I bet that makes every one of them feel so special. 00:38:02 Sarah Benoit: Welcome back everyone. 00:38:08 Angie Flynn-McIver: Erin, what a great idea.

I was always wondering why I was so tired after teaching on zoom! 00:47:42 Amanda Savage: Zoom fatigue is REAL. 00:47:45 Sarah Montgomery: OH NO! It 00:47:45 Adam Bulava: That point sounds like how we operate on Facebook and Social Media 00:47:49 Genna Harris: Amanda - it is so true. 00:47:49 Leslie: The big one I hear is that school should be at school and not at home 00:48:01 Sarah Montgomery: OH no ! then it is just as bad as email! 00:48:50 Pixel 3 XL: School can be anywhere. We have to reframe how we think about how and what we teach. I am excited about what this webinar will reveal and resource us with. 00:49:06 Kathy Hollacher: I feel like I am 'acting' more on Google Meets and it is tiring. 00:49:17 Ashley G: YES, @Pixel 3 XL! 00:49:18 Genna Harris: Kathy, I can totally relate to that. 00:49:42 Pixel 3 XL: I couldn't change my name. it's Carolyn. 00:50:00 Sara: acting/performing for sure! 00:50:09 Pixel 3 XL: it's frustrating indeed. 00:50:23 Erin Dodge: YES! I speak so loudly and gesture a lot! 00:50:46 Genna Harris: Erin - it’s like you’re overcompensating in a way because of the lack of human unperson connection. 00:50:50 Pixel 3 XL: have you ever seen a VIPKIDS video? that's kind of what we have to do. 00:50:52 Genna Harris: At least, that’s how I feel. 00:50:57 Leslie: I speak loudly and gesture a lot in person. 00:51:20 Erin Dodge: Lol, I do too Leslie. But even more so on Zoom! 00:51:30 Tondra Carter: I'am going to check their videos out. 00:51:36 latosha.sligh: Getting used to the work is a must! 00:51:45 Sarah Benoit: Erin and Leslie - me too : ) 00:51:48 Leslie: What is VIP kids? 00:51:52 Kathy Hollacher: I do too, Leslie. I think I usually feed off the energy of the kids. With virtual, I don't get that. 00:51:58 Pixel 3 XL: they are geared towards younger grades but the concept can be used. 00:52:07 Diane Rocha: Not me, I think it's because I am sitting when on Zoom or Google meet. So I am less animated. which translates to less passion... 00:52:11 Ilka O'Donovan: Exactly, Kathy!!! 00:52:11 M. Chaloupka: How do we connect at the beginning of the year when we haven't met these kids ever? 00:52:31 Carolee Sopicki: I miss the full interaction with the kids. 00:52:33 Diana Smith: Yes, I feel like I'm the newscaster on the evening news. 00:52:37 Leslie: I am an introvert, but a very extroverted teacher. I love to be alone. 00:52:40 Genna Harris: Diana, that’s a good way to put it. 00:52:55 Ashley G: Yes, @Leslie! 00:53:15 Pixel 3 XL: I am an extroverted introvert. I totally understand. 00:53:24 Pixel 3 XL: Leslie yes! 00:53:36 Pixel 3 XL: but I love my kiddos too. 00:53:40 Diana Smith: Yes, Leslie I agree with you. 00:53:46 Shantrez Taylor: I like how Angie puts that, makes a lot of sense 00:53:57 Sarah Montgomery: Extrovert - I'm dying 00:54:05 Melissa Winterland: Same here Sarah! 00:54:05 Leslie: It is like non verbal vs verbal communication. 00:54:20 Pixel 3 XL: sometimes it's good to be quieter. and calmer. 00:54:32 Sara: I agree with Leslie! Extroverted as a teacher, but introverted as a whole person. Need the energy from the kids to have the energy to be with the kids. LOL! 00:54:41 Leslie: We don't get the non verbal feedback we need to make sure the kids are with us 00:54:42 Kelsey Darby: I'm the same, Sara 00:54:45 Michelle Moore: What if you naturally hang at a 9... :-l (I'm guessing the answer is to dial it down to an 8... :D 00:54:49 Ashley G: One thing that helped with a few of my classes… my co-teacher! We were Johnny and Ed… Conan and Andy. :) 00:54:58 Genna Harris: Ashley - I’ll take some of your energy, please! :) Haha 00:55:04 Brandy Clements: What if we were an extrovert for 40 years but are now an introvert due to the pandemic?! 00:55:11 Ashley G: Yes @Sara! 00:55:15 Pixel 3 XL: streamline the message 00:55:29 Sarah Benoit: Some of you sound like "ambiverts." 00:55:48 Pixel 3 XL: it's not a sprint. this is a marathon. 00:56:02 Sarah Benoit: Yes Carolyn, for sure. 00:56:06 Ashley G: @Genna, I couldn’t do it in my single classes, especially since my 9th graders were allowed to turn off their cameras! 00:56:16 Pixel 3 XL: but we have to learn to navigate and work in sprint like time frames. 00:56:18 Angela Navarro: More like an Iron Man!! 00:56:20 Diana: Yes, when they turn off their cameras it's hard to connect! 00:56:33 Pixel 3 XL: we cannot teach the same way or the same content 00:56:43 Josefina Garcia: @Sara, Yes! extroverts with students, introvert with others 00:57:01 Pixel 3 XL: I mean we have to pick the most essential points and questions to cover. 00:57:14 Adam Bulava: Our school is requiring cameras on to be counted for attendance 00:57:17 Jocelyn Kilpatrick: Can you do that in Zoom? 00:57:23 Diana Smith: Yes! Angie I like that idea! 00:57:24 Jocelyn Kilpatrick: Ty! 00:57:33 Alyson Hobbs: I used a sticky note over my picture to lesson distraction. 00:57:33 Michelle Moore: Turning off the camera also facilitates more cross-talk among the kids because they feel like you aren't watching (for a little SEL boost) 00:57:39 Ilka O'Donovan: I'm the same way, Josefina. 00:57:40 Kathy Hollacher: Possible in Google Meets? 00:58:23 Sibyl Sawtelle: I do that too. Dancing. 00:58:25 Adam Bulava: Almost ALL video conferencing platforms can turn off cameras 00:58:39 Pixel 3 XL: I'm working on remaking a spare room or corner into my teaching space. 00:58:41 Leslie: I have a high dining room table so I can sit and stand. It helps to be able to change it up 00:58:41 Ben: I have been standing for the last few years because of back issues. It has made me a better teacher both online and in the classroom. My energy is better. 00:58:48 Genna Harris: Leslie - that sounds ideal. 00:58:51 Sara: Never thought of standing! Will be better for my back too. Way too much sitting this Spring! 00:58:57 Pixel 3 XL: love that Leslie! 00:59:09 Tondra Carter: If using camera on computer, does computer need to placed on top of something? 00:59:10 Ashley G: I’m hoping they’re going to let us science teachers come in to teach, if we choose… I need to stand, use my whiteboards, do demos, etc. 00:59:22 Christine Li: From a slightly different perspective, at times my energy level at the end of the day is low, not necessarily from the "teaching", but more from compassion fatigue. 