What are your intentions/goals for your learning in this course? en-us 2021-07-11 12:40:06 UTC 2026-03-23 15:26:01 UTC hello@padlet.com hwendorf https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1645955918 This course might be valuable to me in ways such as reflection, readiness for a new school year, and shared experience. My intentions with this course are to deepen my understanding of virtual learning and see what practices I can bring over into my in person classroom. ]]> 2021-07-12 13:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1645955918 labriej https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646065186 I predict that this course will better prepare me for finding effective ways to teach online in the future. My goal for this course is to really find ways to utilize online teaching within the classroom. It has me rethinking snow days and days that students are home sick. ]]> 2021-07-12 15:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646065186 Class Predictions https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646083386 While I don't think I will be doing any remote teaching this year, having the knowledge and skills to quickly and fluidly adjust to an online model is important. It is my hope that this class will give me the tools that I need to be an effective educator in the remote world. Many of these skills may also be of value in my in-person classroom enviornment. ]]> 2021-07-12 15:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646083386 Class Predictions jenniemoynihan https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646087843 While I don't think I will be doing any remote teaching this year, having the knowledge and skills to quickly and fluidly adjust to an online model is important.

My goal for this course is to evaluate what aspects of my online curriculum are most effective and what I should move away from in order to best serve my students.

It is my hope that by doing so I will learn different and better strategies for remote learning. While I am not sure we will do a ton of remote learning in the upcoming year, I predict it is one of those things that is not going away, and it is best to be prepared.

I don't know about the rest of you educators, but I have had a hard time bouncing back from the feeling of inadequacy that the stress of this year left me with.  Pre-pandemic, I was confident in my abilities as a teacher, I felt like I had good ideas, and my teammate and I had a good thing going with our back and forth of strategies and ideas.  Now, even after reading the articles, I can't help but think about what I should have done differently in remote learning, hybrid learning, in person learning, and in general.  That Emerging Stronger article put it best -  "One way we can feel stronger is by being able to point to what we learned from this difficult experience."  I want to feel stronger, learn from the rest of you, and come back in the fall ready to hit the ground running.]]> 2021-07-12 17:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646180266 Prediction https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646201633 2021-07-12 17:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646201633 Predictions/Goals ksaranich https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646203972 I predict that this class will provide me with an opportunity to reflect upon my instruction and infuse some new tools into my lessons.  I have never used Padlet so I'm already learning something new.  I love courses where I can learn about new tools and utilize them immediately.  
I am developing plans for a new course that I will teach for the first time in the fall and this course will provide me with the opportunity to infuse new tools into my lesson for that course. ]]> 2021-07-12 17:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1646203972 Prediction & Goals ecannon20 https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1647914541 If there's one thing that we've all learned over the past year and a half, it's that you never know what will happen and change is a constant.  While I think we'd all like to think that our 2021-22 school year will go back to "normal", I think there are many pieces of remote learning that will not go away.  Therefore, as educators, I think we need to be fully prepared with best practices in remote learning moving forward instead of just crossing our fingers and hoping it goes away now.  I believe it will now become another part of our tool box as teachers.  My goal for this class is to evaluate how effective my current remote teaching practices were and to learn any new tips, tools, etc. that will help me to be even more successful if teaching remotely at all in the future.  I'm specifically interested on best practices to teach  our youngest students remotely.]]> 2021-07-13 16:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1647914541 Noreen Hyde: Class Predictions nhyde5 https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1648066305 This class will be valuable in that it is already creating a community of educators who can share ideas, ask each other questions, and learn from our collective experiences.  

As my classmates are saying, I also do not plan to teach remotely full time again anytime soon, but one never knows. . . also, I believe traditional "snow days" will not be used in my district, so inclement weather days will most likely become remote learning days for everyone.

My goals are to learn new strategies for remote learning to have "ready to go," and also simply to strengthen the technological components of traditional, in-person teaching -- for instance, the use of Canvas with classes that meet in person.]]> 2021-07-13 19:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1648066305 Predictions and Intentions https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1649622624 I think that a shift has happened in education due to the pandemic. There are many pieces of remote/hybrid learning that are here to stay, and I predict that this course will be valuable to me because I will be able to connect with other educators in other schools who have gone through similar experiences. We can reflect on the last year and take the best pieces of remote/hybrid learning forward with us. My intentions for my learning in this course include curating new resources that I can bring to my in-person classroom, and considering which pieces of remote learning I want to take forward with me.

My goal is to become more reflective on how much I/we  accomplished during this past, crazy school year and feel good about it.  There were so many days of changing on a dime and dealing with stress, that I never had time to think about it. I just know it was hard.  I want to look back and pat myself and colleagues on the back on how resilient we all were. We all learned so much!

