So as of tomorrow, I am a distance teacher. My students are at home and our classes will take place virtually. There is so much responsibility for all of this if it is to work. I thought I might chronicle this journey (since I never used this blog for anything else) and see if my insights help any other teachers.
Here is the plan:
1) I'm utilizing Google Hangouts Meet and Google Calendar to provide my students with links to our video conferencing. You can use a laptop, but I am going to use my iPad to connect with them.
2) I am going to prerecord my lessons so that after we meet for a quick discussion of homework and taking of our homework checks, the girls can go off and watch the lesson/take notes.
3) We will come back together about 30 minutes later for any questions and clarifications.
It's bare bones, but that's the plan. I'm going to need to come up with some interesting things so that we don't get bored. It's a long time. :)