00:59:36 Angie Flynn-McIver: Tonda, I recommend raising your computer so the camera is at eye level 00:59:45 Sara: I have only a corner in my bedroom-- I put whiteboards on my closet doors! Makes the scene look more school-y and is useful as well. 00:59:51 Tondra Carter: Thanks 00:59:56 Liam: That's me Christine Li. I want to take on all their issues and fix them. 01:00:01 Wendy: That's what I have issues with - looking into the camera 01:00:13 Mr. L.: Sara, I like that idea 01:01:14 Leslie: I did a "check-out" at the end of class. I would go one by one and asked a question about what they were going to do after class or what their next class is." Once they answered I would tell them they could leave the class. 01:01:17 Genna Harris: Wendy - I almost wonder if you could put a little note beside the camera that says LOOK HERE! Because I’m with you, a lot of time I either look at myself or the screen but not the camera! 01:01:32 Genna Harris: Great idea, Leslie. 01:01:39 Sarah Benoit: Leslie, great idea. 01:01:40 Kelly Yeats: That is a good idea! 01:01:44 Wendy: Thanks Genna 01:02:16 Angie Flynn-McIver: M. Chaloupka—your question about engaging when you haven’t met these kids in person is a great one. I loved an idea shared earlier to open the “classroom” early, greet students as they enter, and maybe take time to have one-on-one calls with each student early in the year 01:02:43 Kelsey Darby: I love the idea of opening the meeting/"classroom" early!! :) Thanks for sharing 01:02:48 Samantha's iPhone: will this be available as a recoded session later? 01:02:56 Sarah Benoit: Yes Samantha 01:03:08 Jocelyn Kilpatrick: This sounds like some of the lessons I teach in Drama class! 01:03:08 Ashley G: My face says everything my mouth doesn’t! LOL 01:03:08 Angie Flynn-McIver: Leslie’s idea makes me think about the power of ritual—giving yourself and the students a container for the engagement 01:03:19 Pixel 3 XL: this webinar is really wonderful. thanks for having this for us. 01:03:27 Angie Flynn-McIver: Ashley G—yes! Me too, no poker face 01:03:41 Josefina Garcia: I agree @ Pixel 3 XL 01:03:42 Angie Flynn-McIver: So glad it is helpful! 01:03:45 Ilka O'Donovan: We've been limited from synchronous lessons. I teach to my camera alone. I think that's what is missing. I don't interact with my students at all except in letters on a screen. :( 01:03:48 Genna Harris: Thanks so much Carolyn! 01:03:52 Layne Long: Same Ashley G 01:03:55 Frankie Moore: Wondering if folks are thinking about training with these same ideasour studetnd 01:04:10 Emily Paige: With masks during in-person teaching, I worry about the lack of facial expressions and voice range. 01:04:14 Vandolyn Smith: Great suggestions 01:04:17 Kathy Hollacher: I also do most of my lessons on video because I can't get students to check in. 01:04:17 Frankie Moore: *training our students 01:04:27 Pixel 3 XL: totally going to have a mini virtual survival session for my kiddos. all 150 of them. ✌️ 01:04:32 Paula: I am thinking of getting a face shield so kids can see my face 01:04:50 Pixel 3 XL: yes Frankie! 01:05:01 Karen Cooke: When recording videos I try to imagine that I am talking to the students in my class and it helps 01:05:07 Kathy Hollacher: Paula, me too. However, I don't know that it is within our guidelines. 01:05:10 Leslie: Paula that is a good idea. I am collecting masks and trying to have fun with it. 01:05:19 Kelly Yeats: Our school discouraged live classes last year during remote instruction, but I believe they are more open to it this year. 01:05:30 Frankie Moore: Not having any idea of how the students are experiencing this was hard 01:05:46 Erin Miller: Hi Paula! Marisa and I purchased some on Amazon last week. We figured a face shield is a must when teaching literacy. 01:05:46 Anne Thibault: We aren't allowed to use face shields because they don't have the same protection 01:06:01 Kim Nefferdorf: I plan to flip my class and video for ALL. Students present in room will see me with a mask, but view me without a mask on video. In person, I plan to use gestures on a bigger scale. 01:06:05 Pixel 3 XL: many of my students and their families experienced Covid19 directly. 01:06:08 Leslie: All of our classes were live. Luckily most of my students came to class because they wanted to socialize with their friends. 01:06:12 Angie Flynn-McIver: Karen Cooke—exactly ! 01:06:22 Ilka O'Donovan: Even with face shield, we are required masks if we are within 6 feet. 01:06:47 Angie Flynn-McIver: Anne, I read that today—have to use mask + shield 01:06:51 Ilka O'Donovan: Good idea, Kim! 01:06:54 Amanda Savage: Transactional Distance Theory in distance education talks about the psychological and communication space to be crossed...a space that could potentially create misunderstanding between the inputs of the instructor and the learner... 01:07:11 Mr. L.: There are see through masks. So people can see a person's mouth. Has anyone tried one of these? 01:07:15 Kimberley: While pre-recording materials I put a picture of kids' faces right above my camera for me to look at/communicate toward 01:07:22 Angie Flynn-McIver: Amanda, that’s right on. This is partly what Vivian what addressing— 01:07:22 Breanna: Gesturing will also be super important!! 01:07:26 Kim Saalfrank: face shields 01:07:28 Diana: anyone have ideas about how to encourage students to be on video? 01:07:28 Wibke Klapetzky: I have tried the clear masks and I LOVE them! 01:07:34 Leslie: Maybe have masks and use a face shield when up front teaching? 01:07:36 Pixel 3 XL: Mr L I ordered a few different types. 01:07:38 Dad’s iPhone: I am looking for cute masks! I was thinking about a face shield?! This is Beth 01:08:05 Pixel 3 XL: have to make sure we take into account our hearing impaired students. 01:08:05 Ilka O'Donovan: Do the clear masks fog? 01:08:19 Samantha's iPhone: I was worried about the fog 01:08:19 Paula: what are clear masks made of? 01:08:36 Savannah Parks: I've tried mine and it did fog. 01:08:43 Kim Saalfrank: you can get face shields with character themes I have owls on mine 01:08:45 Frankie Moore: Everyone need to learn to breath through their noses while wearing a mask. It keeps you calmer and the cooler 01:08:50 Leslie: You can use a drop of dish soap or shaving cream and rub into your glasses or the shield and that helps with fog 01:09:07 Laura Cuchra: Anyone try the rain-x to stop the clear masks from fogging up 01:09:13 Dad’s iPhone: Kim where did you get owl ones?! 01:09:51 Ilka O'Donovan: I've already taken three pages of notes. Thank you all! 01:09:57 Liam: Amazon has the mask with clear panels so you can see the lips 01:10:05 Michelle VIgil : I did not have the right time zone on my calendar so I have missed the first hour! Is there any way that we will get a recording of this for later viewing?? 