47:05
Hi Kenton!

47:09
Open breakfast and virtual meals are great way to connect with students.

47:22
Hi Shir!

47:37
My advisees love having breakfast and lunch. I also have open “office hours”

47:38
New version of clubs for socializing

47:47
Encouraging service (and sharing what they do) is great way to build connections.

47:49
Hi Kenton and Shir!

47:57
I really enjoyed Keshet’s flip coin alien genetics - you rock!

48:19

49:49
Thanks, Candi!

50:05
I have also done this on Google forms

50:16
Coloring Contests and share pics

50:19
How about a board of Happy / funny thoughts

50:26

52:05
Bear with him, he is taking us on a trip

52:19
We did a social distancing mom contest as well

52:25
*meme

52:29
What might this (creating connections) look like with our youngest learners?

52:43
I was so interested in what the social distancing mom contest was!

53:00
I teach 3yr olds-2nd grade and we have been working really hard on moving together, singing, reading and sharing our art together

53:23
Meme contest are a great way to engage kids.

53:44
Liz, what platform do you use for sharing?

53:57
As a school we are using google meet

54:06
Are we supposed to see something else? I see the sprirt week slide?

54:06
kids can bring something representing their day after class. 2-3 seem to like making something to show friends.

54:14
We played freeze dance today…with varying degrees of success

54:18

54:40
The teachers record / film, and we all invited to do it

54:49
Love all of these ideas!

55:09
me too, thank you!

55:22
Get experts from your community to do a Zoom chat with your students.

55:59
I made a video for parents about creating an inspiration box for their kids and we will be using them in class and having students “give” an item to a friend to use to create a piece of art

56:12
I invited my advisees to bring their pets to our synchronous advising session on Monday!

56:16
Reach out to experts who relate to your clubs to come and do a virtual workshop

56:26
Hi - great question. Feel free to put this to all webinar participants, because I’d be interested in hearing other’s ideas. It certainly gets harder with larger groups.

56:56
Laura, you can do a lot of these ideas using Zoom or Google Hangouts.

57:22
My school would like to use Zoom but not sure about the privacy issues

57:27
Before we left school, I filmed the kids participating in their warm-up in PE. It is on their PE page and they can see themselves and their friends when they were all together.

57:30
Zoom Webinar works better for larger groups of students than meetings

57:30
is anyone using Zoom with their students?

57:36
Yes, we've been told we can't use Zoon

57:41
Zoom

57:42
We used zoom for our large all school meeting today and used a waiting room

57:44
We are using zoom for all of our class sessions

57:55
I use zoom

57:57
following many safety protocals

57:57
But for classes we are using google meet for classes

57:57
Be sure to use the waiting room with Zoom!

58:02
Facetiming students to celebrate college acceptances

58:06
We are using Google Hangout for live synchronous classes

58:09
We’ve seen recommendations now for folks to include a password on their Zoom sessions

58:13
The grid view extension makes google meet so much easier

58:15
Zoom has been responding to these concerns and built in some additional privacy but still unsure if it is hack-proof for sure

58:19
Why waiting room?

58:21
Given the spate of “Zoombombers”

58:31
Connect families to virtual concerts/events still happening.

58:32
So you don’t get hacked by outsiders

58:47
Can’t use Hangouts with kids under 13 yrs old

58:48
I would be flatter ..

58:50
LOL

58:56
The waiting room let’s you grant or deny access to make sure the members are actual students

58:58
Good one!

59:13
Zoom breakout rooms can be ways to help students meet together.

59:20
A Zoom webinar is safer, and no outside can’t “hack” in, because only a host can share screen. A Zoom meeting should probably have a password.

59:28
Yes- I do that daily - helpful..

59:33
Keep students connected with peers by asking them to do small group projects

01:00:08
I am working on making our readers theater play into a movie. I’ll have the kids record their lines and then we will edit it together

01:00:13
Our English teacher asks them” what have you done for others” in the last couple of days..

01:00:45

Daily breather.

01:02:29
Change phone email settings so you only see personal email nights/weekends

01:02:30
I have been randomly calling friends we don't see often via FaceTime. Adding that face to face has made me feel less isolated.

01:02:33

We will share the slides, the recording and the transcript from the chat after this webinar.

01:03:05
As Chris mentioned, we will give you the full chat after the webinar.

01:03:29
Clear boundaries when you are available and when you are not

01:03:41
Using email instead of texting helps disconnect.

01:04:06

Compliments Board gone digital! Keeping the kindness focus going. Connects staff in an intentional way.

01:06:31
Might be awesome to have one of our music teachers to lead a "drumming circle" for teachers.

01:06:34
Thank you!!!

01:06:41
Maintaining connections with people who are not always with us. Providing space for parents to gather virtually
