Replying to @Firas_Atraqchi
@Firas_Atraqchi: Something we should keep is how much we've cared about the process of teaching and learning - the passion and dedication to embrace students despite difficulties we experience as teachers. Moving forward, keep this community alive. #CLTSymposium @CLTAUC

Replying to @NadineElSayed
@NadineElSayed "Zoom forced me to think of new ways to keep students engaged and encourage active-learning, and they were very receptive. This is one thing I’d love to keep after this is ‘over’" @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium

Focusing now not just about cognitive development, but social and psychological development and physical development, focusing on the "whole student" not just "student learner" and this is a shift in identity as a teacher - Michelle Henry #CLTSymposium @CLTAUC

One faculty member (L Gaafar, engineering) says if they had to choose to be w students w masks on (not recognizing them) versus meet on Zoom and see their faces, he would choose Zoom! And the affordance of accessibility to students of being online #CLTSymposium @CLTAUC

Replying to @Firas_Atraqchi
@Firas_Atraqchi talks about importance to make connections with students and reveal our vulnerabilities, make it easier for students to bond with us - and we should take this into our new/next normal. #CLTSymposium @CLTAUC

Jillian Campana talks about "mirror neurons" and sometimes online learning means we got to know our students better, there was maybe some intimacy that cameras on gave us - how can we "lose the distance" in f2f! Students @AUC enjoy making connections w profs @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium

Magda Mostafa reminds us to remember some ppl have not had any education due to lack of digital/internet access this last year, not everyone is able-bodied, neurotypical, etc. #CLTSymposium @CLTAUC

Replying to @NadineElSayed
@NadineElSayed reminds us that hard-of-hearing people who are used to reading lips, cannot do this when others are wearing masks! And when other students have cameras off! #CLTSymposium @CLTAUC

so sweet of @andrewdempsey to raise hand even though he did not have a question... so panelists do not feel bad that there are no questions :) and use that time to thank them for a great panel @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium

What do students get in class that they cannot get online? It's important to compare giving students the choice vs the faculty member deciding for them paraphrasing Brian Beatty @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium

Hyflex: Make sure you keep track of which students you are interacting with and asking (keep a roster) - make intentional effort to draw in both in-person AND online students and use breakouts so they interact with each other Says Brian Beatty @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium

Brian Beatty recommends checking out Eric Whittaker's "virtual choir" (probably really hard to do!) e.g. there are lots of online art classes then it is possible! even if it was difficult to imagine before @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium

"If it is difficult to teach online, it is difficult to teach Hyflex. Not necessarily impossible, but may need parts to not be fully Hyflex" Brian Beatty @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium

Several faculty talk about value of one-on-one office hours with students for connecting with students deeply and intimately @CLTAUC #CLTSymposium I agree completely... makes all the difference!