01:10:08 Diana: I'm not sure if my question was buried, but I wanted to ask how to encourage students to use video instead of just audio. 01:10:15 Angie Flynn-McIver: yes, Diana! don’t worry! 01:10:15 Staci Ahrens: I don't know what is going to be discussed in the 2nd half... but, how do we get kids who won't do anything... engage in our classrooms? 01:10:16 Ben: Do you think being in the classroom as opposed to a home office has any advantages for breaking the lie? 01:10:31 Ben: or selling the lie better? 01:10:37 086227: I am leaving to another meeting. I will try to come back 01:10:41 Jessica Mahoney: @Michelle - they said they will be sending out a recording! 01:10:43 Kim Saalfrank: shield pals have face shields with characters and are FDA approved 01:10:49 Pixel 3 XL: Ben the lie? 01:10:53 Sarah Benoit: Ben can you clarify what you mean by breaking the lie? 01:11:12 Michelle VIgil : Thank you! 01:11:38 Michelle Moore: TOPIC REQUEST: Would love to hear strategies for developing relationships with HIGH SCHOOL students through the virtual environment as we start out. HS students are SO reluctant to be vocal when it comes to meeting their peers for the first time even in person. I have a feeling its going to be nonstop crickets when we begin virtual only for the first few weeks. 01:12:09 Genna Harris: Michelle - I think Sarah’s upcoming presentation will address more about how to keep your students engage or at least get them started in engaging! 01:12:11 Diane Rocha: Michelle, I totally agree 01:12:21 Vandolyn Smith: Yes I will teach from the classroom and leave my home for 3 hours daily 01:12:26 Ashley G: Yes, I’m requesting to teach from my science classroom, even though 100% virtual for now. 01:12:31 Satricia Moore: I will be going to the classroom. home is too distracting and I can have all my resources in the classroom 01:12:51 Lori Hilliard: I cannot wait to get back into my classroom. I agree Satricia. 01:13:00 Alyson Hobbs: I think I would actually be sadder and more stiff in the classroom, but that would be individual. 01:13:03 Gina Fountain: We were allowed to teach from our classrooms last year. there was MUCH more engagement from the students on the days we taught from the classroom as opposed to the days we stayed at home. 01:13:12 Genna Harris: Gina, that’s a very interesting observation. 01:13:39 WalkerZ: This is all great! And we probably have learned (last spring) or will see that our students do/understand these concepts even more because of their social time which has gone even more virtual (IG, TikTok, facetime, etc) They understand it, but it's a leap to be in a learning environment. 01:13:39 ddill: yes it is definitely easier to being classroom and hoping my school will let us use or classroom to help student make connects, especially may Special Education students that I teach. 01:13:43 Deanna Lynch: The regularity of the visual is helpful - compartmentalizing the school environment with the teacher - it is less distracting and confusing for students who are more easily distracted or have anxiety. The benefit of being at your home is seeing your teacher as being more human. There are pros and cons for both. 01:13:49 Pixel 3 XL: I was moving to a new classroom after spring break. then the quarantine started. so I don't have a classroom right now. 01:14:05 Staci Ahrens: I loved teaching from school, but eventually, my school closed down and wouldn't let anyone come in... :( 01:14:06 Genna Harris: Interesting thoughts, Deanna. I definitely see the pros and cons, as you said. 01:14:10 Leslie: I just googled Nick Morgan and there are several short videos 01:14:22 Angie Flynn-McIver: He has a blog as well 01:14:26 Pixel 3 XL: and for those of us who were travelling teachers, it's not the location so much that matters. it's the energy, the effort, and the engagement. 01:14:32 Mr. L.: Good point Deanna--agree it is positive and negative by being at home 01:14:37 Angie Flynn-McIver: Great point, Carolyn 01:14:48 Adam Bulava: I had to be at home to supervise my 3rd grader and her education 01:15:11 webinar: what's the best way to encourage younger students to feel comfortable being on camera 01:15:11 Tina Sobo: For those that work in a supplemental setting, any tips for working with students who are already zoomed out before they get to us? 01:15:14 Gina Fountain: I teach K/1. My husband teaches middle school. We both found that our being in the classroom was much better. 01:15:14 Karen Cooke: Yes! Middle school has been hard too 01:15:25 Pixel 3 XL: I have a Google form with a beginning of the year interest and about me survey. that helps me learn about them and allows me to tailor strategies to the whole class. 01:16:23 Genna Harris: Great idea about the Google Form, Carolyn. That also sort of “sets the stage” for online learning/online correspondence. 01:16:38 Leslie: They won't let us record classes 01:16:48 Mr. L.: Pixel I like that idea, I am going to use it 01:17:01 Kelsey Darby: Leslie - are you aloud to screencast and share those videos? 01:17:03 Sherry Larson: We had special virtual spirit days for our elementary students. Example: Stuffed Animal Day, Hat Day etc.. This helped student become more comfortable with sharing their camera knowing there was something else to show. 01:17:18 Keith McDade, he, him. his Asheville, NC: I am wondering if you have thoughts/suggestions/insights/special considerations for teaching simultaneously to half of the students in person and half of the students on-line (thought Zoom) at the same time as one (big) classroom. I am guessing that we balance and shift styles and attention (and focus) regularly to make both groups feel connected, but if you have other ideas to share, that would be great. Thanks. 01:17:28 Ilka O'Donovan: I plan to use hyperdocs to create the modular structure of each lesson. 01:17:43 Genna Harris: Keith - if we don’t get to that ASAP, we can bank it for the Q&A session. 01:17:51 Kelsey Darby: Love HyperDocs Ilka!! :) 01:18:14 Aaron Ellis: Keith, I'm going to have to do that too 01:18:15 Leslie: Yes. I use Screencastify, but only to make short videos to share with students- like I got new baby chickens so I did a little video introducing my "chickee babes" 01:18:29 Kelsey Darby: awww, that's cute - but no content? 01:18:55 Leslie: No content. 01:19:08 Kelsey Darby: boooo 01:19:17 latosha.sligh: When the standards where created, they were most likely designed for in person instruction. 01:19:23 Ashley G: I use HyperSlides instead of HyperDocs… 01:19:27 Savannah Parks: I used screencastify for virtual read alouds and clarifying instructions. 