Meaningful Connections in a Distancing World

With social distancing, face coverings, and home learning as a current standard, the ability to make meaningful connections with others grows more difficult. The majority of students thrive on social interactions, yet those have been highly interrupted over the past several months and we feel the effects in the educational setting. Join in the conversation as we explore best practices in communication, interaction, outreach, and support during these unprecedented times.

How can we, as teachers, use formative assessment tools to help our students thrive in a remote learning environment? We will utilize Google Forms, Google Drawings, Flip Grid, Itematica, and other platforms to engage students in formative assessments.
Join this session to learn how to leverage a variety of digital tools to monitor where students should be, where students are currently, and how to close the learning gaps.
