@GeorginaLeyvaJ1 @teachsci8 @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @TheCrashCourse R2: Youtube is a wonderful resource! If your school allows it, you can even use Edpuzzle to ask quick questions and pause videos for discussion! #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@teachsci8 @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry A4: I would like to teach high school biology and I think YouTube videos are a good way to engage students in difficult topics. I really like the way @TheCrashCourse breaks down difficult science topics in their videos and also engages viewers. #CSUBTEd @Duncannedd #EDTE4200

Hi everyone! Let's keep the conversation going! Here is question #3. Special thanks to @all_is_number for this question. Don't forget to tag your professor and use the hashtag #CSUBTEd. @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry

@lexxy_mendoza @teachsci8 @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry R1: Kahoot! and other fun learning applications are definitely helping with engagement throughout distance learning. It is a MUST USE. I love the challenge function and the polls you can create through Kahoot! #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@teachsci8 @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry Kahoot is an excellent way to increase engagement. A lot of the time kahoot can gain students to become competitive and have great observation skills. This can enhance their learning and also be really fun! #csubedte4200 #CSUBTEd

@teachsci8 @all_is_number @DrEddiesClass @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @Ststansberry A4: I will use Peardecks to monitor and engage student answers in real time as they work asynchronously or in their zoom groups! I have found great successes with zoom groups by creating family groups and programming them into zoom. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@krysnadyne @Ststansberry @benites_louis @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi R2: Yes! Tutorials are a must and when that doesn't work, old fashioned calling works too! I have talked several families through login processes for Zoom and the like. Communication is key! #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

Thank you @benites_louis for the great question. #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200 @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi

@FatemaBafagih @Ststansberry @benites_louis @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi @Duncannedd R1: I absolutely agree! I have been posting video tutorials, Looms, etc., to try to combat those gaps for parents and students. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@Ststansberry @benites_louis @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi A3: I believe that providing programs that work offline can be a ton of help to those students or families that may not be able to afford internet right now! A barrier I see, is students or families that may not quite understand how to use technology. @Duncannedd #csubedte4200

@Ststansberry @benites_louis @tom_karnes @teachsci8 @DrEddiesClass @brandon_edu @doctor2pi A3: Technology has been made widely available to families in students; however, not all students and parents know how to use it. Students need clear and direct instructions to help them through and parents need the same. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@Kriket01335608 @tom_karnes @aavina33 @DrEddiesClass R2: Yessss!!! The immersive reader is so helpful! Kami also has an immersive reader. My students have found annotating and reading, even longer texts, a breeze! #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

Hey all. Here is tonight's question. Thank you @aavina33 for creating tonight's question. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTEd

@jenniiiferr20 @tom_karnes @aavina33 @DrEddiesClass R1: I love this idea of using Kahoot! as a means for an engaging lesson. With Kahoot!'s new options for poll taking, challenges, etc., I think it would work well for lesson design and not just as a fun quiz! Thank you for sharing. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@tom_karnes @aavina33 A2) I believe Kahoot is great for ELL. There you can make activities that involve the process of learning English or any other language really easy to be honest. It also can make the process really fun since it isn't just on a book. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@tom_karnes @aavina33 A2: Well constructed GoogleSlides and Bitmoji classrooms do wonders at orienting ELs! Because of the engaging designs and ability to hyperlink, ELs can click around a room and discover more about content, educators, and peers! #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@KelseaKnight1 @doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha That is a great point! I think the ability to share our screens and show students exactly how to access the material is a great support. In addition, distance learning is helping to show students how to FAIL forward and that we, teachers, do it too! #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha A1: I can use technology to build relationships by assigning meaningful and engaging assignments. For example, I can utilize PearDecks and Canvas to assign a group project and monitor success in real time, as the PearDecks refresh automatically on Canvas. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@JentriSumrall @doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha @zoom_us @prezi @GetKahoot I totally agree! I did a Kahoot! Challenge with my students so that they could take it asynchronously and the results were amazing! I also love using FlipGrid for introductions and quick discussions. Thank you for sharing! @DrEddiesClass #CSUBTEd

@doctor2pi @ya_mayna @DrEddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry @tom_karnes @Duncannedd @Tech_Buddha A: I think offering info about yourself to allow your students to get to know you is key! Whether in real-time via @zoom_us, using @Prezi, or as a game using a platform like @GetKahoot, all are great ways to enhance relationships during distance learning! @DrEddiesClass #CSUBTed

Hello! I am Ali Kolberg, a graduate student and 9th grade ELA teacher! #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass

@EddiesClass A7) Personally, the first week I practiced mindfulness was an "aha" experience. I wasn't sure it would work but the more we practice, the better we are at it and now all my students enjoy it. #CSUBTEd #EDSE5100

@EddiesClass A5) Tracking is a form of dangerous assumptions made about a student's current and future academic performance/success. It is often biased against lower-income and minority students. #CSUBTEd #EDSE5100

@EddiesClass A4) Practicing empathy and respect with every child is imperative. Being a cheerleader for students who may not have one is also a good place to start. #CSUBTEd #EDSE5100

@EddiesClass A3) I think at least one positive interaction with an adult a day can change a student's perspective. Sometimes they need to know that someone cares, even at a basic level. #CSUBTEd #EDSE5100

@EddiesClass A2) I began my students with a simple mindfulness exercise and have been building on it since the start of the school year. It calms them and brings them into a classroom mindset.

@EddiesClass @MccormackKenya A1) Academic intervention circles - a question for this could even be as simple as "What can I help you with?"

@EddiesClass @MccormackKenya A1) Peacemaking circles are especially useful for giving kids the tools to listen to each other. "What do you hear when he/she says this?"
