"When it comes to distance learning there is one really important thing to remember. Experts say you cannot expect kids to get the same amount of work done that they can normally do at school. Students might be taking care of siblings, fixing food, taking care of a parent or relative. Things might be stressful, or distracting at home. There could be financial issues. If things aren't normal, we can’t expect normal from students, nor can districts expect normal from teachers."

• David Theriault, High School English Teacher

Statement about remote learning expectations

We are remote learning pioneers. The terrain is rocky and the destination is still a little unknown. However, here is what we do know:

• Kids love to learn and whether they will admit it or not, they miss their teachers and classmates. Let's first focus on the student, teacher, and family well being and connections.
• Students all have different learning environments. Let's be mindful of equity, accessibility, and opportunity. There are many ways to connect, find the way that works for you and your students. It's not about the web tool, it's about the connection.
• You are masterful at the craft of teaching. Use what you already know. Slowly integrate new ideas. We are all on a steep learning curve in regards to technology, but we are experts in teaching and learning.
• We are better together. Help each other out. Continue to collectively support all the students in our community by supporting each other.
• Finally, just like classroom teaching, there is no one right way to do this. Find your style, your groove. Put your personality into your classroom. You got this!

Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool with a local, desktop client and a mobile app that allows users to meet online, with or without video.

​

Zoom users can collaborate on projects, and share or annotate on one another’s screens, all with one easy-to-use platform.

How to use video conferencing

Recording live Hangouts or Zoom meetings is not allowed

What would this look like?

Things to consider:

​

• Once a week?
• During regular class time?
• For how long?
• What will be the structure of the time?
• How will student privacy be maintained?
• What happens if students misbehave?
