Providing Meaningful Feedback in Canvas with Lake Elsinore Unified School District - By CanvasLMS
Transcript
00:02 | Welcome everybody to uh , I think it's our fourth | |
00:05 | session today . We're doing six live streams all across | |
00:08 | California for the California canvas collaborative . And I have | |
00:14 | spent probably 15 minutes with these two guys and I'm | |
00:18 | absolutely huge fans of both Ryan Mulvaney and Kevin . | |
00:23 | Goodly you guys are are so much fun and we | |
00:26 | haven't even started the session . So I'm really excited | |
00:29 | to see how you're providing meaningful feedback in canvas there | |
00:32 | at your district . I think that it's something that | |
00:36 | that we've talked . I know I've talked a lot | |
00:37 | about with the podcast with my partner Marcus painter on | |
00:40 | , on doing the canvass casters . We talk a | |
00:42 | lot about feedback and speed greater . So if you're | |
00:45 | a speed greater fan , speed grade user or you're | |
00:47 | just learning the tool , there's tons of ways to | |
00:50 | provide meaningful feedback and what does that even mean ? | |
00:52 | So stick around because the session is going to rock | |
00:56 | your socks . I think kevin , I'm gonna turn | |
00:58 | it over to you there at riverside County to do | |
01:00 | a brief introduction and then Ryan , the show is | |
01:02 | yours . So I all welcome to the conference here | |
01:06 | and thank you Eddie appreciate it . My name is | |
01:08 | Kevin Godley . I worked for Riverside County Office of | |
01:11 | Education and I'm very fortunate to be able to introduce | |
01:14 | Ryan Mulvaney from Lake Elsinore Unified School District . Ryan's | |
01:19 | part one of the school districts . He's part of | |
01:21 | our riverside County consortium of schools where we have six | |
01:25 | school districts , all using canvas with respect to not | |
01:30 | only as Ryan , we'll talk about , uh , | |
01:32 | providing critical feedback , but also looking at how we | |
01:35 | share information and resources and professional development amongst the consortium | |
01:42 | . So with Ryan , his part today as he | |
01:45 | presents will be how Lake Elsinore has been tremendous contributor | |
01:50 | to the efforts for the riverside county efforts to combine | |
01:54 | the school districts on canvas to be able to make | |
01:58 | all information accessible among the district . So Ryan , | |
02:01 | I'll turn it over to you . Awesome . Thanks | |
02:04 | so much kevin . Uh , yeah , so my | |
02:07 | name is Ryan Mulvaney . I'm the director of instructional | |
02:09 | technology and alternative programs in like Elster Unified School District | |
02:13 | . Um , let's go ahead and go full screen | |
02:16 | here . And so , uh , we'll start off | |
02:20 | a little bit about why we originally chose canvas and | |
02:23 | it really started with working with our infinite are soon | |
02:26 | information system . We were interested in the grades transferring | |
02:31 | and that was one of the biggest complaints when we're | |
02:33 | using some of our learning learning management systems is we | |
02:36 | had a whole bunch of different pieces , but we | |
02:38 | wanted in one location that our teachers could access and | |
02:41 | our students could access . Um , and it was | |
02:44 | scalable . The old Atari reference of easy to learn | |
02:47 | , difficult to master in this case . I think | |
02:50 | it was very easy to learn but it wasn't uh | |
02:53 | it wasn't slowing down our advanced teachers from doing some | |
02:57 | amazing things including embedding and creating some L . T | |
03:00 | . I . S . And things like that . | |
03:02 | So we are off to a great start . We | |
03:04 | actually started in the fall of 2020 we had about | |
03:08 | maybe 25 teachers that were using canvas regularly . And | |
03:12 | then uh something happened in March of 2020 last year | |
03:15 | of course . And so when Covid hit , we | |
03:18 | were shut down actually the friday before our spring break | |
03:22 | at that point we had about 12 teachers in our | |
03:24 | district of about 1000 teachers with any distance learning experience | |
03:29 | . Um We decided in our district that we were | |
03:32 | going to create opportunities for students to increase their grades | |
03:37 | . We had some sort of created curriculum but then | |
03:39 | basically from March to August 2020 , uh we held | |
03:43 | a whole bunch of training in order to prepare us | |
03:45 | for the 21 or the 2021 school year , um | |