01:19:31 WalkerZ: Project based Teaching and backward design! 01:19:55 Pixel 3 XL: UBD 01:20:24 Sara: I like thinking of it as "on demand" content! 01:20:32 Sara: That seems empowering to the kids, heehee! 01:21:00 Ben: What is the rationale behind not allowing live teaching? 01:21:25 Leslie: We are the opposite we do all live teaching and no recorded 01:21:36 Liam: That's been my summer: learning the basics on as many platforms as possible. 01:21:40 latosha.sligh: What was that last resource given for online classroom? 01:21:47 Kelsey Darby: Ben - I think it's a privacy issue because the kids are on camera, too?? 01:21:48 Ashley G: I also use Screencastify and Pear Deck. 01:21:49 Angie Flynn-McIver: I’m curious about that too, Ben—maybe it has to do with accessibility to internet? 01:21:55 Genna Harris: Pathwright, Latosha 01:22:04 latosha.sligh: Thank you 01:22:08 Ilka O'Donovan: Ben, they didn't want to stress children and families by forcing them into a schedule they couldn't do because of outside demands. I had several students who did all their work starting Saturday. They worked during the week, 01:22:15 Anne Thibault: Ben, at our school we weren't allowed to offer live teaching before the pandemic so that courses would work with people's work schedules, internet accessibility, etc. 01:22:25 Kelly Yeats: I think it has a lot to do with liability. 01:22:26 Genna Harris: We have an online classroom that you can poke around if you want: jbmedia.pathwright.com to see how it looks. 01:22:40 Sherry Larson: Nearpod is great for engagement-similar to Pear Deck 01:23:02 Kathy Hollacher: With the younger students, I feel the need to stick to very few platforms. 01:23:27 Kelsey Darby: EdPuzzle would be great for this! :) 01:23:30 M. Chaloupka: Yes - the parents get frustrated with the technology 01:23:33 Liam: During the spring we had set hours to be available and most teachers held a 30 minute zoom meeting that was optional. 01:23:59 Frankie Moore: Long lectures don't work in person either! 01:24:03 Ashley G: You can record yourself, upload to YouTube, and employ EdPuzzle to add questions! 01:24:07 Kelly Yeats: We had virtual office hours twice a week. 01:24:19 Amanda Savage: If anyone is interested, Small Teaching Online (by Flower Darby) is an excellent resource. Focus is on asynchronous teaching but concepts can be applied to synchronous. 01:24:35 M. Chaloupka: I wish we had done a zoom for parents when distance learning started (I'm elementary)….but we didn't realize it would last until the end of the year. 01:24:38 Angie Flynn-McIver: Thank you Amanda! 01:24:42 Chanelle Jacobson: Padlet, boom cards, jamboard, nearpod, pear deck are all great ways to capture attention and hold students accountable for their work 01:24:53 Genna Harris: Thanks for these great resources, Chanelle! 01:25:41 Ana Marmolejo: I would hold zoom meetings with parents just for help. 01:25:49 Amanda Savage: @Kelly - yes. Standing virtual office hours are key to learners feeling that instructors are accessible. Critical since we loose those informal hallway chats. 01:26:10 Leslie: I had office hours and rarely did anyone use it 01:26:19 Kelly Yeats: Me too! 01:26:31 Kelsey Darby: Yes - they rarely showed up. 01:26:35 Sherry Larson: My school set up lunch bunch hours for informal check-ins. 01:26:45 Kim Saalfrank: but you all made an effort 01:26:49 Carrie Loney: I'm going to call my office hours "hallway chats"! 01:26:56 Amanda Savage: I did a standing virtual breakfast one day a week. 01:26:59 Neela Munoz: Ooo cool! 01:27:00 Liam: 3-7 students per meeting. Never a full class 01:27:04 Angie Flynn-McIver: Carrie, I love that! We really miss those informal chances to talk— 01:27:05 WalkerZ: For kids younger than college. it's not built in their culture. They don't always understand WHY there are office hours. 01:27:15 Kelsey Darby: That's a good idea - give them the reason to show up 01:27:18 Ilka O'Donovan: Carrie, may I steal that? Love it! 01:27:19 Kelly Yeats: I like your idea Amanda! 01:27:20 Leslie: We did D and D one day per week 01:27:25 Carrie Loney: Would you as a student go to something called "office hours?" 01:27:45 Kelsey Darby: Carrie - could we call it something else that is more inviting? 01:27:46 Genna Harris: Carrie - that’s a good point. Might want to make it sound more “fun” for the littler ones. 01:28:05 Satricia Moore: I had office hours as a middle school teacher 01:28:16 Frankie Moore: It's a good place for them to interact with each other away from "class" 01:28:21 Shantrez Taylor: During the school year we called it coach class, so I called it the same thing remotely 01:28:29 Jean Roden: my middle schoolers frequently did join me for office hours. I think mostly for the conversation since they were socially distanced 01:28:32 Carolyn Klaus: Gimkit is great! 01:28:42 Genna Harris: “Coach Class” - that’s nicely stated, Shantrez. 01:28:52 Kim Nefferdorf: I always offer e-hours (electronic hours). Usually 8-9pm at night to respond to questions reguarding HW, or test reviews. 01:28:56 Satricia Moore: I called in check ins in my class 01:28:58 Carolyn Klaus: Yes can definitely have "classroom jobs" virtually too! 01:29:31 Chanelle Jacobson: you can also use google calendar to setup one on ones with students. this is often more inviting to the more shy students who don’t want to engage in a group 01:29:48 Mr. L.: Carolyn, what a great idea! I have to think of some "virtual jobs" 01:29:53 Kelly Yeats: Good point Chanelle! 01:29:58 Lori Hilliard: what other classroom jobs to you give virtually? 01:30:16 Kelsey Darby: One I'm thinking about using is Time Keeper. 01:30:22 Genna Harris: Kelsey, that’s what I was thinking too. 01:30:37 Sarah Mohrhauser: Some LMSs have a way to award badges to gamify the class. You can have a badge for non-academic rewards. 01:30:51 Genna Harris: If you have a chat that’s written and not verbal, someone can help to manage that chat…like a moderator…depending on how big the class size is. 01:31:08 Sara Johnson: We started using Class Dojo and there are so many reasons to give them a point. 01:31:10 corinne kurtz: to what extent should the rewards/recognitions be public? 01:31:23 Kelsey Darby: Moderator - love that! It's helpful when I'm in a Zoom to have someone in charge of reading aloud important comments :) 01:31:27 Carolyn Klaus: Ask the students to come up with job. Helps develop their critical thinking skills. 