What are we doing today?

This was probably my least favorite question in the classroom (followed by “I’m done, what do I do now?”).  Alice Keeler has some great suggestions in this blog post to assist your students.  Try numbering assignments (and linking to them), creating a daily agenda message in STREAM (see her suggestion to duplicate the tab to make things easier), and consider adding a video message.  While I realize we are closing in on the end of the year- I see this as a trial period when I can experiment and fine tune things for the next year.
