A4: In the digital world, we use Jamboard, Flipgrid, Gimkit, Legends of Learning, Kahoot...the list is endless. I assign things that allow them to do hands on activities like drawing, creating posters, building. They take picture or video to share. #whatisschool

A5: Instructional teams have used Kahoot and Jamboard. They also often use the competitive edge to make it more fun. #whatisschool

A1: I have learned we are all in the boat together, and this boat is not sinking! This boat is sailing across the water as we support each other, communicate effectively, and build relationships that focus on student needs. #InnovatingPlay

A2: We encourage positive socialization, build on routines, and make a point to let them know a bad mood or day does not need to color everything. There are positives in everyday and we intentionally share those together. #InnovatingPlay

A3: We use a grab bag full of platforms in class for SEL. Something we love to use are sticky notes in Jamboard to share positivity. Before COVID, we would use Take What You Need bulletin boards, and this draws on that while allowing them to share as well. #InnovatingPlay
