@Cassand81862324 @sgthomas1973 Yes I completely agree. Some are just trying to figure out what works best for others. Thank you! #edchat

@tomwhitby Thank you! I will definitely check it out.#edchat t

[Mackenzie Fisette @mack_fisette]

@sgthomas1973 @MadisonGaskins6 Yes we have been working on that. Nothing yet has come out of the conversation besides confusion and miscommunication on what is supposed to be completed. #edchat

[Mackenzie Fisette @mack_fisette]

@sgthomas1973 I think this is really important, as a student right now I think many of my professors are trying to compete with each other. We are constantly asked how others are doing it, and if they are giving too less of work or too much compared to our other professors. #edchat

@mssackstein I think that keeping as normal as a routine that you would normally have is important. Also, making sure your body is tired by the end of the day. I do this through working out and spending time outside in the sun. Hope this helps some. :) #edchat

@ShiftParadigm I would say my coping sauce is going and working out or playing lacrosse in my backyard :) #edchat

Hello my name is Mackenzie and I am an aspiring special education teacher at Siena Heights University. I spend my time coping in quarantine by using the outdoors, the sun and physical activity in between my class times. #edchat

@matthew_t_moore Thanks for hosting #flipclasschat! Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation. It's great to connect with all of you. Take care this week!

@lanier_katiesue We have been talking about the different options however, it is hard to prove that it is completed adding more work to receive the hrs. Some of us are completing online learning with the ts that we have already been assigned. It is just more work on top of our class assignments.

A5: We as education majors are struggling with our observation hour requirements that are needed in the field. It is left to the professors to decide how the students are to finish their hours. Some of our professors are posting videos and some are doing disucssion #flipclasschat

[Mackenzie Fisette @mack_fisette]

@flippingwithjoy I can only imagine how the student teachers are completing their hours. It is crazy to think about, and hopefully next year the Universities will be more prepared and understand how to handle these situations with experience under their belt already. #flipclasschat

[Mackenzie Fisette @mack_fisette]

In order for all our professors to be on the same page, I believe this is something that they need to decide how we complete the hours. Some courses are making us complete what we believe is more than what we would have had to complete if we were in the classroom. #flipclasschat

@lanier_katiesue I have never heard of discord, I am going to look into it to see what it is all about. Thank you! #flipclasschat

A4: Next week comes many different interviews for my courses. We are using zoom however, we are using different chat rooms which we have not done yet. This is fun for us since we are able to look around to use different tools that Zoom allows and offers us. #flipclasschat

[Mackenzie Fisette @mack_fisette]

A3: The new tools that I am looking at adding to my future classroom include fun resources for my students to study and work independently. However, like I mentioned earlier Zoom and ESL Library are also new to me and I plan on adding them into my classroom. #flipclasschat

A2: I have really started becoming familiar with ESL Library which is an online learning site that can be created through a teacher, set up for students to learn grammar and literacy as well as dialogue. #flipclasschat

[Mackenzie Fisette @mack_fisette]

@matthew_t_moore Tell your friend that FaceTime is apple only. However, I think it is available as a app for PC. Haven't heard much about it though. :) #flipclasschat

[Mackenzie Fisette @mack_fisette]

A1: As a student I have been working on using Zoom and Big Blue Button on Canvas as part of our courses with my professors and classmates. I also love FaceTime and this is my main form of communication with my friends and family. #flipclasschat
