ParticipantI really enjoy the tic tac toe idea. How could it be formatted to direct student choices more in line with different categories of choices?
ParticipantI like the design of things in a list format
ParticipantThis is for nuclear science. This is just a start. Many ways this could be edited or added to.
ParticipantWho could advocate for these students besides themselves or their parents in this setting? What role does apathy play in self advocation?
ParticipantNick, would you agree that opening up all of those “accommodations” to all students online would be a viable option to making sure that the students that need them will get them? What are your thoughts on this?
Participant1. Respond to the post and answer the following question: What is, or what do you think will be your biggest challenge when it comes to supporting ELL, IEP, and 504 learners in your online classroom?
I feel often times it is easier to “see” a person’s disability in person. For me the challenge will be recognizing things in a virtual setting without being in person to visually and auditorily take in information about that student.
ParticipantI have tried pairing those high achieving students with lower ones but the lower ones are also very lacking in effort and so end up just sponging off the higher ones.
ParticipantI frequently talk with my students trying to get them to teach me their “language”. I try to make them tell me what a formal meaning would look like if they were writing it on a job application etc…
ParticipantWhat trends are you seeing with your students?
Students are so quick to want to use technology to find the easy way out to accomplish their schoolwork. They want to quickly cheat on the schoolwork so they can get back to the need to be entertained that has been engrained in them from their use of the internet.
What recurring successes or struggles do you see?
I see ELL students using google translate as a valuable tool to help communicate. I see great struggles in student’s ability to think or even to want to engage in thought. It is not what they are used to because the cell phone/ Internet is easier and has rotted their brains!
ParticipantMaybe the “slips of paper” could be delivered electronically and students could work collaboratively as they check their e mail.
Participantdesign a memory matching game to use online so students can learn and play.
ParticipantHelp Make this In-Person Activity Virtual
We do a lab on conservation of energy using a “roller coaster” track and ball bearings. Because of the lab equipment this is an activity that is best done in person.
ParticipantMegan, you sound like a really amazing teacher! Your students are lucky to have you!!
ParticipantI teach high school science. We sometimes ask students to share about their weekends on Monday morning or share about their weekend plans on Fridays. We also sing Happy Birthday to students and discuss birthday plans with them. We spend a good amount of time each week discussing real life stuff with students to encourage participation on their level. They are then more willing to participate on our level.
ParticipantKim, exactly how does the “would you rather activity” work? That sounds like it would be a good way for kids to share their ideas and personalities in a group setting.
