Structuring Synchronous Sessions by Anna Griffith https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7 What are you finding to be best practice in 6-12 PE/Health? en-us 2020-09-29 20:25:24 UTC 2020-10-08 19:47:53 UTC hello@padlet.com Phil Daubel https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796212877 Getting to talk about life stuff and giving them a chance to interact with their peers on normal social stuff. Try to have them interact with a question of the day. Best TV show you have watched lately?

On my questions of the day I can find out how generous they are or thankful for their families. I asked "what would you buy if you won a million dollars?" I was surprised that many would donate the $$ or buy mom or dad something. These class meetings are wonderful since we cannot meet in person.]]> 2020-10-01 19:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796216446 Phil Daubel https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796216765 Have plans in the works for them to apply learning by making poster on activity we are learning. Giving them a lot of creative control over how they do the project. ]]> 2020-10-01 19:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796216765 Phil Daubel https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796219022 So far I have been using this time to try and connect with students that have not engaged yet. ]]> 2020-10-01 19:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796219022 John Hohman https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796234767 I enjoy being able to just interact with our students even if it is limited. Questions of the day are a fun way to get a discussion started. It is allowing us to understand what is going on in their lives. Also, giving the students time to ask questions through chat (privately) allows us to answer questions which most students have but maybe aren't willing to express it in front of everyone.]]> 2020-10-01 20:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796234767 Donnie Lindgren https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796245171 I use my office hours to re-take attendance and read emails that students send regarding missing assignments. Sometimes I will email or call students who still have not signed into google classroom but have not been successful.]]> 2020-10-01 20:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796245171 John Hohman https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796249485 I think you should try to be available to the student and parent as possible. Doing this I think I have been able to answer their questions and concerns and it eases the anxiety we are all feeling.]]> 2020-10-01 20:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796249485 Donnie Lindgren https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796250060 I have not used small group instruction yet but may try and do some type of breakout rooms in the future.]]> 2020-10-01 20:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796250060 John Hohman https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796270416 I tried it and failed, so I asked the next class if they had been in a class with breakout rooms/small groups and had them tell me why it was successful or why it wasn't. Their suggestions are what I will use the next time.]]> 2020-10-01 20:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796270416 I enjoy spending the extra zoom time getting to know the students kwhittall https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796388166 2020-10-01 21:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796388166 Have not tried a break out room yet kwhittall https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796390034 2020-10-01 21:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796390034 Try to be available at all times kwhittall https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796390439 2020-10-01 21:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/796390439 mthompson363 https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/801634831 I really like the idea of using a form as a mode for students to check in at the beginning of class so I am planning on using that next week. We usually go through announcements that have been posted and reminders. Then, we discuss the previous lesson and I usually have some discussion questions or something built into each lesson to go over the next day.  Lastly, we go through the lesson and what they will be doing asynchronously. ]]> 2020-10-05 02:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/801634831 mthompson363 https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/801644541 I have some upcoming lessons that I would like to use breakout sessions with, but I need to work through how to set them up on google meet.]]> 2020-10-05 02:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/801644541 mthompson363 https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/801647071 I have office hours and try to stick to them but if I am at home in the evenings working and a student asks me a question then I will help them out. If they send me something and I happen to see it but it's not pressing I will get back in touch with them the next day. ]]> 2020-10-05 02:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/801647071 I have not done a breakout room and honestly, am a little scared. I struggle with some technology and I do not want to look like a fool with middle school kids. https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804459959 2020-10-05 19:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804459959 I do like to interact with the students during the zoom meetings. I ask "ice breaker" questions at the beginning of class and let as many kids answer during 5 minutes that want to. I try not to call on the same students everyday and that way everyone participates throughout the week. https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804464776 2020-10-05 19:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804464776 I think it is important to have set times for teacher/student contact. However, knowing the situation of many families, I will return emails at night. I figure if a student has a question about an assignment that late, I should try and respond. https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804468800 2020-10-05 19:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804468800 Lori Loera https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804784946 I have enjoyed getting to know the students and getting a better understanding of their situations. ]]> 2020-10-05 21:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804784946 Teresa Skinner https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804784997 I enjoy getting to talk to students as they check in and as we go over different lessons.

I also get to know more about their situations.]]> 2020-10-05 21:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804784997 Lori Loera https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804789173 I have not tried a breakout room yet.]]> 2020-10-05 21:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804789173 Teresa Skinner https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804789269 I have not tried a breakout room.]]> 2020-10-05 21:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804789269 Teresa Skinner https://padlet.com/agriffith44/yq5uivijt3bad9p7/wish/804790581 During the week I have office hours open at all times except during scheduled class meeting times for blended learning.
