Hi from Delaware DOC Education Department

Hi from Delaware

Even just getting audio to work is a hurdle.

Yes, I could write a book.

Yes.. We need Ebony here to hold this together!

Please chat your questions here.

Everyone needs time to think when asked a question. Especially if asked "Are there any questions?

Ashly, from your experience are there ways that team teaching helps to increase students’ engagement in learning?

This might be a question for the end of the presentation - it is not relevANT TO THE CURRENT DISCUSSION

My agency is ver concerned about the privacy and security of our volunteer tutors. Did you create a set of policies and procedures for the distance learning?

Other questions for these two presenters?

Can you share about the game-based learning strategies? Are they all done in the class or as homework/outside of class or a combination? I know you said that you would share more, but curious if you can share more here!

*share more in the breakout discussion

What would you like to continue from your remote teaching once you can do in-person teaching again?

I have been wishing that I could find a volunteer to help me with my virtual teaching.

https://quizizz.com/ is my favorite! Very engaging for students.

And so easy to make quizzes by using questions already made by other teachers.

Q: were there any outcomes from the distance learning experiences that stood out and perhaps surprised you? interesting things that turn out differently (good or bad) than expected when planning the sessions? (eg. like the example of how well some kids responded to it)

We are finding volunteers who love team teaching via Zoom. Some have found their place in the support role during Zoom as well as feeding notes and class materials into the Google classrooms. These are volunteers who were less secure in their facilitation skills in person but love being part of the Zoom classes in a new way.

It does take quite a bit of planning and posting of lessons etc to have a meaningful class session.

Do you know of anyone (potential volunteers) I could reach out to for assistance?

Yes! Thank you so much

i use 100% volunteers-they decide zoom, or whatsapp or whatever. GREat

Vilvi - How do you protect your volunteers’ privacy and security? Do you have procedures, policies, rules for student online behavior>

it's one-to-one. The only protection at all for us is to let our adult ESL students know that, if they misbehave in any way, they lose their tutor.

Please consider questions about this interesting use of Facebook — are you doing something similar with social media?

I imagine some sort of contract could be helpful. In it spell out exactly what you expect of the students and the volunteer. Maybe by using a Google Form? I haven’t done a contract for my students, but I may create one soon.

It’s looking like we should have a webinar on the topic of integrating volunteer tutors into remote instruction models.

Yes!

yes!!!

Yes, please!

Yes!

Please LMK if you have a speaker to recommend

For sure!

Ok.. now on to FB and learner engagement. What Qs do you have?

LCNV in VA does amazing work with volunteers -- would recommend them as potential presenter

Does anyone have suggestions regarding outreach to adults that are not tech savvy?.. no email. I work at a skills training organization teaching basic computer and job search skills.

Can they go through the steps of setting up the FB live session via zoom?

Yes… Laurice. Great idea for the breakout session.

Are your groups private or public on Facebook?

Question for the presenters -- what training (if any) did you have to provide for the live closed captioning in Zoom? And then question for the group -- Curious if anyone has anyone ever used the third-party live closed captioning option offered through Zoom and what their experience was.

How do the students get to FB? Must they have a FB account?

Rosemarie, some programs address needs of students who do not have Internet access using a combination of hard copy materials and telephone - for example teaching basic literacy, computer skills, and more. It is an art to do this well, but some programs have mastered it.

You can offer group career training or job finding classes using Freeconferencecall.com (It is free.)

You may have already covered this... How many students do you have in the group?

@ Cheri — I see in the screenshot that the group is private

ah yes Jen, thank you!

We've seen in some of our programs that learners do not necessarily get FB notifications pushed to their phone if it is disabled on their settings (of course, if they log in, they will see notification) but not necessarily get it to their phone -- do you run into this issue and do you provide support to learners on how to enable notifications?

Can you share your YouTube Channel link?

I love that you became Youtubers!!

Is all teaching done on Facebook?

Hello Denise, BSP also uses zoom and google classroom to deliver courses

What made you choose FB? Was it something your found a lot of your students were already using?

Thank you. Would most lessons be on YouTube and Facebook simultaneously?

BSP staff creates youtube vidoes on different topics and then share them on Facebook, on the app and also directly text the link to students.

Thank you!

Thank you very much.
