Karen Carmean asked a great question in my little #AskBenW project. It was this: How do we know people are listening / engaging, especially when so many things are digital/ online?
I’m curious to hear from other folks, how do you go about engaging kids in the classroom both online and offline?
Elisa Cohen, those a great suggestions! You have really gotten concrete and specific in your expectations and I think that helps kids to know exactly what skills to use for a given situation.
I moved my classroom around as well and now I have a “loop around the horseshoe” so that I can quickly see what all students are doing on their iPads when I’m on the outside and then they face inside for Socratic convos. Placement is so key :0 great Idea Elisa !
