ParticipantI love the ideas and how you have given specific directions in a very short descriptive sentence! It’s all on one page!
ParticipantThis looks really great! I love the graphics and layout!
ParticipantThis is a reusable spelling/vocabulary list choice board for second graders.

Using the same format for a few weeks will help students experiment with several different activities to keep spelling lists interesting! If it gets boring, it’s easy to change up the activities for the next month/quarter!
ParticipantGood point! This will be especially tough with an assignment or project is “in process.”
ParticipantYes! Getting them familiar with the technology and getting them used to using it on their own and throughout the assignment!
ParticipantI think that my challenge will similar to a regular education classroom – there are so many different students with such diverse plans. Keeping track of it and making sure that all of the students are getting what they need is tricky. And the worst is when you miss something. Then, a kiddo is not getting what they need and are entitled to!
ParticipantGoodness, I hope that teachers are not unwilling … I really hope that it is a situation where the teacher doesn’t have the tools, the knowledge, the time. I hate to think of the possibility that a teacher lacks the desire to help a kid!
ParticipantThat’s a really good point about a smile! It crosses all languages, helps calm situations, and makes others smile too!
ParticipantThe biggest trend that I am seeing with students is their complete disinterest in reading. They do not see the value or joy in reading a book or reading for knowledge. They also lack the stamina to tackle long text.
A success is that I do see students with an improved awareness for finding credible resources. As students get more experience with AI, they are more critical of the information that they are consuming.
ParticipantIf you have many roles, have people in person read most of the roles (leaving only a few roles unread) and video that reading. Then assign 3 kids to a chat room with those roles assigned. They will read their roles along with the video. Then, they can listen to most of the roles being read, be responsible for only their role, and work in a small/manageable group.
ParticipantDefinitely pictures! It would be cool to have students draw their predictions and share before the experiment!
ParticipantHelp me make a flower dissection virtual!
ParticipantDuring huddle times in middle school and high school homerooms, students know that we are going to talk! I let them know that the expectation is that I hear from you, and they get to choose when they engage. We sometimes use a social emotional learning curriculum, we sometimes talk about world events, we sometimes do “would you rather cards.” Those safe and casual conversations are the way that I help everyone in our classroom (physical or virtual) connect!
ParticipantCasual conversations are super important! I like to have those as students arrive for virtual class early or want to stay late.
Another thing is to embrace the random things that come up while in virtual class. My dog pops in or you have a new haircut!I like to play “specifically random thing” that you like, dislike, that happened to you! It leads to students really getting to know people more than just “I like dogs.”
I really agree with what Caleb said – just be genuine and listen!