03:49 | , all based on trying to make it a meaningful | |
03:52 | year , not just kind of getting through it . | |
03:55 | And so starting from a basis of some hotties findings | |
03:59 | , we looked at ways that we could transfer the | |
04:02 | good quality teaching that we saw in our classrooms , | |
04:05 | um , for our students , even if they weren't | |
04:08 | in front of us . And so The opportunity that | |
04:10 | was prevented or presented , uh , was basically the | |
04:14 | teachers weren't ready to teach in a distance learning format | |
04:17 | in March , and that's not a judgment on them | |
04:19 | . As I said before , there's only 12 that | |
04:21 | had ever applied for that . I'm sure that we | |
04:24 | were dealing with something similar at a lot of our | |
04:27 | districts , but they were very receptive to discussions training | |
04:31 | on demand support . Um and we did have those | |
04:34 | months of transition um that we could look at , | |
04:37 | and really basically , I guess from our standpoint is | |
04:40 | self deprecating when we go in and not come in | |
04:43 | as sort of like we have all the answers , | |
04:45 | but let's try to figure this out together . That | |
04:47 | went a long way in getting our our teachers to | |
04:51 | feel comfortable in what they were actually using for the | |
04:54 | tool . So we'll go from there . Sorry ? | |
04:58 | All right . So that when we started looking at | |
05:02 | some of Hattie's work , um teacher credibility actually seemed | |
05:07 | to be a little bit tenuous at first , just | |
05:09 | because it's ranked so high with visible learning as far | |
05:13 | as the impact on student learning . Um but we | |
05:16 | we wanted our teachers to feel comfortable , so reducing | |
05:18 | their effective filter uh and helping them understand it really | |
05:22 | , that transference of how they would use it . | |
05:24 | And so for that we looked at formative assessments and | |
05:27 | feedback which are also uh ranked very highly by Hattie | |
05:31 | and his work for impact on student learning . And | |
05:34 | then from there we sort of became our focus became | |
05:37 | how do we provide the meaningful feedback that our students | |
05:41 | need in order to be successful on in their in | |
05:46 | their plant or in the learning piece ? So when | |
05:48 | you look at court transactions , if you're like a | |
05:50 | platform developer , an app developer , then you're familiar | |
05:54 | with that work . Um But basically if you have | |
05:56 | something like uh if you have something like Uber books | |
06:01 | , I'm trying to are you having a little bit | |
06:03 | of trouble with the . Yeah . So if you | |
06:06 | have Uber you have a transition your core transaction between | |
06:09 | the client and the person running it basically as they | |
06:12 | share a ride and Airbnb you share their space or | |
06:16 | you're renting out there . Um , maybe their cabin | |
06:19 | or something like that . Youtube , you're transferring . | |
06:21 | That content from over is providing it to whoever is | |
06:25 | receiving it . Usually the viewer . And then we | |
06:27 | started with what well , what is that court transaction | |
06:30 | education And we landed on meaningful feedback which crossed over | |
06:33 | a lot of different ways with um with Hattie's work | |
06:37 | as well . So our method of onboarding this information | |
06:40 | is just basically realizing and being honest with it . | |
06:43 | But there's no book for this sort of thing . | |
06:45 | Right ? When a global transit , our global pandemic | |
06:49 | hits , um , the first training that I actually | |
06:52 | ran , we had two teachers that were literally in | |
06:54 | tears as they were , They were struggling with their | |
06:57 | concept of how they could , they could show their | |
06:59 | confidence , their students and get them to learn . | |
07:02 | So some of the supports that we put in place | |
07:04 | were a course , a canvas course that we created | |
07:08 | and updated frequently in our district . We actually have | |
07:11 | micro credentials that are compensated to our teachers . Were | |
07:13 | able to complete a little micro credential of course in | |
07:17 | canvas that they use the badging system for um , | |
07:19 | once they created are completed that then we also had | |
07:23 | a reference that we could go back to and and | |
07:25 | kind of tap into them as training as well and | |
07:27 | then we use scared so we can reach out to | |
