I love the breakout rooms! I've actually shared a breakout room link with each pupil and they post independently and then I use the slide presentation feature to collaborate and bring ideas together ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿค“

I love using Brisk to create Google Forms, but sometimes I want my Google Form to be based on multiple sources of information. Here's how easy it is to make and combine Google Form quizzes with Brisk and Form Import. #GoogleEdu #Brisk #GoogleForms @briskteaching.bsky.social

It was great seeing @padlet.com at BETT to brainstorm about sandbox pads & breakout links. I've created my first Digital Whiteboard Padlet from this discourse; I'm trialling it tomorrow. I don't like digital boards where students can see/edit eachother's work before I say so ๐Ÿ™ˆ #edtech #organisedfun

If the coaching is more around Admin work or deadlines etc, then some micromanagement needs to be put in place, e.g. regular meetings in between data points etc. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell sometimes whether they are overwhelmed/struggling or just not working hard enough. True in any job.

Arguably, it needs to become a more formal process. Forms stress people out, so as a mentor I would ask the trainee to write a simple goal on a post it note & they'd show me before the lesson & stick it to their desk. It's hard to remember everything but the note was a good trigger reminder.

Personally, I teach my students to consider whether the focus is narrative in their point or industry, e.g. when commenting on gender, or ethnicity as a choice by producers, they've chosen this actor. But narrative and camera shots are focusing on power, representation of character...
