It will help us to strengthen communication between departments and within departments and across the district!! WOOHOO!!!!! https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318332 2016-06-23 12:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318332 Sharing is caring... And good for kids https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318335 2016-06-23 12:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318335 it encourages conversations and allows for new people coming into a course to have an idea of the layout https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318345 2016-06-23 12:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318345 Great way to collaborate and share resources, more accessible as internet based, great way to store non-paper based resources. https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318403 2016-06-23 12:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318403 Exploring other units besides my own  is interesting and helpful. I like having an understanding of what other department members are doing, have done, or what I could do as well.  https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318407 2016-06-23 12:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318407 https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318465 Atlas helps us see which assessments are aligned to which standards and helps us see what types of assessments are being used in each course ]]> 2016-06-23 12:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318465 https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318495 Having collaboration with other teachers teaching the same course is priceless!! I love that we'll be able to share all of our materials for each unit & that it will all be organized in the same place]]> 2016-06-23 12:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318495 It would be useful to make time to solidify Step 1 in the Atlas process. How amazing to have this mutual understanding before moving on to later steps in the unit planning process! When Step 1 is done well, our lives are much easier, and our teaching is more effective!  https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318522 2016-06-23 12:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318522 https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318533 I think it would be helpful for PLCs to check in monthly to determine if updates/ adjustments are needed. We have these goals, but we haven't met the students yet so the goals ]]> 2016-06-23 12:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318533 This is especially helpful for special education teachers. We can now understand the big picture and essential questions and modify as necessary for our students. We can also save our modified assessments for others to use. We no longer have to recreate the wheel every year for each student. Atlas makes teaching efficient and effective. https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318577 2016-06-23 12:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318577 Once the units are set up - it will be easy to add resources and activities to share with others.   Since it is web-based, it is accessible from any device or location. https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318591 2016-06-23 12:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318591 New teachers will love this! They will feel so much more comfortable and confident going in using Atlas https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318921 2016-06-23 12:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115318921 Clear timeline for unit completions would  help us organize  https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115319385 2016-06-23 13:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115319385 Support https://padlet.com/saglio76/ELHS2016/wish/115324196 We need multiple people who have admin privileges to be able to manage course and access.