01:31:33 Ilka O'Donovan: I saw recently how to create time slots on Calendar for students to sign up and join individually. It was easy. 01:31:43 Jennifer: Jobs: time keeper, watching for raised hands, chat watcher to vocalize questions, activity/stretch selector 01:31:43 Frankie Moore: virtual class jobs: Maybe things they can prepare ahead; snack recommendations, lead a brain break, show and tell with themes 01:31:46 Carolyn Klaus: Kids are brilliant and creative. 01:32:02 WalkerZ: Canva is the bomb 01:32:03 Genna Harris: Corinne, I’m not sure. That may be a better question for Sarah to address during the Q&A. My first thought would be to just try and copy what you would do in person, but she may have more thoughts on that. 01:32:23 Satricia Moore: yes love canva 01:32:33 Genna Harris: Corinne, I’ve saved your question for Q&A in case we don’t get to it right at this moment. 01:32:58 Frankie Moore: we have been using loom 01:33:08 Chanelle Jacobson: choice boards are also great for engagement! 01:33:14 Angie Flynn-McIver: Loom is so cool—we have been using it too 01:33:43 Carolyn Klaus: Everything we ask the kiddos to do needs to be mindfully aligned with competencies. Make every thing count. 01:34:31 Carolyn Klaus: This virtual format will lend itself to eliminating a lot of "busy" work. 01:34:31 Kelsey Darby: Does anyone know if Google Classroom has badges, etc built in? (This will be my first time using the platform) 01:34:52 Chanelle Jacobson: @carolyn- exactly! focus on quality of assignments rather than quantity. 01:35:02 Adam Bulava: @Kelsey: It does not 01:35:04 Michelle Moore: Class Dojo is a great tool (I use it at the HS level even though its targeted to the littles) to offer positive reinforcement 01:35:14 Adam Bulava: I use Dojo too 01:35:20 Adam Bulava: as a HS history teacher 01:35:24 Carolyn Klaus: Virtual learning will also lead to individualized learning plans for every single student. SMART goals and action plans for all. 01:35:41 Kathy Hollacher: I love Classroom, but I don't think it has any reward system. Class Dojo is perhaps a better way to award goal behavior. 01:35:48 Natasha Torres: I don't know how to use a breakout room. 01:35:48 Adam Bulava: 10 points/day = 1 Bulava Buck = rewards and priveleges (turning in work late, extra credit, etc) 01:35:49 Tondra Carter: I used Class Dojo for my Kindergarten class. I love it. 01:35:57 Carolyn Klaus: Love that ADAM! 01:36:02 Genna Harris: Natasha - we will place you in a breakout room automatically. 01:36:06 Adam Bulava: every 50 cumulative points = 1 Bulava Buck 01:36:12 Ashley G: I do something similar, @Adam. 01:36:26 Michelle Moore: No badges in Classroom (yet... who knows). Maybe Seesaw??? 01:36:28 Natasha Torres: Genna how do I do that as a teacher? 01:36:31 Carolyn Klaus: I gave out tickets in my classes. Now it will be virtual points. :) 01:36:37 Ilka O'Donovan: In the FB Bitmoji groups, teachers create stickers for rewards. 01:36:39 Genna Harris: Natasha - will you be using Zoom? 01:36:44 Jill: You can find tutorials to create your own badges and use 01:36:52 Jennifer: Classcraft is a great reward site. Students create a character, go through maps created by teachers, and earn gold to spend on more character accessories or super powers for their character 01:36:56 Natasha Torres: Yes Genna 01:36:56 latosha.sligh: What are hyperdocs? 01:36:57 Carolyn Klaus: Bitmoji classrooms I think you can create badges 01:37:19 Adam Bulava: @latosha: documents with links to websites and other things needed for the class 01:37:20 Genna Harris: Natasha - you have to make sure that setting is enabled on your account and then you can follow these steps (Zoom says it better than I ever could): https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206476313-Managing-breakout-rooms 01:37:25 Carolyn Klaus: I relogged into the webinar on my laptop. 01:37:38 Natasha Torres: I think I have it genna 01:38:08 Genna Harris: Natasha, Zoom has a pretty great automated customer service chat feature if you aren’t able to find an answer immediately. 01:38:34 Natasha Torres: Thank you Genna! I'll look into it 01:39:10 Diane Rocha: I left and came back so I don't have a room.. 01:39:15 Carolyn Klaus: How do we see our room? 01:39:18 Natasha Torres: How do I know I'm in a break out room? 01:39:19 Sarah Mohrhauser: Me, too. 01:39:33 Rebecca Strong: I don’t seem to be getting sent to a room - might also be because I left and rejoined. 01:39:35 Jennifer Massey: I do not have a room 01:40:00 Samantha's iPhone: I don’t have a room 01:40:16 Gina Fountain: I don’t have a room 01:43:09 Galaxy S9+: have another pd have to leave early 01:43:36 Genna Harris: No worries, Galaxy. We’re glad you were here for a while. Enjoy your day, and thanks for joining us. 01:51:46 Wendy: Thanks for doing this for us! 01:51:47 Carolyn Klaus: Loved my chat mates! 01:52:11 Genna Harris: I’ve got three questions prior that haven’t been fully answered yet if we want to start with those. 01:52:11 Carolyn Klaus: Carolyn-Klaus@ksd111.org..... keep in touch please! 01:52:16 Alyson Hobbs: This was great! Thank you! 01:52:26 Courtney Wright: Really good ideas! Thank you! 01:52:29 Patricia Ocasio-El: loved my chat mates as well 01:52:33 Carolyn Klaus: fantastic! 01:52:35 Ashley G: HOORAY! 01:52:53 ddill: Do you have any suggestions on how to work with Special Ed students at the high school level but low incidence learners? That are primarily non verbaly unless you pull it out of them. Parents are there during all my live sessions too. 01:53:01 Aaron Ellis: The Chat has been awesome 01:53:07 Genna Harris: Michelle - I have your question from earlier saved: TOPIC REQUEST: Would love to hear strategies for developing relationships with HIGH SCHOOL students through the virtual environment as we start out. HS students are SO reluctant to be vocal when it comes to meeting their peers for the first time even in person. I have a feeling its going to be nonstop crickets when we begin virtual only for the first few weeks. 01:53:10 Sarah Montgomery: Great chat breakout room #33 Sarah Montgomery (science) at smontgomery@radford.edu 01:53:12 Erin Dugan Michaud: This has been very helpful! 01:53:26 Liz Sutherland: The break outs have been fantastic 01:53:26 Staci Ahrens: I don't remember if it was in the original place where we signed up... but are CEUs available for this 2 hour training? 01:53:31 Carolyn Klaus: at ddill….get with your spec ed co teachers... c an you virtually meet with them? 01:53:35 Diana: How can we adapt our virtual lessons for kids who may have focus or attention issues? 