Welcome to everyone! Lauren and I are happy you are here. We hope you can have at least 1 take away from today's session to apply to whatever course(s) you teach. Welcome!

Please mute your computers until speaking :)

I teach writing. At the beginning of the semester we discuss how to get good at any skill, whether sports, music, art, or writing etc.

We teach GRIT in our curriculum as a foundational start to the course.

I find that when they are successful, they become more motivated as their confidence grows. I love it when they realize that learning can be fun.

Also teaching our faculty to give grace, show empathy, and be vulnerable with your students. Bene Brown has a great video I can send to you all.

please send the link, Marci!

For my online students, I try to comment on their first set of assignments so that they know I'm a real person they can contact.

­­­­­I like that..."the power of 'yet'".

My online students are required to be on teams and produce videos where they discuss class material - then I comment on their discussion

BTW, this week's Monday Mentor has a great exploration of online, interactive apps. Definitely related to enhancing relationships, academics, relationships.

CTAT sent out email to RSCC folks today.

I'm curious if you have analytics, Nancy, on how many students open and use the tilted instruction guides.

The way you do ungrading is an interesting take. Definitely have to try that.

For tcher/student data chats, having preplan sheet is helpful... with questions/statements so students can think about that ungrading or/"what I learned" before the chat.

In my online sections I add discussions by the base groups- then it allows them to "talk" through the topics with their base groups.

For my asynchronous section, Marci, I have CTAT set those base groups up, too, but I'll remind you about the 5 apps in this week's Monday Mentor. They have interactive methods students can collaborate, and the presenter shares authentic tips.

That's an excellent idea, Marci! Everyone, if you see comments from Ashley, Ann, etc., please reach out to these folks joining our session today. They are the experts :)

The beauty of community college... ability to have smaller classes and get to know our students.

Yes, Ann. We have such opportunity in front of us!

I create a videos on Fridays for my on-line students and they seem to like this- which gives them information. Also this is when I asked students to please email me and we can set-up another time to meet individually, via Zoom, or phone, or in person.

This is a great idea, Nancy!

I think I'm going to have to do this for my online students. Some of them get overwhelmed before reading the instructions.

I tried the checklist, but I only had 2 or 3 students who actually used it. 🥲

For my asynchronous, Wed. Round Up vids summarizes & reminds due dates (what to do now'or 'how to do' reminders).

Do you keep the weekly folders open after you assign them?

This has been so helpful, so very applicable, Nancy & Lauren. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you, this was useful!

What I'll do is have extra assignment built in that replaces similar assignments to make up for one or two assignments they have missed.

Mine online students have 3 attempts on each quiz and I tell them it's practice for the tests - its very low stakes.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!

Thanks ladies! Enjoy your weeks!
