@HerrildKelsey I feel your pain. I have a kindergartener, and it was a struggle. He needed assistance finding materials and always had lots of questions, and it was also difficult for his teacher who was trying her best to prepare them and help them and teach them.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@AlyssaLockwoo12 Yes! The number of times my son (kindergarten) and I have to pause videos and restart them for deeper understanding is immense. So helpful! Especially because learners are all in different places in their learning and understanding.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@PersingNicole I do hope that the chaos of having to learn virtually does help my students with their future courses if they choose to continue their education in that way. They will be better prepared for online learning than I was when I took my first online course in college.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@KaciKepferland Yes! We had advisory groups and it was all about mental health check-ins and supporting each other, not curriculum related at all. I had more participation there than any other class.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@Kirksey_choir I do love this idea! I thought of creating a facebook group for my students, but then I heard them say facebook is for old people 🤣

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@SamMcBean24 So true! I think about all the different ways to teach the same lesson, in ways I never had to before.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@AmandaD27557349 Sometimes with all the chaos of hybrid teaching, I worry that I'm stretched thin and that I won't be able to show my students all the work I really am doing in an effort to help them grow. It's a struggle.

@lexi_mcphee I'm definitely going to have this diagram and it's information parts printed out for easy reference and reminder. So helpful.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@AmieByelich Yes, yes, yes!! Students thrive better in environments where they feel nurtured.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@HansaNarang17 Yes!!! 🙌 I know sometimes as teachers we ensure we reach out to those who are struggling but we need to celebrate those who have shown even small improvements and those who never even faltered with all the changes thrown at them.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

It is perhaps not surprising that courses with high levels of social presence result in a stronger feeling
of community among the participants. -I hope we can manifest this is these courses as well as the ones we teach. #NotaDog #643Sp21

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

...distinguished between “interaction” and “presence” in
an online environment, suggesting that “presence” is a sense of “being” online that manifests through
interactions between individuals This is actually really helpful. #NotaDog #643Sp21

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

Learning online can be isolating for students. Some students may prefer to be anonymous—on the outset, at least—until they feel comfortable participating in the course. Online learning has been a struggle for my students who struggle with social anxiety. #NotaDog #643Sp21

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

These bios can become profiles that allow for a deeper understanding of student motivations, desires, and concerns. -I would like to try more TechEd avenues that allows this kind of connection. #GetPresent #643Sp21

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

When we see our students face to face, we see facial
expressions and body language. Teachers want to
know how to “see” these aspects when teaching online. This, there is so much more to being a teacher than just teaching curriculum. #GetPresent #643Sp21

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

The relationships you build with your students are key
to their academic success. THIS!!! #GETPRESENT #643Sp21

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@BahorskiSara Soooo true! We often talk about how difficult working in the virtual space is, but even the face to face space has many changes. I sometimes don't know which student is talking even. It's a struggle to gauge understanding also when a student has a mask covering half their face.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@karikcmu With that, I also find it's easier to make learning connections and build relationships with students, which is so much harder in the virtual atmosphere.

[Alisha Clavelli @sandov53]

@AmandaD27557349 This is why so many teachers switch to a gradeless classroom, to give and ensure worthwhile feedback for students to learn and grow from.