01:53:44 Carrie Loney: Got it, Sarah! - Carrie #33 01:53:53 Mitchell: It's great to hear that we are all having the same problems/concerns nationwide. I'm not sure the powers that be can believe that teachers are really okay with all of their plans for us. 01:54:01 Jennifer: https://www.thrively.com/ : Students can take a strength assessment, watch videos and respond to journal entries. Teachers can then go on and respond to individual responses. 01:54:14 Jocelyn Kilpatrick: How do we implement all of these great ideas when kids don't attend classes online? or refuse to watch the videos you post? 01:54:16 Genna Harris: Staci - we do not have accredited certificates available for this training. 01:54:26 Kim Saalfrank: would the break out rooms help with high school kids come out of the shell 01:54:32 Patricia Ocasio-El: breakout room 22 I believe keep in touch: pocasio@vineland.org 01:54:51 Diana: good icebreaker game for teens? 01:54:52 Ashley G: @Jocelyn… Use EdPuzzle to force them to watch the videos. 01:54:52 Rebecca Strong: A recent article I found interesting - could work for HS students: https://www.chronicle.com/article/Turns-Out-You-Can-Build/249038?fbclid=IwAR0Wxdp59fgX3Myxs4Pf2NcBW6_CVUG9NO3Q93G0blp53qk_h6OG6NsMEuU 01:54:54 Robin Shemesh: Use FlipGrid and have students make videos to introduce themselves 01:55:02 Marisa Radau: Breakout room 32. Keep in touch marisae.medrano@gmail.com 01:56:17 Rebecca Strong: On FlipGrid you can also ask students to respond to each other’s videos, which could help if you are using this for get-to-know you intros. 01:56:18 Tondra Carter: I loved the break out rooms! 01:56:25 Liz Sutherland: two truths and a lie 01:56:26 Patricia Ocasio-El: Kahoot is a good game to play with students 01:56:27 Sarah Mohrhauser: You can also send an individual message to a particular student to let them know you’re going to call on them so they can mentally prepare. 01:56:37 Tania: I love Nearpod! and assigning challenge codes on Kahoot. 01:56:43 Diana: love the show and tell idea 01:56:43 Carolyn Klaus: Sarah yes! 01:56:48 Patricia Ocasio-El: both for fun and to review material 01:56:52 Jennifer: https://www.classcraft.com/ : Students create a character and are given "powers" and pets. Teachers create "quests" which link to google classroom assignments. "quests" can use different sections to differentiate paths. Has gold and experience for leveling up to reward students. 01:56:55 Ashley G: You can do 2 Lies and a Truth using video recordings and FlipGrid 01:57:03 Mr. L.: short scavenger hunts are a great short ice breaker. They love it 01:57:06 Liam: I use a lot of Would you Rathers to get conversations going. 01:57:19 Liz Sutherland: never have I ever 01:57:20 Lori D: wait time is brutal but worth the wait 01:57:35 Kirsten Wyatt: This question is geared towards those who supervise extracurricular clubs (ie student council, FFA, etc). Any tips or tricks for activities to make meetings fun? 01:57:49 Ashley G: Virtual escape rooms for team building? 01:58:01 Genna Harris: Our next question from the bank: from Tina Sobo - For those that work in a supplemental setting, any tips for working with students who are already zoomed out before they get to us? 01:58:06 GG Geverdt: Does cold call - no opt out work in virtual environment? 01:58:32 Patricia Ocasio-El: yes a scavenger hunt is great! My kids loved it at the end of last year! 01:58:32 Genna Harris: I think that last question from Tina also relates to a question that was just asked by Kirsten which is - This question is geared towards those who supervise extracurricular clubs (ie student council, FFA, etc). Any tips or tricks for activities to make meetings fun? 01:58:39 Karen Cooke: Genna great question! I teach resource 01:58:52 Teresa Ward: Breakout room 32: Keep in touch. Teresa Ward to.tward@yahoo.com 01:59:27 Carolyn Klaus: Virtual classroom management and expectations will be key. 01:59:31 Jennifer: https://www.jigsawplanet.com/ : Jigsaw puzzles anywhere from 6 pieces to hundreds of pieces. I used it by creating questions as the puzzle, so the jigsaw was just for fun. Ghost mode allows students to see the finished puzzle since the question is what I am after, and the puzzle is just for fun. 01:59:47 corinne kurtz: I’ve never met a teenager who wasn’t endlessly fascinated by the following topics: themselves and what is wrong with school. turn that into a lesson/activity. but you do need to listen to their answers 01:59:55 Erin Miller: I would give some assignments that were student created based on what we were learning. We, myself included, would share by posting on our Google Classroom's stream. My first grade students really enjoyed it and it kept us connected. 02:00:06 Michelle Moore: Corrine - GENIUS 02:00:15 Carrie Loney: Non-engagement is so hard. This virtual reality sometimes is taxing on the kids to the point where they literally can't get themselves to turn on the computer. In those cases, counselors went to their house. 02:00:19 Owner: As a district, we only had a 60% participation rate this last March-June 02:00:19 Liam: Something to keep in mind for those that aren't engaging is this new for them or did they not engage during in person classes last year. 02:00:38 Angie Flynn-McIver: You can also think about embedding “easter eggs” in lessons or videos, encourage the students to collect the clues in each lesson 02:00:47 Carolyn Klaus: You are going to need to work with them more one on one. Set aside a designated time for just them, in addition to the regular classroom time. 02:01:03 Alexa Venezia Dasse: There are websites out there that I believe you need to pay for, but I used one that was offered to me to monitor students when online. If they were using a device from the school, we were able to see their screen live. If they were on another website and off topic, we could close out that tab in their browser and redirect them to their work. 02:01:08 Carolyn Klaus: Angie I love the Easter Egg idea! 02:01:15 Angie Flynn-McIver: I think it could be fun! 02:01:25 Mr. L.: What are some ideas to get children more access to books and literature online in elementary grades? 02:01:28 Diana: yes love the easter egg idea 02:01:30 Liz Sutherland: yes the easter egg idea is great 02:01:32 Carolyn Klaus: I am going to use the Bitmoji classroom and give it a go. 02:01:37 Jennifer: 2 or 3 truths and 1 lie. Collect the responses from a google form, and then paste it into a Kahoot Game. It helps new students get to know their peers, and students who have been together for years test how well they know each other. 