07:29 | some of the great teachers . Um , just great | |
07:32 | teachers with no qualification on using technology , um , | |
07:36 | to be able to transfer that to the classroom as | |
07:39 | well . So we looked at a whole bunch of | |
07:41 | options . The big thing here is making sure that | |
07:44 | feedback was a thread throughout all of them . As | |
07:46 | you can see there's literally three sessions that we used | |
07:49 | that we're just about basic getting them to understand the | |
07:52 | canvas system . But everything else had that thread of | |
07:55 | using that feedback throughout it . And so we looked | |
07:59 | at it from a way to just share this and | |
08:01 | work together with no roles were all just educators trying | |
08:05 | to figure this out . We recorded our sessions , | |
08:08 | we send out things called just one things that talked | |
08:11 | about one tip of the day . Um literally just | |
08:14 | one thing , I mean that's the name of it | |
08:16 | , but it would be something like how to sort | |
08:18 | of speed greater differently or how to show um students | |
08:22 | are used the teacher to do list to show what | |
08:24 | assignments are coming up and then at the end of | |
08:27 | every single session we have what's called extra time where | |
08:30 | we just wait on their here teachers frustrations like kind | |
08:34 | of repurpose their time towards sharing that feedback and having | |
08:39 | that connection with their students because that was the biggest | |
08:42 | feedback and frustration from our teachers is that they wouldn't | |
08:44 | be able to do their job um in a distance | |
08:48 | setting . And that's where we see the high level | |
08:50 | of emotion from our teachers . We'd see the frustration | |
08:53 | and anxiety and so that's where we started to pivot | |
08:57 | and look at the tools that canvas provides for our | |
09:00 | teachers in order to provide that meaningful feedback to our | |
09:03 | students . And so the tools that we really highlighted | |
09:07 | , and we'll highlight over the next couple slides um | |
09:10 | are built into canvas itself . We have some other | |
09:12 | tools that we use and leverage , like studio and | |
09:14 | things like that . Um , but the basic , | |
09:17 | just core product has some amazing things that are , | |
09:19 | teachers started to see the ability for them to share | |
09:22 | their expertise with their students , Um , was what | |
09:26 | they were giving them to go to go back a | |
09:28 | little bit . One of the things that we would | |
09:30 | say over and over again is that our teacher , | |
09:32 | our students don't need us to provide content . They | |
09:36 | have youtube , they have the internet , they have | |
09:38 | uh , photo math , whatever else kids are are | |
09:42 | using to try to figure out our typical problems or | |
09:46 | things that we prevent them . They need us to | |
09:48 | understand that connection of where they are . So the | |
09:50 | more we learn about our students using some of the | |
09:52 | tools we'll look at today , the more we are | |
09:55 | able to literally do our job , um , even | |
09:58 | though they weren't in front of us . And so | |
09:59 | some of the features that are teachers leveraged for feedback | |
10:03 | . We're just basically in the grade book . So | |
10:06 | the great book itself , they would leave little comments | |
10:09 | . We found a great article called giving quality instructor | |
10:13 | feedback in canvas from Miami of Ohio University um that | |
10:17 | we just we use that as our starting core foundation | |
10:20 | but giving them feedback on each assignment . Um even | |
10:24 | just discussions about some of the features in literal like | |
10:28 | 20 minute discussions on the importance of providing a due | |
10:32 | date for the assignments , because that shows up on | |
10:34 | the students to do list , which helps keep them | |
10:37 | organized , which is something they need and distance learning | |
10:39 | . But then really having a discussion about those availability | |
10:43 | dates in allowing students to turn and work again or | |
10:46 | re submission . So I'll show you some examples of | |
10:49 | what that looks like from the teacher live from an | |
10:52 | example . But those were interesting discussions because it was | |
10:57 | this sort of , well what happens if a student | |
10:59 | does their first attempt in learning and then they need | |
11:02 | to resubmit it are , how do we keep on | |
