Who am I thinking about this semester? by Aris Winger https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d en-us 2022-09-16 16:41:21 UTC 2025-11-15 05:09:06 UTC hello@padlet.com a few students who have missed a LOT of class, considering https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300528468 2022-09-16 20:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300528468 my student with ADHD and also social anxiety (afraid to talk to Professors). Hopefully making a safe connection https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300528937 2022-09-16 20:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300528937 An issue with a student who has expressed to me some special needs, and is now having some issues with the lab instructor. I do have a plan to address this, but I don't know yet how it's going to go. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529071 2022-09-16 20:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529071 Students. Some who I know are struggling with mental health (and those who I don't know about), some who are already falling behind on work, one who might have lied right to my face earlier today (I'm not taking it personally, but it really worries me) https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529234 2022-09-16 20:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529234 Student X who works slowly, so he only finished about half his lab during the time period. During that time I correct his work a lot, and I expect the work that he does on his own will be incorrect or incomplete. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529355 2022-09-16 20:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529355 Students that know about the grading rubric, but don't even try to complete assignment for it. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529416 2022-09-16 20:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529416 One of my most engaged students disappeared this week - no assignment turned in, and not in class. This reminds me that I want to reach out via email and check in. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529504 2022-09-16 20:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529504 The students who are not as vocal in class. I know this doesn't necessarily mean they're not engaged but I want to keep making space for them to actively participate in ways that are comfortable for them https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529665 2022-09-16 20:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529665 AM gondree https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529903 met 1-1, seemed optimistic to work with me, arranged meetings with him on Sat & Sun to help him get caught up, and he cancelled them. no he has stopped coming to class entirely]]> 2022-09-16 20:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529903 When I’m teaching my in-person class, I actually miss having a “chat” feature, which is probably my favorite thing about teaching over Zoom. I tried to do something similar with Padlet (having the Padlet open to one side of my lecture presentation), but it’s not working great, because it doesn’t automatically scroll up when new comments are added. Does anyone know of a tool students could easily access on their phones and laptops that would do this? https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529963 2022-09-16 20:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300529963 On a positive note. I've had more students respond to my check in emails. In the past, students who were falling behind all ignored me, now I'm getting more responses, so we're making progress https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300530238 2022-09-16 20:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300530238 I have a student trying the full time job while being a full time student. He is not doing well :( https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300535593 2022-09-16 20:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300535593 I'm glad we're having this meeting. I had planned on doing a mid-semester feedback form after my first round of exams... I might have forgotten to do it, but this reminded me. Thanks! :D https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300539208 2022-09-16 20:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300539208 Continuing to remind myself that they are all individuals has been a game-changer for me. It helps me be more kind no matter what they are throwing at me. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300541522 2022-09-16 20:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300541522 Coming at this from a different angle, I've been holding my ground when students ask to turn in late things, or do quizzes that have closed. There are options for them to make up those points, but I think they are learning that they need to pay attention to deadlines. I think it's good. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300543732 2022-09-16 20:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/wijje5wu1o13pc1d/wish/2300543732
