@iCoachLindsay A6 - My students are finding their way around Canvas!! Finding the modules and assignments on their own! These poor kids were learning this new platform this year during remote learning. Not an easy feat! HUGE win for me! #remotelearningusf

@LucaCiccolini I use Flipgrid a lot for speaking assessments even before we started with remote learning. It's good practice for the students and work on their confidence (so many don't want to show their faces!) #remotelearningusf

@MrsNelsonPE @ShakeUpLearning @alicekeeler I'll have to check out Shakeuplearning. I have been reading a lot about choice boards as well. #remotelearningusf

@iCoachLindsay A5 - Jamboard @GoogleForEdu - great tool for student collaboration. Pear Deck has also helped with student engagement. I create also some games such as connect for in Google slides. https://t.co/u9OD5c7az9 has a great variety of interactive games. #remotelearningusf

@LucaCiccolini These courses have helped me as well during these times with remote learning. I also know what the students are experiencing on the other side of the screen. #remotelearningusf

@coleary113a I feel the same way! Cannot wait to do some more traditional paper/pencil activities. #remotelearningusf

@iCoachLindsay A4: I already stepped out of my comfort zone this school year and learned so much more about technology. I will continue to use Pear Deck to enhance learning and collaboration amongst the students & see how some other tools can help students with their learning.#remotelearingusf

@KoeppenMaria I still use a lot of paper/pencil in my classroom, games such as Connect 4, Guess Who, other types of board games! And kids love it! #remotelearningusf

[Maria Besten @FrauBesten]

@MissC_113a I agree! Sometimes we get sucked into the idea that if it involves technology it is a good teaching tool. But we need to be critical how it enhances our lesson. #remotelearningusf

@iCoachLindsay Balance: finding the happy medium between online activities and other learning styles for ALL students. Kids need to move. For me personally is being physically active through walking, working in the yard etc. #remotelearningUSF

[Maria Besten @FrauBesten]

@iCoachLindsay @_kayyyyyla Agree! Students in our AVID program are learning about it again and I just went through proper email etiquette with my ESL students. Just like everything it needs to be practiced.

[Maria Besten @FrauBesten]

@kjensen_kris YES! Email etiquette! So many high school students do not know how to address or end a proper email!

@iCoachLindsay A2
Students needs to nurture personal responsibility with global and digital citizenship. Students need to be taught how to respect their digital footprint, recognize and respect diversity, and have a safe and respectful online presence. #remotelearningUSF

[Maria Besten @FrauBesten]

@iCoachLindsay A1 - I want my students to be digital citizens who can apply traditional citizenship practices such as being kind, being respectful and responsible and doing the right thing in the digital age.

@iCoachLindsay Hi! My name is Maria Besten and I teach German as a foreign language in a high school. And my favorite snack is trail mix (but no almonds!)

So extremely proud of my German students. They worked hard and sold 400 Advent Calendars so CLS German Club was able to donate $700.00 to @SecondBridge1. #CLSEngaged #D155inspire #Germanrocks #Deutschmachtspass

German 3 students participating in a cheese tasting. Guess what the names of the Germam/Swiss cheeses are and describe the flavor. #D155inspire #CLSEngaged #DeutschmachtSpass

Perfect weather for a visit to the Christkindlmarkt in Chicago with my German Club students #d155inspire #CLSEngaged
