I like the idea of asking them what comes next, or what should you do next? I am not sure if this will always be the right method to use for all students. Sometimes it can be time dependent or situational. ]]> 2021-05-10 18:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510537446 In 6th grade I know the teachers try to work out with one another when we have tests and essays due so we do not overwhelm students with too much at once. kgeoghan2 https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510538498 2021-05-10 18:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510538498 ZenPen and other apps dpimpinella2 https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510539683 My students often say "I have too many tabs open!" -- I think resources to help them "declutter" even a virtual workspace would be helpful.]]> 2021-05-10 18:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510539683 Routines! https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510542661 Building routines is very important, especially now, so that students know the expectations daily. ]]> 2021-05-10 18:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510542661 Organizing https://padlet.com/kgeoghan2/pttwwih2blhhadu1/wish/1510544582 What they have to do after the task was completed.