11:05 | track of them and make sure that they're uh , | |
11:07 | going through the , the , the process ? Um | |
11:11 | , the biggest one I think that we got a | |
11:13 | lot of really positive feedback that will dive into as | |
11:17 | well . Um , with speed greater and so speed | |
11:20 | grader , we would say it's not just a clever | |
11:21 | name , it really does save you a whole bunch | |
11:23 | of time . Um , we did have to kind | |
11:26 | of keep in mind that saturation of tools though for | |
11:29 | our teachers . So we weren't just overloading because canvas | |
11:32 | has a lot of really amazing features . So we | |
11:34 | take little bits and pieces of them and actually share | |
11:38 | our , for all the trainers in our district , | |
11:41 | share those resources amongst themselves . So we knew that | |
11:44 | we were hitting the same thing . So when some | |
11:46 | of someone was mentioning the to do list , we | |
11:48 | also make sure that they understood that when you click | |
11:50 | that as a teacher that takes you directly to speed | |
11:53 | greater , which allows you to provide that content . | |
11:56 | So in this example , um we focus on providing | |
12:00 | meaningful feedback using the media tool or using a rubric | |
12:05 | or using just comments and then allowing that uh that | |
12:09 | resubmission of work as well , which is a little | |
12:11 | bit of a difference between the typical setup that we | |
12:15 | would see in a classroom , when a kid turns | |
12:17 | in the essay , they want to be done with | |
12:18 | it . Um just as much as the teacher might | |
12:21 | want to be done with it when they're done grading | |
12:22 | . Um And so that was the important piece of | |
12:25 | it is not just submitting it and being done with | |
12:27 | it , but also getting that feedback and showing the | |
12:30 | teachers how they could transfer that . So one of | |
12:33 | our favorite examples of this is we had a second | |
12:37 | grade teacher which you'll see in a second um that | |
12:40 | the t the student turned in their first attempt in | |
12:42 | learning . This is the second day of school , | |
12:44 | you've got 1/6 grader that's never been in an online | |
12:46 | setting before . Teachers never taught an online setting before | |
12:50 | and they have about two or three different submissions where | |
12:53 | the student starts off isn't really hitting the threshold of | |
12:56 | what the teacher is looking at for proficiency and then | |
12:58 | they're able to give them video feedback that explains how | |
13:02 | they can make their writing better . But when you | |
13:04 | see the grade changing , if not that it's all | |
13:06 | about grades but definitely about proficiency . You see where | |
13:09 | soon would start at a one on a four point | |
13:12 | scale , started to one , get feedback from the | |
13:14 | teacher resubmit and get it to get feedback from the | |
13:17 | teacher resubmit , hit a three . Get feedback from | |
13:20 | the teacher resubmitted it for and that , to me | |
13:23 | is a successful lesson . The teacher did their job | |
13:25 | in providing their expertise . The student didn't get frustrated | |
13:29 | because they were getting something that was a value to | |
13:31 | them to resubmit that work . And ultimately , if | |
13:34 | it was about grades than they got to where the | |
13:37 | teacher wants them to be and where the student wants | |
13:39 | to be as well , because they're better writer out | |
13:41 | of it . So that was a good feature for | |
13:44 | them to use . You can't talk about , I | |
13:46 | don't think you can talk about speed greater without talking | |
13:48 | about the amazing annotations field within doc viewer and that's | |
13:53 | where our teachers absolutely thrived . Or they provide the | |
13:57 | they provide annotations , show the students exactly what they're | |
14:01 | talking about . You'll see that on the example that | |
14:04 | I've kind of shared from one of our teachers as | |
14:06 | well . So this was the second day of school | |
14:09 | , there's a whole bunch of things going on as | |
14:11 | far as from an instructional technology standpoint . They're exciting | |
14:14 | . You've got the student using single sign in and | |
14:16 | all these nerdy technical terms , but you've got a | |
14:19 | rich task that the teachers provided for their second graders | |
14:23 | . Um the students uh using office 365 integration to | |
14:28 | instantly share that work with the student or with the | |
