@Larryferlazzo Synchronous saves students! Leverage tech & resources to keep all students as close to pace and task as possible by keeping everyone along for the ride. DO NOT overexert yourself doing 1 lesson for live students and a separate lesson for remote. Hold both respectively accountable
Instead of using the words “remote” or “distance learning,” what if we used other words like “connected learning” or “collective learning,” and then designed learning experiences to match those words?
Here’s my advice as a tech coach:
Stop. Trying. All. The. Things.
And if anyone makes you feel otherwise, stop taking advice from them.
Focus on pedagogy and the student experience.
The tools are going to change tomorrow. Good pedagogy won’t.
@STEMinistDee Synchronous lessons with screen sharing for remote Ss. Engage with online resources and materials. Don't beat yourself up if you can't cover the curriculum in depth and breath like normal... You can do this!
Well nerds, I fuckin' did it.
Took me a global pandemic and a damn quarantine, but I did it.
I figured out the precise chronological order of all the MCU movies (so far) BY SCENE.
I'm out of my Goddamn mind. You're welcome.
OMG YES! What if the whole school used the same #googleForm for hall passes. Campus monitors can look up on a tablet... should this kid be out of class? #googleEDU
Admin, Its not just students who need Maslow before Bloom. Teachers also need:
1) feel safe / supported
2) Volition/ sense of autonomy
3) attention/ appreciation
4) emotional connection/ relationship
5) value within the team
8 easy ways to positively impact #culture:
1). Greet people
2). Say please and thank you
3). Don’t micromanage
4). Share credit
5). Own failure
6). Be humble
7). Always be kind
8). Apologize
I'm comfortable giving a student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the #student who only needed 1 attempt.
'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'
