However, it can be more effective if we can introduce, for example, the content vocabulary in form of a game or crossword puzzle. We can also include phenomena and stories to which students can resonate with. https://padlet.com/jkugler3/otnr3byml3pzcvin/wish/1461919339 2021-04-26 23:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jkugler3/otnr3byml3pzcvin/wish/1461919339 Working well https://padlet.com/jkugler3/otnr3byml3pzcvin/wish/1461919485 Lots of teacher engagement in DL especially.
    Teachers collaborating on anything -- supporting a particular student to cross-curricular lessons. Collaboration seems much harder in DL.

    Need support for learners more than one level below grade level in science.

    Faster internet for all
    Many students can not use gizmos or other sites due to low bandwidth or many users at home.

It may sound like a primary school idea, but inviting a parent to share stories in relation to the content might be a good idea for students to be bought in. Field-based research shows that such activities lower the affective barrier of students and thus promote their learning. https://padlet.com/jkugler3/otnr3byml3pzcvin/wish/1461935838 2021-04-26 23:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jkugler3/otnr3byml3pzcvin/wish/1461935838 ffigueroa https://padlet.com/jkugler3/otnr3byml3pzcvin/wish/1461936515 The organization of the Google Drive awesome resources of teachers across the district (for Social Studies) helped tremendously.😃