14:30 | teacher . Um as they submit the teachers using the | |
14:35 | uh using the feedback that they can give with the | |
14:39 | annotations to highlight where the student can do better . | |
14:42 | If we were using the drop down here , you'd | |
14:44 | see that this went from a one initially all the | |
14:48 | way to a four based on the teacher feedback and | |
14:50 | the teacher giving some amazing feedback , including some of | |
14:53 | it that was video um that they had on that | |
14:56 | particular assignment in order to get the student where they | |
14:59 | need to be um a little bit more on speed | |
15:02 | grader . Uh It's and this is the piece that | |
15:05 | I guess I miss when we first started using speed | |
15:07 | grader and I was over at an online school across | |
15:10 | the street . Uh is that when you're using the | |
15:12 | to do list as a teacher ? Um The most | |
15:15 | , I think the grooviest uh sort of tip I | |
15:19 | could take is that ability to sort those assignments because | |
15:22 | when you're going through and using a drop down to | |
15:26 | sort through all of your students , Our teachers absolutely | |
15:29 | love the fact if you see in the bottom right | |
15:31 | there , you can you can actually view by submission | |
15:34 | status . One of the most difficult things to keep | |
15:37 | track of . And that we've had , we had | |
15:39 | problems with historically is what happens if you provide that | |
15:43 | flexibility of your students , but then you're trying to | |
15:46 | go back in time to kind of figure out , | |
15:48 | okay , what do I need to do as a | |
15:50 | teacher to provide that feedback ? And so this feature | |
15:54 | speed greater just by itself , is probably responsible for | |
15:58 | more willingness of our teachers to be able to take | |
16:01 | the except late work , things like that , but | |
16:04 | also how the students resubmit , because they kind of | |
16:07 | go back up to their q as they got a | |
16:09 | new submission that they might need , um , to | |
16:12 | review . And that was huge for us because we | |
16:15 | can't just say , oh , it's great and do | |
16:17 | this , Trust us , it's going to be amazing | |
16:19 | . You've never done it before , but trust us | |
16:21 | , it's gonna be great . Um are we needed | |
16:23 | something that was , would streamline the process for our | |
16:26 | teachers , so they were able to do what they | |
16:28 | need to do , but also provide the feedback that | |
16:31 | we were asking them to as well . Um We | |
16:35 | happen to be an ipad district , but this is | |
16:37 | on android as well , this was sort of an | |
16:40 | unintended benefit . Our teachers got really familiar with using | |
16:44 | the ipad out just because they thought this was the | |
16:47 | bee's knees , because you've got your submission status on | |
16:50 | the bottom left there , where it shows you're graded | |
16:52 | assignments , the ones that need grading and the ones | |
16:54 | that haven't submitted , so you can filter that down | |
16:57 | to , you know how students are particularly doing on | |
17:00 | the assignment . Um and then also go in and | |
17:03 | actually review those submissions . Um So this is one | |
17:06 | of those uh got a little flack from my teachers | |
17:10 | for not introducing it earlier because when they kind of | |
17:13 | stumbled on that about september october , they were hyped | |
17:16 | up because this is super useful . Um it's probably | |
17:19 | the most downloaded app on some of our ipads that | |
17:23 | are checked out to teachers just because it's very easy | |
17:26 | for them to organize their work and see what the | |
17:28 | students are doing , see who they need to maybe | |
17:31 | get on a little bit about turning in their work | |
17:33 | . In this case joe Rogers needs to turn in | |
17:35 | there , introduction of the solar system work , but | |
17:39 | it really streamlined . The teachers time were typically there | |
17:43 | , you know , being cognizant of the fact that | |
17:46 | they're learning how to deliver instruction , they're learning how | |
17:49 | to deliver curriculum and they're really trying to do the | |
17:52 | best to motivate their students all in a unique environment | |
17:56 | that they weren't necessarily um Set out to do up | |
18:01 | until March 2020 . So , um that was that | |
18:04 | was important for us as well . That's just kind | |
18:06 | of let them another piece just from the feedback perspective | |
18:10 | , is understanding that they could give that the question | |
