The in-person learning was so much more meaningful!]]> 2020-12-15 23:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022277346 Canvas is a flawed system that creates more impediments to learning than opportunities for it. It should not be abandoned and replaced by something even worse, but its centrality should be lessened. https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022277409 2020-12-15 23:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022277409 More accountability for attendance https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022277477 We need more accountability for attendance, specifically in PreK when there are no repercussions for not attending or completing assignments.]]> 2020-12-15 23:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022277477 Consistency https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022277650 Have more consistency in what principals are doing with their teachers.]]> 2020-12-15 23:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022277650 Teaching and learning lessons...continue https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022280086 2020-12-15 23:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022280086 deep cleaning https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022280746 some schools deep clean on Wednesdays and others don't]]> 2020-12-15 23:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022280746 Adapt https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022280782

]]> 2020-12-15 23:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022280782 Our classroom was a distance learning classroom before the pandemic ever hit. We used nearly exclusively digital technology. The "distance" was from students' desks to mine. Now it is from their homes to mine. The adjustment was very simple. https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022282955 2020-12-15 23:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022282955 We need Google Classroom back! For real-time close editing of writing, it has no peer! Canvas's editing and comment function is worse than useless--one little comment box for a whole document. Using Google Docs through Canvas is unwieldy--possibly by design. Please bring back Google Classroom! https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022305482 2020-12-15 23:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/castaan/kvnofdsj2wqe37ac/wish/1022305482
