A7: Open learning is something that is open to all learners where as distance learning is something that a particular LMS is apart of and more structure. They both have elements of online learning. #EDCI339

[Dr. Verena Roberts @verenanz]

Last Question.... Q7: What are the similarities and differences between open learning and distance learning? #EDCI339

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A6: Access to technology and internet is a huge barrier for many learners that excludes them from open and online learning spaces #EDCI339

[Dr. Verena Roberts @verenanz]

Q6: Who is included and who is excluded when learning is open? In what ways are learners excluded? #EDCI339

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A4: I think it depends on the age of the learner. As an elementary teacher my 1st response is to avoid it. If I did use it with my students they would let students create their name and avatars. Also have alternate activities available. #EDCI339

[Dr. Verena Roberts @verenanz]

Q4: What are some strategies that you can use to protect privacy, consider cultural awareness & ensure safe learning spaces when using social media 2learn? #EDCI339

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A3: The biggest disadvantage to open learning that I see is that it can be a bit too open for some learners and they may not find that out until they are enrolled in that course. It may be too chaotic for some. #EDCI339

[Dr. Verena Roberts @verenanz]

Q3: From an #EDCI339 perspective, what do you see as the greatest risks or disadvantages when considering OPEN learning?

I’m having so much fun documenting my own #Learningathome this week. I’m playing with #technology making time lapse videos for the Ss for next week. Growing green onions! #planting #InquiryMindset #modeling Thanks to everyone who sent tips on how to grow at home! #EarthDay2020

Check out my new blog post about the Cyberbullying lesson I adapted from https://t.co/jDPSuSQ424 https://t.co/cbURq8tpPN #edci338 #upstander

A8: I was looking at this today and I'm so thankful for it. I have been overwhelmed by all of the resources that I've been sent over the past few weeks. This doc puts all of them in one place. THANK YOU!! #bcedchat #edci338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q8: Two weeks ago, the #bcedchat community created this document to help us make sense of remote teaching. Has this been helpful? What other areas should we consider? You are welcome to contribute! https://t.co/4Ynxb1hmaj

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A7: We'll be focusing on communication, feelings-talking about them & expressing them, social responsibility, and kindness-how can we help others out in this time? #bcedchat #edci338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q7: One Giant Leap: What might be the top priority curricular or core competencies you want as your major focus in this remote learning environment? #bcedchat

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A6: My Ss need emotional supports as they work through the realities of this. I think the novelty of not being in class will start to wear off and the reality might hit pretty hard. As for me I think I just need the continued support of family, friends, & staff #bcedchat #edci338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q6: Three Small Steps: What type of supports will your students or yourself need next week? #bcedchat

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A5: By the end of the week I'm going to need support, sleep, and maybe a new brain? #bcedchat #edci338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q5: Two Small Steps: What do you think you’ll need by the end of this week? #bcedchat

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A4: My focus at the beginning of the week will be to reach out to families to get weekly video/phone conversations set up. My goal is to try and video chat weekly with students and families. If video is not an option then it will be by phone. #bcedchat #edci338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q4: One Small Step: What will be your focus at the beginning of the week with students and families? #bcedchat

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A3: My hopes are that we get to connect better, or at least differently, with our students. I fear that we won't be able to reach all of our students especially our most vulnerable. #bcedchat #EDCI338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q3: What are your hopes, dreams and fears for students and educators in a world of remote teaching? #bcedchat

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

@CraigMah I'm hoping that hearing from all these educators I will get some direction.

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

A1: I'm feeling a 2 #bcedchat #edci338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q1: How are you feeling about the upcoming week? On a scale of 1-4, (1=Very caution; 4=very confident) #bcedchat

[Ms. Swan @MsSwan63]

Q2: I will be using Google Meet to video chat with each student this week. It's so important to make have a "face-to-face" conversation and connection with the students. I will be using Google Classroom a lot. #bcedchat #edci338

[Craig Mah @CraigMah]

Q2: How will you be remotely connecting with students this week? What tools or resources have you planned to use? Share! #bcedchat