18:13 | feedback just because we talked a little bit about feedback | |
18:16 | . I wanted to make sure that I mentioned that | |
18:19 | this is one of those hidden gems or sort of | |
18:22 | lessons or one of the legacies that I think we'll | |
18:25 | see from the pandemic is the willingness of teachers to | |
18:29 | work together to create common question banks in order to | |
18:32 | create common assessments that they can use to drive their | |
18:35 | PLC discussions in our classes as well . So this | |
18:38 | is all we , we've always sort of had a | |
18:40 | question bank um um program somewhere , whatever , we've | |
18:47 | used some different ones . Um but this actually made | |
18:50 | it easier for our teachers just assign as an assignment | |
18:53 | that kids would get quote unquote credit for it , | |
18:55 | but they could also add some in depth discussions to | |
18:58 | drive their own instructional practices based on how they would | |
19:01 | do that . So yes , they could provide that | |
19:03 | feedback depending on how the students answered certain questions , | |
19:07 | but I think more importantly seeing them see the benefit | |
19:11 | to be able to interact with each other , have | |
19:14 | some discussions about what makes a quality dok level question | |
19:17 | um and then come to some consensus about how they | |
19:20 | want to assess their kids so they can drive that | |
19:22 | instruction . So that was that was amazing for us | |
19:26 | um on that point of using the quizzes to . | |
19:31 | We also we didn't limit our training to anybody because | |
19:34 | we're trying that we're educating educators are special education teachers | |
19:40 | and case carriers , um even our sykes , people | |
19:44 | that were doing professional development and of course our teachers | |
19:47 | , when we started incorporating all of these folks , | |
19:50 | you get different perspectives , which helped us create a | |
19:53 | more inclusive environment for all of our students . So | |
19:55 | , just talking about quizzes for example , um one | |
19:59 | of the things that we talk at length about for | |
20:02 | all of our sessions is how to make this accessible | |
20:05 | for all of our students . So obviously within canvas | |
20:08 | , you have some amazing things like immersive reader that | |
20:11 | provide access to your your english language learners or your | |
20:15 | students that might be struggling in , um that might | |
20:18 | be struggling with reading , making them aware of those | |
20:22 | resources that are built within the system itself is huge | |
20:25 | , and part of that was the moderation that we | |
20:27 | have in place um , and talk about the ability | |
20:30 | for them to have those second chances because ultimately what | |
20:33 | we're looking for and everybody sort of rallied around is | |
20:37 | how we can demonstrate their proficiency given the unique circumstances | |
20:40 | that we find ourselves in . Um another kind of | |
20:45 | interesting , why didn't you tell us about this earlier | |
20:47 | , and like I said before , we are really | |
20:49 | trying to balance it on over saturation of all the | |
20:52 | amazing things canvas can do with providing things that we | |
20:56 | thought that were very helpful . Um but the messaging | |
21:00 | students who haven't submitted work or got a grade below | |
21:04 | a certain threshold was very important for our teachers as | |
21:08 | well . So even the fact of saying , hey | |
21:10 | , you haven't turned this in yet , make sure | |
21:12 | that you get this this work in was great , | |
21:14 | that they didn't have to go and kind of hunt | |
21:16 | and peck and find that as they would in other | |
21:18 | programs . Um and then one of their favorite ones | |
21:21 | Was being able to use some uh some logic pieces | |
21:25 | , I guess in order to find students that might | |
21:27 | be in a certain situation . So in this example | |
21:30 | um students who scored less than 60% on a particular | |
21:33 | assignment um would be able to resubmit that so they | |
21:36 | could let them know um that they have that ability | |
21:39 | to to bump their grade up . But when you're | |
21:41 | having a focus on mastery rather than compliance and completing | |
21:45 | work , you need these sort of features in order | |
21:48 | to make that make your students aware of that too | |
21:52 | . So um students necessarily don't self advocate uh the | |
21:56 | best and a lot of cases because there's a different | |
