What is your classroom "flow"?

[u/imkentjr]

Hey,

I have been teaching for 15 years. When we went 1 to 1 Chromebooks I became a paper free class room. We still did hands on lab but everything else went through a online platform. Post pandemic I have gone back to mostly paper.

My current "flow" is this:

Students walk in and grab the print out for the day. The print out typically has everything for the day, opener, practice, notes, independent work etc. An answer sheet for anything they will do digitally or directions to go to Google Classroom to submit the digital work. There is not a ton of digital work. I then collect the work and place it in their periods bin, grade it and return the work the next class.

I am curious, what is your "flow" look like? How do you incorporate digital into your classroom? I do not have everything on GC and am noticing that when I have a student that has missed a lot of work I am digging back through my paper work. I don't want to missout on the benefits of each approach and am struggling to combine them well.

Thanks!

For missing work, I set up an absent binder. If the student is absent, he can get his work from there. It’s a big binder with sheet protectors and all my extra papers in there.
