A5: I think we can continue caring for ourselves long term by setting limits for ourselves. Balance is the key. Work, play, family, friends, rest, physical activity, sweets, veggies etc. The extremes are where are not relaxed. #learnbpschat
A4: We can encourage self care by just checking in with students and coworkers. Seeing faces and hearing voices is a great start. It can help get us out of our daily funks at home. #learnbpschat
A3: I am challenging myself professionally by setting goals each day and really pealing back the layers and asking what is the most import parts and topics of teaching my content area. Personally I am intentionally trying to eat healthier because this is a marathon #learnbpschat
A2: I am taking care of myself during this time by setting boundaries or limits when I need to put my work down and spend time for myself or with my family. #learnbpschat
A1: It is import for teachers to take care of themselves because they are in the spot light and often are trusted adults. Many eyes are on them not only by what they say but by what they do. Self care helps so you can be your best for them.#learnbpschat
A4: I have found useful during this have been: Desmos( for graphing things online), google sheets(for sharing an organized doc of links used in math), and the Best being the google plug in https://t.co/AYZUfifyOh (for creating math questions in forms #learnbpschat
A3: This will make us better teachers in the long run by doing 2 things. First causing us to see what is essential and effect in the online learning environment.Second by giving Us a deep appreciation of the face time we have with kids in the classroom. #learnbpschat
A4: I didn’t like reading in school. I found it hard to find things I liked to read. Articles where better. But I find like the monologue of a presentation I preferred sharing my thoughts from reading in a discussion. #learnbpschat
A1: Students first need to be engaged by you calling their name and expecting them to contribute there thoughts in some form. But the real change is getting them excited about the reading. I personally like creating visuals.
A2: I promote voice and choice most of the time by having students create posters that represent their ideas. But this discussion is challenging what I offer.
A3: My students do not promote what we read in class well. We are currently reading about A.I. And I know that the students have carried their conversations outside of the classroom.
A6: Flipgram is something that was used ina class I had before and it changed/increased the connection I felt I had with others taking the online course. #learnbpschat
A4: I think encouraging students to participate in online discussions starts with the relationships we build with them. Somehow students interaction to the online environment needs to be recognized or affirmed. #learnbpschat
A4: I think I would use a form of interview. Have them in interact with me live in an online chat and have them demonstrate these skills somehow. #learnbpschat
