Ice Breaker

If you were able to travel through time, either forward or backward, what time period would you want to explore? Why? Jamboard

Spark students to learn, collaborate, and engage in active new ways. Simple as a whiteboard, but smarter, share ideas in brainstorms or lectures, students can jam from anywhere.

  • Allowing the students to show learning in a variety of ways, not just via worksheet.

  • Have fun and laugh.

Lessons learned from distance learning

  • Do not underestimate the power of social and emotional learning. Developing relationships with my kiddos was instrumental in getting their buy in. I praised them daily for showing up and participating.

  • One important takeaway was that educators are all different. I enjoyed working with educators from different schools. We all share the same goals.

  • Online small groups work. Teacher collaboration is key to success. Getting students comfortable with collaborating will lead to success.

  • Learning a few different tools that will be useful to me. (Seesaw, Wakelet, 3-Act Tasks).

  • Students are more engaged when they are given problem-solving and inquiry tasks rather than telling them how to do something, followed by worksheets.
