Parent communication is absolutely critical!!!]]> 2020-08-19 14:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/687140226 https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/688458218 I appreciated hearing tips on posting office hours on schoology and at the end of every e-mail, to concentrate on power standards, and to when to use video (for teaching content) and live WebEx meetings (for building community, small groups).

I also agree with simplifying and slowing down the content. Smaller chunks, but great depth of knowledge. I also agree with the importance of providing quality feedback being of the greatest importance. ]]> 2020-08-20 12:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/689059258 https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/689125862 Not necessarily surprised, but I felt the article gave a good overview of how to make online learning more conducive for learning. Having multiple children myself, I find it difficult to keep up with the schedules and assignments for my own children when given to me at various times and through various platforms. This article made the point that being consistent and using one platform to deliver information will help parents to not feel overwhelmed. ]]> 2020-08-20 13:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/689125862 davidperry1 https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/689297201 This was a good reminder list of ways to make the most of our face to face time and support the learning during digital learning days.  It was good to hear about setting communication boundaries and ways to create community digitally.  ]]> 2020-08-20 14:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/689297201 https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/689778827 I was surprised to see that the article pointed out that some students are put at a disadvantage when synchronous meetings are required. I wholeheartedly agree with the statement and found in the spring that students seemed to appreciate instruction being available asynchronously. However, our district is requiring us to meet synchronously with each student daily.]]> 2020-08-20 16:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/689778827 https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/690747306 I wasn't surprised by it. I felt it was very informative. One thing that I learned from it was that content needs to be slowed down and focus on just what is the priority to master in order to move on to the next grade. Many times as teachers, we struggle to do that. We want to make sure they have an understanding of every skill.]]> 2020-08-21 01:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/690747306 https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/1339531915 In order for virtual to be successful both students and teachers should have training in how to use the learning platforms. I agree with her suggestions and actually have had discussions with other teachers about how to better launch next year. Fortunately, my second semester went much more smoothly than the first. It's because we implemented some of these strategies. I am happy to see that we were headed in the right direction. ]]> 2021-03-22 18:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tammydurham/vmlks6hn0qgze5wz/wish/1339531915
