Hello from NYC

Joselyn’s center is in Massachusetts

Please everyone - chat questions for Joselyn

We had to check to see which agencies were still operating

Lawrence, MA

Did teachers use these tools before COVID-19 closures?

I didn't use any tech before. My classroom I had was devoid of current tech.

Are you able to teach students online forms required by the different agencies?

Hi Jocelyn:

Are you able to bring in "guest speakers" from different agencies who can provide information virtually (not just send documents)

We've heard that some students are confused by the difference between stimulus and unemployment checks. Have you deal with this?

Have you been able to work with incarcerated students?

Have you found that students are not able to pay for their housing?

I think this is also a lot of new vocabulary specific to task which is what I was getting into before we were all shut down.

Can you speak more about the balance between supporting connection/checking in and not overwhelming students. What guidance do you give to teachers?

Google classroom is difficult for students. It's hard to help the students navigate even when they do speak English.

How much do I wish that there was a way to hide phone numbers in WhatsApp in a group. It’s my preference but due to privacy issues can’t use.

You can get a Google voice phone number. I have one. You use your personal google account!

You could use Google Voice for privacy and text students

Google voice works for phone calls but not text. If you text, it shows your real number.

For myself that works but students can see other students phone numbers

It prompts you through step by step. It was very easy. Students can text me and leave voice mail just like normal.

Can you share the housing resources?

Thank you Joselyn!

I don't know how you would remedy that with that app for the students as well. I don't have to worry about that with the Google classroom because the "classroom stream" is like facebook where they can communicate freely without phone numbers.

Thanks Joselyn!

You are welcome

I was wondering about Google Meets/Hangouts. Is there a way we can sign on?

I use Google Meet. It's useful.

cell-ed.org

It's like Zoom.

is Google Meet free?

YES

We use meet too. It’s great because most students have a google account. I don’t think you can use individual chat like with zoom. With Microsoft teams, you can pause the live video feed.

Please chat your questions to Jessica. What do you want to know about Cell-Eds coaching and text enabled learning?

I don't think I can start a Google meet then go individual. I can block a student for being inappropriate.

Can you talk about how you make information accessible for students at "zero level" (no English; no first language literacy"

I have been using the Chat with my students. I am teaching them how to chat in Zoom. I do teach HiSET/GED level students though but I think if you teach even the literacy level, you can do it. Their children and grandchildren can be a great resource for assisting our adult learners with navigating the individual chat.

Thanks for the wesite!

Can you talk about how Cell Ed is evidence-based? How you know effective learning is happening for students who use it?

Do learners need an account code to get into the COVID courses?

Can Cell-Ed users talk with a coach by phone? If so, how does that work? Are there office hours?

Can you tell us how much the licenses are for a class or for individuals?

Can you tell us about what work-contextualized English language learning Cell-Ed offers now or plans to offer?

Jessica, has Cell-Ed been used in family literacy context? With parents and children? Can you speak more about about that?

I worked with my 5 year old grandson the other day and now whenever I FaceTime my daughter and him, he asks if we can work on our letters. My daughter texted me that I made it interactive and fun for him. We should be able to do similar lessons with our literacy students for advising as well as teaching them.

I am looking forward to trying this with my students.

The Cell-Ed.
