Rob, do you have a link to a DPI rating of sorts to video conferencing tools?

That Facebook group from earlier: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Temporaryschoolclosuresupport/permalink/1612794625539843/

Many districts are asking teachers to do quality formative assessments where they are checking for understanding, but to ease up on the grading.

We have been told to assess and provide a grade before the end of the week.

From Rob on DPI assessment of video conferencing tools for educator use: “They didn't put it out yet, but they were preparing something.”

Our district just put out there tips and tricks to assess students with digital such as creating a time limit for the quiz to eliminate the possibility or temptation to go to outside sources, locking them in a google form for assessment so they can’t go to outside sources.

From Trisha: Our teachers have been told to assess essential standards.

I have a variety of projects and Red Cross Virtual Learning but I have not gotten to the assessments aspects for student learning. I can see their progress through the activities as formative assessments but would love to hear more strategies

I do a lot of flip grids for kids to video themselves and explain a concept to me that way. They have their own choice of how they want to demonstrate that learning.

One way to avoid the worry about students using outside sources or connecting with peers over the phone, we might consider asking questions that cannot be solved with right/wrong answers that can be Googled. Deeper creative thinking questions will do the trick.

It might be powerful to have students actually have to search for various ways to answer questions.

If you change your All Panelists pulldown to All Panelists and Attendees, everyone can see your chat messages.

Just like college classes or online learning they can make videos talking about specific information (if kids are able to) or discussions where they need to submit their responses before they can view anyone else's and comment on others.

Tara, do you guys use Schoology?

Only a few teachers do in our business department but I do not. We have Canvas and I also use EdPuzzle

We use Schoology in Neenah very similar to Google Classroom which I used for a CESA 6 class

I work in Neenah, too!

Hi! I’m at the High School!

I’m 4th grade at Coolidge!

My kids (all BIG now) went to Coolidge!

:)

I love this idea of using Google forms as an assessment.

I am in Neenah too, at Coolidge. :)

If any of you use Schoology, I can show you or explain to you how to embed the Google Form into Schoology that way they can just go to Schoology and do the form right there without having to click a link and go to Google Forms! Less steps for them!

From Abigail: Has anyone tried putting a google form in Seesaw?

I’d appreciate the info on embedding a Google form in Schoology!

Absolutely! I will email you separately!

Same here with embedding a Google form into Schoology. Also embedding videos from YouTube would be great too. Just about everything I have in Schoology right now is a link to somewhere else.

P.S. Kelsey…I’m in Neenah too!

I'm thinking about K-2 students and how assessments might look for this age group? Parents are much more involved in their online work. How do we check for authentic understanding when parents might be "helping?"

Ditto to what Lisa asked.

LoriAnn, I will also email you!

Kelsey, can you email me the information as well! :)

Yes!

Thank you Eric.

Each teacher would need to meet individually to conference and do some checking. It's what we do now for some assessments at K-2. So it's doable, but will need to take some organizing with each student.

Does anyone know if you can do Kahoot from distance?

As far as essential standards, one of our is "the students will perform in correct techniques within a large group". There are many tools to help students individually, but only a few for keeping them connected as a group. We are looking at Soundtrap as a means of performing as a group even when apart. Do you have other suggestions?

Dreambox Learning is also another tool for math that you can assign learning tasks and check progress.

Yes, Lisa. Time will shift from uploading content to spending time conferencing. same amount of time, just spent in a different way...

I began with Kahoots a few years back but now do more Quizizz and they do have a “do on your own time” feature due to these shut-downs that have happened.

Good point, David!

I am curious about using Kahoot as well for my K-4 music students

Kahoot can be done individually once it is created, you can set it up

Lindsay, are you saying I just create it, then share the link with the students? Can they take it individually?

Yes, David! I have seen teachers now tstart to schedule small group and individual conferences with students. Actually, the students are signing up for a time slot.

Jenny and I have given assessments using Kahoot.

Yes, and it records their scores for you to see later

Cool

soundtrap

From Linda: You can open Kahoot as a competition and have it open for a period of time. Our French teacher does it.

From Jerry: Can you set up screen lock and time restraints in google form quizzes?

can you share the spreadsheet?

From Tracey: what does socrative do?

The spreadsheet is in the slideshow!

Got it. thanks

I use Woot Math because you have a math keyboard (math symbols) but it’s like Kahoot and has all the same features but with math.

Sweet! I’ll have to check that out!

Some of the states are going to be closed for this academic session. If it continues to be closed till end of school session, what are your plans to do till then or how you are making sure that learning continues ?

All stress aside, this is a great time for us to learn tools that will allow us to have more blended learning after we get back into the classroom. Looking forward to seeing the future of education that was sort of forced upon us.

What are you doing or trying to reach those students who haven’t attempted anything? I have one student who hasn’t done anything and 2 who have done very minimal work.

I have attempted to make contact with parents.

Hi Lindsey!! I have the same question. What about the kids who aren't completing anything? I'm contacting home, but am not getting much and worried about these students falling behind

Lindsey, each of our middle schools is handling it a bit differently. One is using the dean and counselor. Another has a point person for each grade level.

I will continue to try a few more times, but otherwise it is out of my hands at that point.

How do I gain access to the slideshow? I came in 10 minutes late.

First email to student, then email to parent, then phone call home and ultimately our police Liaison Officer will do a wellness check. I leave that little tidbit on their phone message and quite a few have called back!

Our Student Intervention Team just met today, and each grade level has created a Google spread sheet with contact made, point person..etc. Once several modes have been attempted, the team highlights in read and reaches out to their point person on our team.

This is so helpful! It’s EXACTLY where we are at today in our Learning at Home journey.

The SIT team brainstorms and helps support.

Our SIT team is doing the same. Teachers contact first and if need more assistance, they log it on the doc.

This is really great information, too much to absorb at once, but I can’t wait to get into the slideshow and dig in!

I am unable to click on any of the ideas or scroll to explore. Anyone else having this issue?

I had to open the slideshow in a separate tab

Thank you presenters! This is really useful information. We appreciate you.

Yes, thank you for your time and resource helps.