02:01:41 Margie: Hi This was awesome today! Can we get a certificate of attendance today? Thank you! 02:01:55 Ashley G: @Mr. L: Gutenberg site? 02:02:06 Natasha Torres: Epic is great for free books 02:02:16 GG Geverdt: https://www.jackboxgames.com/games/ 02:02:18 Kathy Hollacher: We had Go Guardian at our school to monitor students at home. It gives teachers an opportunity to interact with students as they work on projects. 02:02:31 Christine Veach: Some students don't have strong enough wifi to have video on, any suggestions for that situation? 02:02:35 Sarah Montgomery: Also, please consider more internet bandwith is needed for all these video options. 02:02:54 Mitchell: I've encouraged students to use a virtual background. Many of them are embarrassed of what home looks like. 02:02:58 Sarah Montgomery: If you have bad internet less video will help your audio be better. 02:03:00 Mr. L.: props and visual aids have helped in getting students more to focus online 02:03:01 Carolyn Klaus: Christine. some students will need hardcopy material sent to their home. 02:03:25 Carolyn Klaus: Again.... take a look at VIKIDS for teaching ideas.... more so for the energy and creativity. 02:03:27 Samantha's iPhone: using the chat box and and applause buttons allows you to see a no vid student is participating 02:03:49 Christine Veach: Yes we used some hard copies in the spring, then there was the issue of returning, checking, and giving feedback in a timely manner. 02:04:12 Carolyn Klaus: Take the computer outside if it is nice! 02:04:39 Stacey: I have another webinar. Thank you for all of this!! Take care and have a wonderful school year! 02:04:43 Jennifer: Bitmoji's are great. You can also search "Disney Emoji Maker" and make a little face emoji of yourself or your students as reward. 02:04:48 Diana: great ideas! 02:04:49 Genna Harris: Thank you Stacey! 02:04:50 Sarah Montgomery: Yes! Outside if possible for science curriculum it will help 02:04:52 Tondra Carter: Any suggestions for Kindergarten students? 02:05:00 Carolyn Klaus: Christine, I would get admin involved and they should help gain internet access for those families. 02:05:10 corinnemoorefield: Thank you! 02:05:28 Carolyn Klaus: We need to focus on self care for ourselves too. 02:05:38 Ashley G: For science teachers, online lab resources: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18iVSIeOqKjj58xcR8dYJS5rYvzZ4X1UGLWhl3brRzCM/htmlview?usp=drive_web&ouid=109599745464921472575&urp=gmail_link&fbclid=IwAR0ZJzetClCKJfzzWIzAXqfxJ425O1Up0Lm-WiUQVfnmD2FwJQ6UedJ4AVs 02:05:48 Kim Saalfrank: I am also worrying about beginning the year with my kindergarten kiddos 02:05:51 Angie Flynn-McIver: Mitchell, great point. I do recommend that the virtual background for general use not be too distracting. 02:06:03 Diane Rocha: Thank you for all of the ideas and inspiration! Lot's to digest:) 02:06:20 Angie Flynn-McIver: Kim, absolutely. How long is your schooldays? 02:06:21 Carolyn Klaus: Weekly put out a self care survey for the kiddos. I did that 4th quarter. Also they did a Virtual COVID19 time capsule....primary source documentation in the making! 02:06:42 Kim Saalfrank: we are still waiting to find out 02:07:02 Michele: Kinder check out Teacher Toni. She gives some great ideas for younger students. She is on YouTube and TPT 02:07:05 Ashley G: I have another PD… Thanks for everything! 02:07:12 Genna Harris: Thanks Ashley - have a great day! 02:07:20 Kim Saalfrank: thank you 02:07:21 Jamie: Have another class- do I need to wait for any downloads in the chat? 02:07:23 Angie Flynn-McIver: You can also designate cameras-off lessons, that can be a relief/cool change 02:07:39 Genna Harris: Jamie - we’ll send the download of this recording by tomorrow morning 02:07:48 Jamie: Thank you! 02:08:07 Denise Gebhard: as a teacher, I didn't have adequate wifi for this 02:08:13 Carolyn Klaus: No child left behind has never been more true. 02:08:16 Leslie: Need to go. This has been great! 02:08:22 Teresa Ward: I used virtual backgrounds with my personal photos from National Parks to set a theme. 02:08:26 Kelly Yeats: Thanks for all of the great information today! 02:08:41 latosha.sligh: This session was awesome!! 02:08:46 Genna Harris: I am wondering if you have thoughts/suggestions/insights/special considerations for teaching simultaneously to half of the students in person and half of the students on-line (thought Zoom) at the same time as one (big) classroom. I am guessing that we balance and shift styles and attention (and focus) regularly to make both groups feel connected, but if you have other ideas to share, that would be great. Thanks. 02:08:47 Carolyn Klaus: Teresa, I changed my background all the time! Love that. 02:08:50 Genna Harris: That’s the question above 02:09:04 Gina Fountain: I love the way the teaching community has come together to help each other through all this! 02:09:06 Liam: Thank you for all the ideas. 02:09:23 Diana: could the inperson kids talk with the online kids in large or small groups? 02:09:23 Sarah Strittmatter: I wish the original ad for the course had said 1-3 EASTERN. I didn't open my email that said eastern time until I was already an hour late. Sad day. 02:09:40 Samantha's iPhone: can you dedicate the whiteboard to just a huge zoom screen of at home learners? 02:09:41 Mr. L.: Ashley, thanks 02:09:42 Liz Sutherland: thank you, a great PD 02:09:53 Gina Fountain: Yes, Sarah! 😩 02:10:05 Kathy Hollacher: Thank you all for the great ideas and input. I appreciate all of your expertise! 02:10:15 Keith McDade, he, him. his Asheville, NC: Thanks!!! 02:10:20 Mitchell: Use an HDMI cord to hook up your laptop to your promethean board/smart board/etc. 02:10:21 Carolyn Klaus: Love this today! Thank you! 02:10:22 Traci McKinney: Thanks1 02:10:38 ddill: This was a great session. Love all the input from everyone aside from presenters. 02:10:54 Genna Harris: Thank you for being here DDill! 02:11:07 Michael Sheldon: This was so helpful. Wonderful info and ideas. Thanks! 02:11:22 Genna Harris: I hope folks will consider attending our longer training in one week on 7/29. Here’s the link to register for the early bird tickets: https://jbmediagroupllc.com/break-through-registration/ 02:11:23 Angie Flynn-McIver: Make sure your virtual backgrounds have visual depth, otherwise our brains are struggling to make sense of what we’re seeing 02:11:25 Samantha's iPhone: how does a movement piece look? 02:11:29 latosha.sligh: I only ZOOM 2 day per week for social studies/science. This helps to reduce burnout for my students. 02:11:41 Christine Li: It is also great to start off a class and have breaks in the middle with mindfulness exercises. 