedback (peer or teacher)?]]> 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591856 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591859 Getting students to talk to each other an engage in academic discourse is a challenge to do on line. In the classroom environment we can see students, read their body language, walk around the room encouraging with subtle visual, verbal and physical prompts. In the online environment, there are small boxes, usually blacked out, and students are muted. Our team discussed the challenge of trying to recreate a consistent and continuous discourse where students ask questions,  explore answers and struggle with a text. How do we get students to talk to each other instead of the teacher "leading the zoom session", agreeing, disagreeing, expanding their thinking so that, like in the classroom, at the end of the session there is a communal, deep understanding of the text in questions, or a determination that we need further discussion.]]> 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591859 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591862 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591862 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591863 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591863 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591867 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591867 jmaddenfuoco https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591869 2020-08-24 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaddenfuoco/jpkrf697zt3uv0n0/wish/695591869
