Just a bit of zoom burnout. YES, trust! 12:54:18 From Lance Eaton (he/him) to Everyone: Resource Link: https://bit.ly/UMDKeynote 12:56:56 From Lance Eaton (he/him) to Everyone: Activity #1: Discussion Practices - https://bit.ly/UMDActivity1 Activity #2: Group and Learning Activities - https://bit.ly/UMDActivity2 Activity #3: Collaborative Tools - https://bit.ly/UMDCollaborate Activity #4: Pedagogies of care in hybrid spaces - https://bit.ly/UMDJamboard Activity #5: Self-Directed Learning Opportunities - https://bit.ly/UMDActivity5 12:59:11 From Jay Zysk (he/his) to Everyone: Room 1, please 12:59:21 From Lisa Dumont to Everyone: room 2 13:18:11 From Rachel Rebello to Everyone: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b6Nn8e8BixlkWGcr_15FjrBuXDY6rmbk02jj11cajMY/edit 13:53:07 From Aleta Deyo to Everyone: I enjoyed using the jamboard - I will use that in my class 13:53:18 From Elisabeth Arruda to Everyone: Gallery walk is something I’ve always thought about but hadn’t tried. I liked seeing it in person 13:54:01 From Jay Zysk (he/his) to Everyone: I think the Popcorn technique provides a very intuitive, efficient way to generate discussion across of (or in any) modalities 13:54:11 From Julie Bowman to Everyone: 1. Totally taking the idea to have students call on the next speaker and using it regularly. It worked well in our group. 13:55:06 From Laura Franz (she/her) to Everyone: Q#1: Popcorn activity = as a student, time and staying on topic is important. As instructor, be a tougher moderator if needed. Impossible Challenge = I learned a lot from my colleagues, but there wasn’t much group-work/talking happening if any. So does talking matter as much as I think it does? Scavenger Hunt: I was disappointed it wasn’t fun and active. The task didn’t match the title. Be careful how I name things! Overall bopping around = too chaotic for me. Not enough time to process info between activities. 13:55:25 From Julie Bowman to Everyone: 2. The Scavenger Hunt idea surprised me, one I will think about how to use to engage students. 13:55:34 From Rachel Rebello to Everyone: Karen and I are chomping at the bit to talk more... :) 13:58:58 From Kristen Sethares to Everyone: I felt like there was so much information almost too much to take in. I did not have a chance to absorb much of it but would like to have the resources available. 13:59:00 From Shannon (she/her) Avery-Desmarais, PhD, NP to Everyone: So much to learn to improve my teaching practice. The way it’s always been done is not always the best way. Teaching is about the students, not the professor. 13:59:01 From Karen Abbondanza to Everyone: I really feel excited to stat the spring term as I am finishing up two online classes today-seeing students in person! 13:59:01 From Damon Gatenby to Everyone: if nothing else Today was a great day to see colleagues I have not see in many many months or longer. With the world in lock down and remote we need more interaction and community. 13:59:01 From Lorraine Heffernan to Everyone: Excellent ideas. I like the range of options out there and the advice to choose one or two techniques/tools and commit to getting good at it. 13:59:01 From Rachel Rebello to Everyone: Popcorn discussions - keeping it to 1 minute was tricky but important because I can see how capping someone's time makes them eager to finish and contribute more. Jamboard - I could see this as a semester long project or "heat map" for meeting course objectives. (E.g., Add what you learn as you learn it well.) Connecting students to discussion topics and projects on a personal level.... How does this topic relate to their own life experiences, what can they contribute from their perspective? 13:59:01 From Lisa Dumont to Everyone: engaging, motivational, wonderful, can’t wait to begin new activities, powerful, thankful to be apart of this wonderful community, enlightening. 13:59:01 From Kiley Medeiros to Everyone: It was a little difficult at first navigating and figuring out where to go. I also realized I missed messaged sent by the facilitator. 13:59:01 From Caroline Gelmi (she/her) to Everyone: Lots of resources, techniques, and possibilities to consider. Always feel overwhelming because I want to try everything but that never works. Need to consider more carefully what I want to bring into my teaching this semester. Also, I have even more respect for students who went through the transition to remote learning now 13:59:01 From John Buck (he/him) to Everyone: Found myself confronting how exhausting I’ve found forays into hyflex and dreading needing to use it again. I really prefer f2f and have become better at running online, but trying to balance emotional connections with all students in hyflex is really hard 13:59:01 From Michelle Glowny she/her/hers to Everyone: So many resources - need to think about which ones I want to explore and incorporate into my class! 