@mgolding Yes. That's my main goal with this setup. A decent number of kids definitely utilize it, and I think it helps more than having to wait for me to answer an email. They can just ask their question and move on.

@mgolding This is just my personal experience, but I have been giving tests on Zoom. I wouldn't call it proctoring, though. I put each kid in their own breakout room and stay in the main room unless someone asks for help. I let them keep vid and mic off unless they actually want something.

What do you view as the most important parts of science class that are difficult to translate to online instruction? What ways have you developed to maintain or replace these aspects? What supports do you need? https://t.co/sbJ91ANX6c

@alicekeeler In my school, we offer an Algebra B course that students can take if they were not successful in 8th grade algebra, which builds off of strengths from the original algebra course and helps augment weaknesses.

Found them! They are Balancing Act Puzzles!

#iteachphysics Hivemind! I have used challenge problems on static rotational equilibrium with my students for years that I found online, but I cannot find them for the life of me. It was a mobile where you had to place the numbers 1-10 to balance it. Help!

We're all operating in unprecedented times.

That doesn't mean students should stop learning.

We partnered with Pennsylvania's IUs + @pattanupdates to develop resources schools can use to create + implement Continuity of Education plans.

Hey #iteachphysics folks! Has anyone been in contact with @VernierST about offering Video Analysis and Video Physics free to students during this unprecedented time? It seems like one of the best ways to help students gather complex data from home...

[Morgan Patton @ThatPhysicsLady]

@MCDphysteach Yay! Same! I will share anything I come across and look out for updates!

[Morgan Patton @ThatPhysicsLady]

Hey #iteachphysics folks! I have this student who is obsessed with "balancing" things. I love how he did this without prompting.

I mean, if there are some FH kids who want to form a DnD club, I would be down to advise. For purely academic reasons, of course. 😏 https://t.co/Ld2yOt7yCv

I am getting more excited about learning stations this year, and already have learning stations ready for the first day! https://t.co/TZ1lHkgbSW

[Morgan Patton @ThatPhysicsLady]

I wonder, how do yu intentionally create space for SEL in secondary science class? It sometimes feels like we ignore this in our big kids... https://t.co/Y4hODVFRkE
