Looking for an emoji story generator site... used one for a few years for my public spkg Ss to improvise story telling (site is now down)- could be a good distance team building for start of year. Please share any resources you may have! #bmsed #medfieldps #medfieldpln #FuseMA

What Student Activists Want Teachers To Know About Virtual Learning and Reopening Schools kqed.org/mindshift/5652…

Universal Design for Learning can be easier online because 'there are many different digital tools that can easily be built into the framework of the course that may be harder to integrate in a face-to-face setting.” Paul Darvasi, PhD ow.ly/gIq850B1QEW

Fascinating!

Can I say again that Record to Slides is amazing?

I’m building a self paced, asynchronous experience for educator PD and I can quickly and easily add myself into the Google Slides experience with two clicks.

Great quote from Paula Johnson : “in remote learning, when teachers have face to face time with their students, students should be talking, not the teacher. If teachers need to talk more than a minute or two, it should be in a video so students can access it again.”

Thread has nice ideas for connections and Ss reluctant to turn video on #medfieldps #bmsed

Educators,
Now that school is starting, don't make assumptions about homes of students when they have cameras off. Don’t assume homes are messy, noisy, or absent of parents. Instead, ask yourself “how do I build trust & foster engagement w/cameras off?” You might be surprised...

@Flipgrid Topics will now show a green checkmark as soon as you provide text or video feedback to your students. Cool! #flipgridforall

Great resource to inspire action! #bmsed #medfieldps
