@HansaNarang17 Great idea! Sometimes it’s easy to get excited and want to share new things but the ability to edit is crucial for success!

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@lexi_mcphee Yes! Supporting the students might look different but so important nonetheless.

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@PJJarvis This is so true! I feel fortunate to have some students I had last year and I can tell the difference with having that previous relationship established.

@HansaNarang17 I know the feeling of being isolated. Although I have a few other teachers that teacher pe with me, we are in our own separate wing which sometimes feels like our own planet.

@Kirksey_choir I think this is a great idea. I always see the excitement my kids have when they are able to share some of their expertise.

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@lexi_mcphee It is definitely a different experience having a lesson not go as well as you would hope online versus in person.

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@HerrildKelsey It sounds like a great two-for-one! You can build the presence and they start their day with something fun.

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@AmieByelich I think it’s so important to recognize this! It is never easy taking that step, you are setting a great example.

@mshallett11 @OsadchukMitch I can’t agree more with this!

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@MALTDHagel It is interesting to see students I had last year in person compared to having them again virtually this year. I can tell their level of comfort is different online vs in person.

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@MsKaileySevel I think it’s a great idea to keep them in the mix throughout the year to keep that sense of community.

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@mshallett11 I feel like this is even more true during virtual learning. They have the freedom to be distracted and zone out at home.

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

@lexi_mcphee It is nice to see so many options for students to be able to participate. It keeps things exciting for both of us.

“Goal for creating social presence..is to create a level of comfort in which people feel at ease around the instructor and the other participants.” Interesting to see the changes when some of our kids will be in person and some will remain online starting 3/8. #NotADog #643Sp21

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

Some classes I see that more kids have a social presence vs interactions . Just like in a face to face class you can see how differently students interact with the content based on the makeup of the class. #NotADog #643Sp21

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

“meaningful interactions can reduce isolation and anonymity in online classes” I have been trying to give my students opportunity for their voice to be heard in our activities by having them provide options for workouts they like during our Workout Wednesday. #NotADog #643Sp21

With using Google Meet, I didn’t utilize breakout rooms until later in the year and have seen a lot of positive student engagement and expression in those small group sessions compared to whole group. Allowing them to express themselves better. #SPOResearch1 #643Sp21

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

Can relate to Southeastern Virtual School with flexibility of creating courses. No prior online content for our course led to a whole creation of our course this school year. #SPOResearch1 #643Sp21

[kkcmu @karikcmu]

“Open communication is “”a climate wherein which students feel free to express themselves”” more engagement in written responses compared to verbal #SPOResearch1 #643Sp21

@MsKaileySevel I try to pick a few students each week and send them an email based on their response of a fun question I ask during our weekly reflection assignment.