21:59 | power structure or something like that . But when you | |
22:02 | perceive yourself or you show yourself as someone who's just | |
22:05 | trying to help them figure out the content together . | |
22:08 | Um Then these tools are very very useful in helping | |
22:12 | reinforce that message to announcements were used a lot as | |
22:17 | well to give classroom reminders um which was great and | |
22:20 | send those out . Um And then really just looking | |
22:24 | at how they figure it out together . And so | |
22:26 | using some of the L . T . I . | |
22:28 | S . That were useful um in our in our | |
22:30 | district anyway is we leveraged flip grid in this example | |
22:35 | . This is an A . S . L . | |
22:36 | Class That if you would have asked me in March | |
22:38 | 2020 how we're gonna do a sl via distance learning | |
22:42 | , I would have literally shrugged my shoulders because I | |
22:45 | wouldn't have any idea . Um this particular teacher Use | |
22:49 | a combination of canvas studio to give her students the | |
22:53 | prompts for how they'd be working that day . And | |
22:56 | then instead of the teacher being 100% where the content | |
23:00 | was coming from , she leveraged flip grid which is | |
23:02 | just a little bit of a flip grid piece . | |
23:05 | Um You can have your you have your students review | |
23:08 | each other's submissions as well . So it was very | |
23:11 | interesting and very a little bit nerve racking for me | |
23:14 | because I don't communicate with a sl so when I | |
23:16 | go in those courses it's completely silent . There's literally | |
23:20 | no talking at all . They're all signing and doing | |
23:22 | uh going through american sign language and even commenting on | |
23:27 | each other's videos with with american sign language , which | |
23:30 | was interesting um for me anyway , because I don't | |
23:33 | speak at all or don't know what they're saying , | |
23:36 | but the teacher absolutely loved it . This is one | |
23:38 | of the teachers that at the beginning was saying , | |
23:40 | you know , I'm trying to figure this out when | |
23:42 | I'm really just not seeing what it looks like , | |
23:44 | but through virtue of collaborating with each other um with | |
23:47 | other teachers , but then also seeing the ways or | |
23:50 | distilling really down what it is that they're trying to | |
23:53 | get their students to do . Um The teacher is | |
23:55 | able to obviously provide feedback in the form of a | |
23:58 | bunch of different ways that they could set that up | |
24:00 | as well to through flip grid through studio through comments | |
24:04 | , um things like that . Yeah . Uh and | |
24:08 | then looking at how they were figuring things out together | |
24:11 | as well , so leveraging student discussions . And so | |
24:14 | the teachers did a great job of not shying away | |
24:17 | from some some really in depth conversations , and this | |
24:20 | one , they were justified by refining uh what the | |
24:24 | most justifiable of imperialism was . And you see some | |
24:29 | really interesting discussions as students are debating . You know | |
24:33 | , there's nothing wrong with national pride or a race | |
24:36 | to build empires and things like that . So it | |
24:39 | really got to the heart of students having these amazing | |
24:41 | discussions um that they would typically have in a classroom | |
24:45 | , but able to do that in distance learning environment | |
24:47 | , which kudos that teacher for understanding that they can | |
24:51 | leverage the same tools to have those really , those | |
24:53 | amazing uh , points of discussion as well . Another | |
24:58 | a sl using some of the rubrics to have the | |
25:01 | students self evaluate . And so in this example , | |
25:05 | the teacher would literally just upload the rubric and say | |
25:08 | , I want to get the scores yourself . Um | |
25:10 | , they should obviously go in and kind of see | |
25:12 | how they were doing and and help them out when | |
25:14 | they needed it all by transferring that multimedia . In | |
25:17 | that case for a sl um , to see to | |
25:20 | see how the students were doing , I would say | |
25:23 | one of the sort of aces in the holes is | |
25:26 | after we got that initial training , we shared how | |
25:28 | to share feedback and give that environment . We turned | |
25:32 | it over to our teachers and our district , we | |
25:33 | use a tool called scared , which is you might | |
25:35 | have seen for certain conferences and things like that . | |