02:11:44 Angie Flynn-McIver: Great point, Latosha 02:12:07 Tova Rabinowitz: Thank you so much. This has been so informative. I really appreciate all the ideas I got on this webinar. 02:12:16 Angie Flynn-McIver: Thanks for being here, Tova! 02:12:28 WalkerZ: Thanks! 02:13:00 Bethany Tarzwell: Thank you to everyone! Have a great day and praying for all of us this school year! 02:13:01 Carolyn Klaus: Polls are a great idea!!! 02:13:11 Angie Flynn-McIver: Definitely, Bethany! 02:13:13 Ben: Do you use an app for the poll? 02:13:16 Ilka O'Donovan: Mentimeter is great for polls. Visual 02:13:19 Jocelyn Kilpatrick: Sadly, my Zoom membership doesn't have the poll option! 02:13:25 Jennifer: https://www.sounddiscipline.org/downloads/self-regulation-toolkit-cards-pdf-download/ Premade free activities 02:13:25 Samantha's iPhone: peardeck 02:13:54 Mitchell: Thanks for this! 02:14:13 Staci Ahrens: Thanks! Have a great day! 02:14:17 Diana Smith: Thanks! 02:14:33 Jean Roden: I really appreciate you guys and setting this up for us! 02:14:34 Christine Li: I have mindfulness cards for each day of the week that I can share. Also, there are certain exercises that have a different purpose. For example, when kids are coming back from lunch, morning, end of the day, etc. There are 5 exercises that are suggested that I use with my students. 02:14:37 Tondra Carter: Thanks! 02:14:39 Jennifer: Peardeck is a great resource for slides and interactive lessons! 02:14:44 Debbie Johnson: Thanks for having this seminar. As an elementary school counselor I have been very concerned about what ways I can present SEL information to my students. I have gotten so much information and resources today - thanks! 02:14:47 Jocelyn Kilpatrick: I had some great "Aha!" moments today! Thank you! 02:14:50 Sarah Montgomery: This has been the most helpful session! Thanks! Great start help! 02:14:55 rgatson: Thank you for today! 02:15:00 Patricia Ocasio-El: Awesome thank you! 02:15:00 Ilka O'Donovan: Already shared. :) 02:15:01 Angie Flynn-McIver: Thank you all! Glad it has been helpful! 02:15:01 Neela Munoz: mindfulness cards. Wonderful! 02:15:05 Natasha Torres: Thank you! 02:15:07 Genna Harris: Thank you all for being here; we really appreciate it. 02:15:10 Karen Cooke: This was SUPER helpful. I feel like I have a lot more ideas to try! 02:15:13 Diana: Thank you all for this! 02:15:15 Deanna Lynch: THANK YOU!!! 02:15:15 Teresa Ward: Thanks for offering it quickly...our students start Aug. 4, so I'm getting down to the wire! 02:15:16 Satricia Moore: This was a great session thank you 02:15:18 Genna Harris: AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! 02:15:25 Lori D: thank you 02:15:27 Aaron Ellis: Thank you! 02:15:27 Marisa Radau: Thank you so much!!! 02:15:27 Josefina Garcia: Thank you!!! 02:15:28 Patricia Garza: thank you! 02:15:30 Genna Harris: You are all heros! 02:15:30 Carolyn Klaus: Have a great school year! 02:15:32 Kathryn Komar: thank you! 02:15:33 Sherry Larson: Thank you so much! 02:15:34 Genna Harris: *heroes! 02:15:38 Ben: Thanks to everyone.

Thank you everyone. 02:15:56 Jennifer: Thank you! 02:15:56 Genna Harris: Paula - it’s our honor! 02:15:58 Zarifa Jones: Thank you! great information. 02:16:00 Kim Saalfrank: may I unmute 02:16:07 Sarah Montgomery: I was wondering if you have any tips for science teachers? Labs via zoom? Or other ideas 02:17:00 Paula: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18iVSIeOqKjj58xcR8dYJS5rYvzZ4X1UGLWhl3brRzCM/htmlview?usp=drive_web&ouid=109599745464921472575&urp=gmail_link&fbclid=IwAR0ZJzetClCKJfzzWIzAXqfxJ425O1Up0Lm-WiUQVfnmD2FwJQ6UedJ4AVs 02:17:09 Paula: somebody shared this link for science labs 02:17:30 Sarah Montgomery: Thanks I will take a look. 02:17:45 Diana: Could you do a virtual home visit for each family and have the parents and kids show you some favorite things and talk? 02:18:16 Sarah Montgomery: I was thinking about if people sent out junk drawer stuff lists for students to ask their parents if they could temporary use for labs 02:18:30 Zarifa Jones: My son is about to start kindergarten and that is one of my concerns...I like Diana's idea. 02:19:02 Diana: Our school did in person versions of this way back when my kids were in kindergarten and I loved meeting the teacher in the home as a connector 02:19:14 Angie Flynn-McIver: Diana’s idea is great— 02:19:16 Sarah Montgomery: Think potato battery or other types of on house hand labs that kids could maybe find the things around their houses. Anyone try anything like this 02:19:29 Michelle Moore: I'm a parent of a going to be Kinder - I think it is SUPER important to pre-teach the Zoom or Meet tools to the parents and then have them teach them to their students. You can then have them do Simon says the important features (mute/video... etc). My daughter loves being on zoom for bible studies - I think the main thing is gaining control of the environment with mute tools... (OF COURSE this is not an answer to the whole enchilada) 02:20:17 Tondra Carter: That helps! I teach Kindergarten and I'am looking for ideas as well. 02:22:00 Vivian Smith: On stage Lisa winters 02:22:03 Michelle Moore: Also possibly scheduling 5 minute zoom calls with children/parents 1:1 before school starts? 02:22:19 Teresa Ward: Maybe 'All about me' bags? kinda like show and tell 02:22:38 Genna Harris: Cute idea, Teresa! 02:23:00 Sarah Montgomery: We did show and tells in 1996 great ideas! I remember this! 02:23:39 Sarah Montgomery: If you can help them by video schooling out of the class room 02:23:40 Teresa Ward: I plan to use songs with my firsties to help to create community and a more clear indication of transitions. 02:23:41 Zarifa Jones: I agree Victor 02:23:43 Marisa Radau: I love that idea Teresa 02:23:58 Sarah Montgomery: Victor great idea older kids to answer what school is like 02:25:03 Sarah Montgomery: Yes buddies are good! Could you zoom meet your kids or kids and parents 02:25:10 Sarah Benoit: Great idea Victor. 02:25:50 Kim Saalfrank: kimsaalfrank@ccs.k12.nc.us 02:26:49 Tondra Carter: Cartertm@scsk12.org 02:27:20 Zarifa Jones: ...especially your teacher parents. Juggling teaching virtually and trying to make sure our younger kids are getting what they need from their learning. 02:28:15 Tondra Carter: Thank you guys so much!! 02:28:21 Genna Harris: Thank you for your great input Tondra! 02:28:44 Genna Harris: Really hope to see some of you next week. Here’s the info again (scroll down): https://jbmediagroupllc.com/break-through-registration/ 02:29:40 Genna Harris: Thank you all - you are all rockstars and changing lives! 02:29:52 Sarah Benoit: So true! 02:29:53 Sarah Montgomery: Appreciate it!
