Digital Student Teaching Week #5

Interactive Lessons and Feedback


Vlog Week #5: https://youtu.be/Kkr6ORnjOT0

As we reflected upon the week, we found that two themes emerged: Interactive Lessons and Feedback.  This week we focused-on finding the best ways to create interactive lessons during remote learning. In our Vlog, we shared about how we used Nearpod.  We created self-paced Nearpod lessons.  We embedded different voice recordings to provide students with the recorded instructions.  Also, we were able to use interactive tools like DrawIt, Polls, Open Ended Responses, etc. It is easy to embed FlipGrids and YouTube videos within Nearpod. Since students do not have materials at home it can be difficult for students to take part in science experiments that require resources. So Miss McDaniel created YouTube Videos with the different experiments. Then she gave students the option to share their experiments at home via FlipGrid. This past week we used Learning A-Z, specifically Reading A-Z or RAZ, to provide students with leveled texts. The students were able to record their own reading. I love listening to my students reading. Then I can record my own feedback. I even pressed our Staple's "That was easy" button that we use in our classroom to celebrate excellent reading. Kahoot is a great tool to use with students too. The students answered questions in a trivia format at the end of our science unit.  This is a fun way to gather information about what students' know. I created a grid to provide students with feedback during remote learning. If students completed an assignment then I provided students with a digital sticker. If students missed an assignment then I provided students with feedback in the box about what they missed. Here is a copy of the grid if you would like to use it with your students: https://bit.ly/remotelearninggrid 


Please reach out to use if you have any questions or ideas for us for our upcoming Vlog about Digital Student Teaching.
