• Giving students a space for free responses (in EdPuzzle, PearDeck, NearPod, etc.) to give them opportunities to express confusion or ask for help.
• Be sure to explain to students & parents why you’re doing things like flipped learning.  It helps them feel more comfortable, but it also helps them see your “why.”
