I have tried using edquire to monitor 18 unruly Y10 students that I teach over zoom.  My experience to date is that it is slow, inaccurate & interrupts teaching time.  I see myself using it more as an 'after lesson' follow up tool.]]> 2018-06-25 20:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268507306 https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268507570 Maths Teacher - I can't see both year groups at once in my mixed year 9 and 10 class.]]> 2018-06-25 20:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268507570 https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268507703 Todd Rangiwhetu (WL)
It's useful evidence after the lesson. ]]> 2018-06-25 20:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268507703 https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268508738 Language Teacher -
It's a very useful tool, I have been checking student's productivity during the lesson. Good evidence when they are out of task. My students know I am checking what they are doing and apparently they are more focus on the lesson. 
The only negative aspect, some of the students are not appeared as connected. ]]> 2018-06-25 20:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268508738 https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268509043 Previously I was able to see every class that was operating... by not seeing the Zoom classes I cannot see what is happening with our students.   With the majority of our seniors on zoom this is a must and should not be the zoom teachers sole responsibility.

Edquire works well in conjunction with zoom but it is a little inconsistent with  what it does. Sometimes you  can see the title of the document they are  working on and other times not. Some students appear not to be registered so their activity can't be monitored.]]> 2018-06-25 21:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268512801 https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268513743 Teacher (US)
I like the information that edQuire gives however some students show as 'absent' despite being logged in to the zoom class.]]> 2018-06-25 21:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268513743 https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/268520646 Some students are shown as absent, however, I can see that they are working on the devices, has the software being correctly loaded onto all student devices?  Teachers bringing classes into the LC, e.g.  must have their own classes added to the LC list so that all students can be monitored. I have checked the device that were not registering on Edquire, the software is not loaded on these devices.

For some it will be a surprise. For those students who are frequently time wasting etc it might not really add much that we didn't already know? Slight concern that 'policing edquire' could become a job in itself...

Zoom
While the issues that can arise with students learning in a virtual classroom remain it is my opinion that Zoom is a great improvement on the older VC units that where in use previously.

I have two Year 10 students who are not registered (Ashley Davis and Kent Wycherley).  I have advised Ed Quire about this but not updated yet.
I don't often use Ed quire during class because I am teaching, discussing or involved with students.
Great to look at the live feed when I can and to see the class report. I share with the class when possible]]> 2018-07-02 23:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_bennett1/ng36qke7oa1e/wish/269201133
