This link should work for everyone

You won't have the ability to edit. Only view

The WhatsApp script is the one that we need permission to view.

If you want to make a copy, go to File - Make a Copy and you will have the ability to edit. (Your own version)

We already had that one Jeff. THis is the one we don't have access to: Whatsapp script: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V4AUnNh3EYPcKkLmpRaonmL9i_F-r37Q/view?usp=sharing

I need permission to the WhatsApp script and it said I needed permission, too. My email is tbabin@qmail.qcc.edu

Wow - the colour coding of all the info is really interesting. Did that work well for people? Seems like a great idea.

for students with limited English literacy, color coding and use of emojis and pictures is great.

what is +*?

Sorry, my daughter was hitting keys.

LOL ok great.

This is fascinating and so helpful!

This is a great idea! Is the PD all chat (text and images) or also pre-recorded video or live video or audio with the group? Are learners online at the same time (sync) or just catching things when they can?

how did you know that attendees used WhatsApp already?

Did the participants access whatsApp with smartphones or feature phones or both?

I would love to hear any thoughts/reflections you have on how to condense content for this format and/or prioritize which type of content is best for this modality of training. (Really thinking a lot about how to do short form content trainings and what processes might be most efficient for the development of this type of modality.)

Sorry what is a feature phone?

Ah thanks!

Jeff, that's still the same doc we already had access to

Yes...there's only one document.

OH! Got it. Only one doc. :)

This is the open version once again -- https://bit.ly/dessPDwa

As a teacher, we used to have a form when we were in the physical classroom but on-line we don’t (yet!)

Destiny and Amy, some adult ed teachers are now recording and uploading their in-person our remote classes so that students can access the recordings, especially if they were not able to attend. I am wondering if this observation tool has used — or could take advantage of classroom recordings, so that the observer who might not be able to observe a class in real time could observe the recording?

This is great, Destiny--thank you so much! I'm observing a teacher next week and will use/adapt this immediately!

Great tools!

Thank yyou.

Thank Thank you so much for such important, useful information!

@Lee - that's great to hear you'll be using it right away!

Great presentations. Thank you so much!
