Digital Student Teaching Week #4

Strengthening Communication 




During Remote Learning Week #4, my student teacher Miss McDaniel @miss_tmcdaniel and I explored different ways to strengthen our communication.  As teachers we need to differentiate our communication based-on the different family circumstances.  Some parents are working in the medical field or different emergency capacities. We need to find a way to help these families so students can be more independent online as parents work long hours. We provide a one-stop schedule with the different embedded hyperlinks in a Google Template every week. We organize our schedule in the Schoology Calendar.  At the beginning of every week, we provide a recording with an overview of the different assignments. Also,  we provide two options for directions. We provide a visual description, and we provide a recording that we create using Screencastify. I love using the grading features that Schoology has in place on the ipad. I am able to write on the students documents to provide direct feedback. We do not want to ask students to complete assignments without providing feedback.  We are continuing to recognize the work of our students. We give shout-outs through the week on Schoology, and we recognize students during our weekly Google Meets. If you have additional ideas about how we can further strengthen communication then please reach out to us. If you have questions about different tools that we are using then please connect with us too. We are stronger to together. Our purpose for sharing our vlog is share our story in case it helps others.