13:59:01 From Jay Zysk (he/his) to Everyone: Continually inspired by the level of dedication to innovation in scholarship and teaching on the part of UMassD faculty… this is always an inspiring day. … Will use the popcorn technique often in class this semester… Also need to be very mindful of how I present instructions to students… somethings bears repeating and relying on students simply to read the instructions may not be enough. 13:59:01 From Laura Franz (she/her) to Everyone: Its the end of a long day, I don’t want to write. 13:59:01 From Elisabeth Arruda to Everyone: I like the moment for reflection and another for writing 13:59:02 From Elizabeth Lehr to Everyone: thinking about an end goal and creating a list of self-directed tasks to get the student there may solve a problem I've been working on, although it's not about hybrid. 13:59:02 From Aleta Deyo to Everyone: it is so hard to get to these places wherec we have the opportunity to share our thoughts and techniques I wish it would last longer 13:59:02 From elizabeth chin to Everyone: I need to trust the my creative ideas for classroom activities will be accepted by the students and not be hesitant to try new things- so what if it doesn’t go over well. 13:59:02 From Eiichiro Kazumori to Everyone: I learned several techniques that I can use in the class. 13:59:03 From Yoon Soo Lee (she/her) to Everyone: We are not alone. We are more alike than not. Sharing is good. Group work is hard but really needed. Giving gratitude to the humans that I know and don’t know that are around me. Loneliness can be remediated by connecting. Thank you for having this recent! 13:59:06 From Sandra Rivera to Everyone: So many ideas that I will like to incorporate and use but I have 3 different Spanish levels...oh God 13:59:09 From Tom Hertweck to Everyone: Completely charmed by the experience of doing this online with everyone since circumstances dictated that I register for remote access to begin with—there’s an interesting solidarity that comes from this shift. Happy to make possible the kinds of fellowship we get there! 13:59:10 From Viviane Faria (she/ela/ella) to Everyone: Today’s conference was really eye-opening in the sense that I need to do more research and be better able to define my pedagogical approach 13:59:13 From Megan Dawe to Everyone: The complexities and competing needs of the different folks involved in teaching during a pandemic can sometimes feel like they are working against each other. I need to take a step back sometimes and acknowledge that it won't be perfect and that is fine. 14:02:20 From Lance Eaton (he/him) to Everyone: McSweeney's satire https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/how-we-will-separate-you-from-any-lingering-hope-and-other-important-topics-of-todays-faculty-meeting 14:04:52 From John Buck (he/him) to Everyone: Thanks Lance! 14:05:00 From Yoon Soo Lee (she/her) to Everyone: Thank you Lance!!!! 14:05:00 From Viviane Faria (she/ela/ella) to Everyone: Thank you, Lance! 14:05:03 From Lorraine Heffernan to Everyone: Thank you! 14:05:08 From Caroline Gelmi (she/her) to Everyone: Thank you, Lance! 14:05:08 From Monika Schuler (she/her) to Everyone: thank you 14:05:17 From Andrew Hinote to Everyone: Thank you, Lance!! 14:05:17 From Kiley Medeiros to Everyone: Thank you Lance! 14:05:20 From Eiichiro Kazumori to Everyone: Thank you very much. 14:05:32 From Yoon Soo Lee (she/her) to Everyone: Thank you Jay! 14:06:27 From Lance Eaton (he/him) to Everyone: that's my group! any 6am writers? :) 14:07:16 From Lisa Dumont to Everyone: thank you 14:07:22 From Yuan Zhang to Everyone: Thank you 14:07:23 From Karen Abbondanza to Everyone: This was a gift-to see all so committed to changing lives, one at a time, through their own disciplines, and the ministry of teaching. Lance you are so much fun, and clearly were born to do what you do-well done, you! Thank you so much, and please all, stay safe! 14:07:28 From Sandra Rivera to Everyone: Thank you to all the people involved in thie development of this conference. Lance you have been an inspiration! 14:09:21 From BiYong Luo to Everyone: Thank you all! 14:09:34 From Laura Franz (she/her) to Everyone: That happens for me every year. Leave with renewed energy.
