Teachers use stickers to boost remote learning
"Sometimes I feel like I’m just talking to myself," one teacher said.

Krista Coletti, a fifth-grade teacher in Indiana, saw the idea and decided to try it with her students, who are in a hybrid model of learning remotely and in-person.
\"As soon as I pulled the stickers out, the kids, of course loved it. What kid wouldn’t want to see stickers on their teacher?\" said Coletti, who teaches at Horizon Elementary School in Mishawaka, Indiana. \"I immediately heard from kids I don’t normally hear from.\"

Coletti said she also noticed her students seemed to absorb the lesson better the more they became engaged. By the end of the school day, Coletti and two other teachers who saw her doing it and were inspired to follow were covered in stickers.
\"We’re working our tails off,\" she said of herself and her fellow teachers. \"We’re trying our best and the kids are trying their best and the parents are trying their best.\"
Arber Tasimi, a first-year psychology professor at Emory University, said he too saw the sticker idea on Twitter and decided to give it a try with his undergraduate students.
\"This is a new system for us all, both teachers and students,\" he said. \"And just like [students] are trying to navigate this space, so are we as teachers.\"

Tasimi said that he too heard from students who had not spoken up in previous classes by simply using stickers on his face as an incentive.
\"The broader lesson is step outside the box and be creative, and also share your creativity with others,\" he said. \"One teacher shared this effective method with the rest of us.\"
In response to Moon's tweet, another teacher later shared that she was now using pipe cleaners in her hair to encourage students to turn on their cameras and speak up in class.
The stickers started to irritate skin 😳 so we moved on to pipe cleaners in hair! Huge HIT! We recommend 👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/Cn9gdnkekU

\"It shows that we’re all doing all we can to get involved,\" said Moon. \"We’re all finding ways to engage students.\"
