Just think how far we've come in only 3 weeks - how much we've achieved and how smooth a transtion it has been. ]]> 2020-04-01 06:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/485855458 Using Seesaw, I have appreciated seeing what other work is set for the children and in some cases it has given me inspiration and ideas for my own subject area. I have also enjoyed being more involved in children's general learning on a daily basis. https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488131821 2020-04-02 06:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488131821 Trying to engage children (families) who haven't shown any involvement - without losing sight of fact that it's all very difficult in different ways for lots of people. https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488144665 2020-04-02 06:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488144665 This is a personal concern - just re the amount of internet data allowance we have each month. With a secondary child & myself using it, we have to be careful! ;-) https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488146006 2020-04-02 06:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488146006 I've enjoyed exploring seesaw further and using/creating/adapting the available activities. https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488147162 2020-04-02 06:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488147162 I think we're pretty awesome and are providing amazing things for our students.

Maybe give a little break during lunch time and after normal working hours so that we can enjoy some time off during the day. Not everything is urgent I guess :) We are doing well so let's enjoy and celebrate that sometimes!

Causing issues with my back, constant screen time causing eye strain etc. Making it difficult to work as effectively as I would normally. https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488321464 2020-04-02 08:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488321464 The amount of free resources it is nice to be able to try new sites. https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488334148 2020-04-02 08:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488334148 On-line faculty meetings. I think it works really well in smaller groups. With everyone together, it's hard to hear people , a question being asked and everyone responding at the same time, not everyone feeling comfortable to speak out, not knowing when to speak, lots of background noise. https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488692569 2020-04-02 11:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/488692569 There are some 'bugs/lags' on seesaw, apost dated 19/03 appeared today...I apologized to parents for the late reply (I keep checking!) https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/489031028 2020-04-02 14:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_l1/sz9l6ki6ikmi/wish/489031028 Similar to posts below.