25:38 | But by far our most our most popular sessions or | |
25:42 | when we turned it back on our teachers and asked | |
25:45 | some of our , our teachers that were a little | |
25:47 | bit further along , maybe more comfortable with the tools | |
25:49 | , um , to run sessions that we titled , | |
25:51 | here's how I use canvas . So no judgment , | |
25:54 | not this is how you should use canvas , but | |
25:57 | just different perspectives from someone at the district office or | |
26:00 | something like that . So literally the top five most | |
26:03 | popular sessions that we held . Those are the session | |
26:06 | counts with 189 people were the first one was just | |
26:10 | first week routines . And so being able to tap | |
26:13 | into some people that had a little bit of success | |
26:16 | , I felt a little bit more comfortable just created | |
26:19 | that discourse and really um really got our district to | |
26:22 | feel like they were all in this together and sort | |
26:24 | of bouncing ideas off of each other um which we | |
26:27 | are able to do in our district were able to | |
26:29 | do in our schools , but then also to be | |
26:31 | able part of the riverside County consortium that we have | |
26:34 | in our county . It was an amazing experience as | |
26:37 | well too . And then overall , um , what | |
26:41 | we had our , what we felt was the most | |
26:43 | important thing was our our guiding principles , so our | |
26:48 | guiding principle , anyway . Um , but uh you | |
26:52 | see where Yeah , it's not presenting the slide real | |
26:58 | quick . Give me a second . Um , yeah | |
27:03 | , so the most important thing that and we stress | |
27:06 | this over and over again probably in every session that | |
27:08 | we did . That the most important thing educators were | |
27:11 | learning isn't about the new technology tools or integration or | |
27:14 | pedagogical frameworks or new adoptions . It's all it is | |
27:18 | and always has been the students in their care . | |
27:20 | And so that was important for us to show that | |
27:23 | transition of , regardless of whatever we're using , we | |
27:27 | can do trainings and kind of have discussions about how | |
27:29 | certain tools work and what you click and what you | |
27:31 | don't click . But really it comes down to how | |
27:34 | do you find out about your students in order to | |
27:36 | help support them ? Um , from that , that's | |
27:40 | kind of us in a nutshell , I do want | |
27:42 | to share or do you want to thank Michel Rolland | |
27:44 | kevin Gully though , from our C o E , | |
27:46 | it was amazing to have a background , um , | |
27:49 | and be able to knock some ideas off of folks | |
27:52 | within our own district in similar roles because one of | |
27:56 | the interesting things that we found really quickly is when | |
27:59 | you've been , when you have anything to do with | |
28:01 | technology in your title in a time , like we're | |
28:04 | in right now , you sort of feel like you're | |
28:07 | in an island in some cases , so that was | |
28:09 | huge . Um , and really , do you mean | |
28:12 | it from the bottom of my heart ? That was | |
28:13 | amazing . There's times where like I gotta , I | |
28:15 | gotta go see what myriad is doing or some of | |
28:18 | our neighborhood districts because that was awesome , you know | |
28:22 | , an awesome experience . And I think we'll keep | |
28:24 | having those collaborations so we can kind of keep learning | |
28:27 | from each other . Like , like we say we | |
28:29 | should be doing with our students as well , kevin | |
28:33 | , Do you have any parting thoughts before we get | |
28:36 | out of here on this session ? No , I | |
28:38 | want to thank Eddie for providing the time really , | |
28:42 | just to have Ryan present , I mean , did | |
28:45 | an exceptional job , you know , for the riverside | |
28:48 | county office of Education . You know . Again , | |
28:50 | our perspective was ensuring that we can share and exchange | |
28:54 | information and resources amongst each other in this digital platform | |
28:58 | with canvas . So as I said , Ryan has | |
29:01 | done a fantastic job as well as the other districts | |
29:04 | involved and we just look forward to future collaboration and | |
29:08 | success with it and providing kids the tools that they | |
29:12 | need and the resources . I love it . You | |
29:15 | guys are definitely your shining in a place again , | |
29:17 | that's the weird time and people again , I you | |
