2019-2020 School Year: Student LMS Login/Navigation Videos

Students need clearly defined processes and routines in a well managed classroom. Distance learning from home became our reality this spring. With this new reality came new processes and expectations for our learners. Just prior to our abrupt departure from the classroom in March, I made several videos for our students to remind them how to login and navigate Schoology once they were working from home. These videos proved to be immensely helpful even in the following weeks. As students and parents reached out for help when they struggled, we were able to pass along these videos for support.

2018-2019 School Year: Frequent Review of Classroom Rules

Because I work with all students in our elementary school on an intermittent basis, behavior expectations in my classroom can be a challenge. Because of this, I introduce my classroom rules the first time that I see each class and then spend 5 minutes reviewing them each time I subsequently have that class. This takes a few extra minutes, but I believe it saves myself and my students much frustration in the long run.

2017-2018 School Year: Expectations for Online Discussion Posts

As the district's Instructional Technology Coach, I spend time teaching students how to use technology appropriately. One of the things that I have worked with students on this year is the appropriate way to interact in online discussion forums. When one of our teachers came to me to let me know that he had several students using discussion threads inappropriately, he and I talked about ways that this could be addressed. After we spent some time together, he was able to go back to his class and review much of what they had already learned previously with me and then create his own classroom expectations to reinforce this criteria.
