Edward M Edward M (Nov 08 2019 1:41PM) : Good--engaged, bad--not engaged more

When they go well, all students are engaged (either listening or speaking) and indicating that they understand the conversation. They make meaningful comments and they build upon their knowledge. When discussions don’t go well, students have their heads on tables, one student might dominate the discussion, or no one speaks. Few—or none—add meaningful insight into the conversation; some students might not understand what is being discussed.

Matthew L Matthew L (Nov 08 2019 1:44PM) : differentiation is one of the biggest challenges in the classroom. Like all meaningful practices, its of little value unless its infused in all parts of a teacher's pedagogy

Matthew L Matthew L (Nov 08 2019 1:42PM) : My students have been posting texts in real time creating digital "silent conversations". I'm interested in developing this practice further since it taps in on skills that students already possess due to exposure to social media.

Francis C Francis C (Nov 08 2019 1:42PM) : Conversations go well- engaged/interested in topic/participation/piggybacking on comments. when conversations don't go well- distraction/not understanding the material or topic more

When conversations go well in the classroom, students are participating and engaging in the conversation. Mostly a lot of “piggy-backing” on comments occur. When conversations don’t go well its mostly due students being distracted or not interested in the discussion topic. From my own experiences it due mostly to not understanding the question or vocabulary words that are presented( if a reading is present).

Liz C Liz C (Nov 08 2019 1:44PM) : Quiet voices heard more

I think this would be good to utilize within discussions whether they be formal structured ones like Socratic Seminars or informal discussions. The online format pushes inclusion while allowing “quiet” students voice in a different form. The added layer of technology allows for students to have a filter between themselves and their audience. This is especially important for kids who suffer from performance anxieties.

It a great tool. I can see this being used in the class if and only if we have working laptops and internet.

Edward M Edward M (Nov 08 2019 2:45PM) : It would be beneficial in getting students to annotate and to think about reading deeply. The challenge would be in managing the tech.