That's a unique opportunity always, but that is especially valuable because New Hampshire took a very local approach to its pandemic response. So, on top of seeing perspective from different grade levels and disciplines, I also will learn a lot about what other remote experiences were and this will help me better contextualize my own. As a prediction to how this prediction will play out, I will say that I already feel that our district managed the pandemic excellently, and I'm thankful I was given the resources to succeed.

And that is probably my goal, to just be reflective and appreciative. I came into this as an experienced online teacher teaching an online summer course for six years already. I'm looking for new language to put to the approaches I have developed naturally, opportunities to share what I have learned, and a useful period of review to make sure my thinking is healthy and a best practice.]]> 2021-07-15 13:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1651198008 Predictions and Goals sarahrichardsweeks https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1651392221 I am hoping to gain best practices and insights for working with reluctant learners. 
My goal is to connect with educators and renew my passion for teaching. This has been a difficult year and a half and I don't feel the satisfaction I once did when I work with students. 
Additionally, I hope to learn about new online platforms and tools. My program had some in person learning this last year and getting the most out of that was the focus. So, I didn't experiment with new platforms like I thought I would. ]]> 2021-07-15 16:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1651392221 Trish Fletcher-Predictions and Goals https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1651405130 My prediction is that this course will give me an education in other technology and new formats to experiment with as well as insight to the experiences of other teachers during remote learning. I also predict that I will be reflecting on how remote learning was for me and my students and how I can make it work better in the future. My goal is to learn new tools and strategies that improve my performance when teaching remotely which will be infrequent but still required on "snow days".

It will allow me to look at best practices and reflect on what I did do well and what I could have improved on. It will give me an opportunity to work with other New Hampshire educators and learn from them.

Goal: My goal in this course is to become a better teacher, especially a better remote teacher. I want to improve my use of technology as it applies to teaching remotely and learn about different tools and resources that are available to science teachers when teaching remotely. I want to learn how I can bring these best practices into my classroom this year to enable my students to use these resources confidently in school and out of school.]]> 2021-07-16 13:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1652663882 My Predictions and Goals dcook95 https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1653360589 Predictions: I believe this course will give me a much better understanding for remote learning to assist me in helping my students succeed. Engagement is one main focus in my classroom and I feel I will learn so much from this course. 

Goals: I am a student centered teacher and am moving into a new grade level and content area. I am hopeful that I will be able to use this course to help prepare me to meet my student's needs with tools so I can look at best practices and ways to reflect on my own methods.
One part in our readings that really stood out to me was: " RESILIENCE:  enables us to thrive, not just survive. It's time we aim for higher than mere survival."
Love that!!!!

The structure of the course models best practice for student engagement in the classroom: varied opportunities throughout the modules for 'voice and choice'. I am excited to be connecting with other educators across the state and feel this is a beautiful outcome from our most challenging last school year.

My goal, through the view of this course both as a student and as an instructional designer, is to come away with new tools, strategies and knowledge to continue to improve my own delivery of professional development to teachers and staff, ultimately maximizing student growth and achievement, no matter where the learning takes place.]]> 2021-07-17 18:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1653441341 Robin Tymula https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1653808114 Predictions & Goals
I predict this course will help me network with more like minded educators and help me focus and refine my practice for remote learning. I am interested in how others use various platforms, especially ones I haven't used that much.
My goal for what I learn in this class is to apply it to developing "at home" science work for students who are not in school for whatever reason. My aim is to limit the amount students are behind when they come back from a suspension or illness.]]> 2021-07-18 18:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1653808114 Elyse Seward https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1653838064 After reading the course outline I predict that this course will be valuable to me because I will gain the insight and prescriptive of what remote learning was like from the other educators in this course. I was working in a school where I did not have the opportunity to connect with many remote educators therefore, I am overly excited to participate, engage, and learn from everyone. 

My goal in this course is to learn new tools that will help students learn through remote learning. There is always more to learn to better yourself as an educator. I also would like to learn how to bring everything I taught and did during remote learning into in person teaching. For instance, I was able to break my students into small groups when I met with them. This will not be possible when we return in the Fall.

The majority of my collaboration for remote learning was within my department, but I am excited to learn about other educators experience and takeaways from remote learning. 

My goal for this course is how to create more online resources that really engage the students, and help them to focus on their learning. I want to help them to be successful in the class and not have their sole focus to be on the grade they earn in the course. Teaching high school math, it can be difficult to "spice it up", but I hope to be able to create more content that is meaningful to them, that can be used in the classroom and during remote learning.

I am looking forward to engaging with other educators through discussion to learn about their experiences. 

My goal for this course is to actively apply my experiences and those of others to developing deeper understandings of best educational practices. I would hope to reflect on my own behavior, mindsets and practices as a remote and hybrid teacher. I am hopeful to learn about other technology tools and resources that will be valuable to use in both physical and digital classrooms.]]> 2021-07-19 03:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/C3S1/wish/1654308545
