Second day of classes and use of Jamboards for classroom norms

     In my STEAM class, I want student to incorporate the 4 C's 21st century skills of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. The challenge how these skills are expressed in a 100% virtual classroom and how to start students on this pathway. A great way to get students to start using the 4 C's by setting up classroom norms via Jamboard.  Below I examples of my students work from 6th, 7th, 8th grades and I want to highlight the best aspects of the 4 C's in my class. In-class activity for the students used Jamboard as the platform for students to break into groups of 3-4 students for expressing their norms on the board. Then students added backgrounds, images, drawings, and writing to mold the boards into their individual self expression. 

Creativity

Classroom norms from my 6th graders and the unique drawing of student at a desk shows a lot of creativity when using simple paint tools. Also, the creativity in use of sizes and colors of sticky notes to write messages. Also, students were able to express themselves during the in-class activity. 
 

Critical Thinking 

7th grade students classroom norms and this board utilized images to illustrate their norms and best practices for the virtual classroom setting. The students use the features of Jamboard to create a cohesive board and clear set of classroom norms. 

Communication 

Interesting way of communication between this 6th grade group focusing on kindness and respect as the central stance of their classroom norms. 

Collaboration 

8th grade students utilizing shapes and grouping to create a cohesive board about classroom norms. Students brought their ideas to board and use of collaboration with students in the bottom left corner working to make norms together.
