The work isn’t necessarily hard but figuring out how to use the different websites and when a new assignment has been posted takes a while. I am getting better at this as I go just like my classmates but sometimes I’ll miss some assignments I didn’t realize were due."]]> 2020-05-01 16:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/544411552 Peer-to-Peer Interaction cnnelson2 https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/544413182 "Something I find really special about my school is that we are really focused on student-centered learning. We use a Harkness-style teaching method where all the students and the teacher sit at a round table together and instead of learning through lecturing, we learn from each other. Peer-to-peer interaction is a really pivotal part of education at my school, and it feels like it falls so short in our distance learning. We use Zoom and can see one another and our teacher, but everyone is always muted so as not to interfere with background noise. We only have three or four classes synchronously. I feel like my education is not being fulfilled." ]]> 2020-05-01 16:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/544413182 Motivation & Support cnnelson2 https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/544413974 "Everyday my motivation to do my work decreases and recently all my assignments have been turned in late causing my grades to drop. It has also been very difficult because I’ve had to become my seven-year-old brother’s teacher. My parents aren’t very fluent in English, so they aren’t able to help him with his schoolwork. It’s very challenging to keep up with both his work and my work at the same time."

The wait period is longer than an ordinary classroom, hence students might not feel motivated to answer. This results in less amount of doubt sharing. https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/557224867 2020-05-07 12:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/557224867 https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/557225110 There have to think out of box to key in their answers before anybody else does...hence typing correctly and not in short forms is a challenge]]> 2020-05-07 12:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/557225110 https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/557229088 They miss peer interaction, they need to be given before the class starts to interact with peers to make them comfortable]]> 2020-05-07 12:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/557229088 Students struggle with internet/sharing of laptop or PC with siblings https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/572601823 2020-05-14 13:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cnnelson2/o2jqspmn19zhn01l/wish/572601823 Now i feel students are loosing interest in online classes.
