My distance learners couldn't make 3D models in person, so they got to choose their method at home. Some chose to make them out of Minecraft. Very cool stuff they are creating.

@StormMrC @jchristie23 Jealous! Fun way to create DNA! Hoping my future students can do awesome stuff like this!

@CaitlinL924 But if we do 5 days- my wish is that teachers are utilizing the 5th day for awesome activities & projects that are different from traditional school that is rewarding for both the teacher and students! Especially, if we can design projects that could last a semester long!

[Matthew Allison @MatthewScsu22]

@CaitlinL924 As much as I wished we could go to 4 day school week and the 5th day is for online school/ and to work on projects. It could bring challenges for families. On the other hand, by having an extra day and more time I could see teachers making some new and innovative activities

@avang075 @000Dave That is a very interesting topic that I too would like to explore! It could be a really awesome source to foster deeper learning! My question is what grade levels would it best suit?

What are pros and cons of Digital Content? How can we improve it within our class, and distance learning? #IM421

What does Digital Content mean to you and how does it influence your goals as a teacher? #IM421

[Matthew Allison @MatthewScsu22]

@avang075 problem-solving! There will be many times they will have questions. My hope is distance learning teaches students to try to solve it on their own before asking for help!

[Matthew Allison @MatthewScsu22]

@beckius_megan Something that I want my students to gain is basic life skills, and skills that they can use in the real world. I also want students to gain modern skills (like using technology because it is part of our everyday lives)

[Matthew Allison @MatthewScsu22]

@warda__mahmoud Totally agree! We need to go beyond just basic school skills... we want our students to be prepared for the future!

[Matthew Allison @MatthewScsu22]

For instance, we must ask ourselves just because we have students engage with the discussion or group conversation. Did it really create a learning experience that enhances learning outcomes and empowers students to learn? In some cases yes, however, how about the other cases?

[Matthew Allison @MatthewScsu22]

Does engagement (always) equal deep learning outcomes? Short answer... NO!

Although, engagement is crucial... We must not forget it is only super useful when we can empower students.

Too often educators mistake engagement for empowerment. How can you empower students? #IM515

[Jeremy Christie @jchristie23]

@MatthewScsu22 As a teacher new tools are thrown at us all the time. We need to decide which ones enhance our lessons and which ones are just fluff. Ss are good w consistency. Choose the tools that work for your class to empower your students.

Through distance learning what new skills are students learning and how can we use it to empower students? #IM421 #IM514 @000Dave @jchristie23 @TeacherThomasMN

[Matthew Allison @MatthewScsu22]

@KunstCarissa This question gives me mixed feelings (in a good way!). In some cases, this is really hard to answer because there are SO MUCH tools out there for us to explore! But in other ways, the easiest way to answer is tools should reflect our classroom goals and student needs!
