I did not quite have time to complete all module 2 posts. Do I need to complete all of them to be credited with completion of the module? https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674705558 2020-08-10 18:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674705558 Zoom https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674779381 Maybe I missed it, but did we cover attendance in Zoom? Is there a specific tool we use or do we have a poll to do it?]]> 2020-08-10 19:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674779381 Meetings in Zoom https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674782466 Good afternoon...doing the checklist right now...for scheduling recurring meetings (class), are we operating under our traditional schedule (with Wednesday starting at 8:15), or is our schedule part of current negotiations?

Just wanted you to know! kbuhrmann https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674782658 2020-08-10 19:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674782658 Writing with Students mbond1 https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674818432 Since whiteboards are out for modeling writing, will my doc cam work, or can I point the new camera to my paper & broadcast  what I'm writing.]]> 2020-08-10 20:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674818432 Assign vs Teach https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674862609 As a parent of an AHS student, I am losing sleep at night fearing that my son will be assigned MOUNTAINS of work all in the name of keeping him "busy". Assigning is not teaching. My hope is that teachers remember that students are juggling 7 classes while also navigating the uncharted waters of distance learning, a global pandemic, poverty, family stress, etc. PLEASE, let's not try to dominate their time. We must be reasonable, compassionate, and understanding. No student should work late into the night on work that has no clear purpose or learning intention. ]]> 2020-08-10 21:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674862609 I just checked Canvas but I don't have a Photography 4 class, how do I add that? leckman https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674877494 2020-08-10 21:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674877494 Contributing to the Collective Mind mhammar https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674882072 Thank you to all of you for your contributions today! I read some extremely thoughtful and creative discussion thread entries today. I encourage all of you to share your ideas and resources with your colleagues as we move forward. ]]> 2020-08-10 21:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/674882072 Zoom participation MsTracyAlexander https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675783828 If it is the case that we cannot record a Zoom session when students are present, we are losing the ability to count their chat responses as participation or even as some types of formative assessments. When Zoom records, it keeps separate files for the video and for the chat. I can see keeping a record of the chat as a way to demonstrate student engagement. Yet if I am not allowed to record, I lose this interaction feature as a means of gauging student learning. So is it the case that under no circumstance can I record the class meeting?

*It's brand, brand new to me, and somehow I ended up with Freshman this year too (I haven't taught a frosh course in 3 yrs), so I'm a little worried I'll be unprepared for the start of the school year.
*Grades are figured in Canvas, should those match Aeries? Is there some easy way to share between both performance reporting programs?
*Also, attendance.  
Take attendance in Canvas & in Aeries? Ok, but do these programs share info? This seems like double work.  
*Why is the disc. pushing Canvas? What are the benefits of integration for a teacher? Students?
*Oh, and finally, all my courses are not listed in Canvas yet.]]> 2020-08-11 16:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675915547 https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675932992 We are losing focus here. The past two days have covered far too much. Teachers need better information than this to teach successfully. We are lacking leadership in many assets during this time. There should be a much larger focus on what the student will be asked of us and how teachers can make this relevant and basic. Forget the "extras" we are used to performing. We are missing the mark pretty badly with these required trainings.

]]> 2020-08-11 16:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675938174 I'm worried about contacting students so they know how to login to classroom or canvas. what if they don't know how to access email? https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675978294 2020-08-11 17:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675978294 Grades for Attendance & Participation mbond1 https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675981300 In the past, Torrin has said it is against board policy to penalize students for attendance.  However, in yesterday's training it was implied that we can now include attendance & participation in student grade. What is the admin. directive on this matter?]]> 2020-08-11 17:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675981300 DL https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/675994032 After 5 months, how is this any different from the spring? I'm embarrassed.

My husband made and used one in the Spring, and none of his students had problems. He teaches all grades, and in the shop. If anyone wants to contact him, let me know and I'll shoot you his email. ]]> 2020-08-11 17:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/676020334 can we get this in a google doc? https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/676057973 2020-08-11 17:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/676057973 ZOOM FYI leckman https://padlet.com/kbuhrmann/zmwiulng6ubw/wish/676212489 You can PIN certain people to fill your screen. Do we feel this may be a creepy stalking thing kids would do? I mean I can pin Mr. Terry and while everyone is talking and sharing screens, I can just have him STUCK on my screen while he picks at his beard.
