Blog this week about what’s on your mind and what you’ve learned from this program that’s helped you transition to remote learning. What insights do you want to share with others, your administration, etc.
Many things have changed in the past month or so. I would not have ever guessed that I would be where I am right now. Thankfully this program has been preparing me for this moment all along and I did not even realize it. Our distance learning plan has us using google classroom, zoom and possibly screencasts. Before this program I only ever used google classroom. After going through this program I have been using screencast and zoom all the time. Because of this, I am prepared for the technical aspect of this new distance learning. I can create a screencast for anything that I need to explain to my classes now through screencastomatic and not have to take a million years. I can use zoom easily and know how to set my own zoom room up, which I will have to do with my students. When it comes to the content, I do not have an option of teaching what I want though so I am limited on being able to make innovative lessons. As an 8th grade science teacher I am forced to teach exactly what was given to me. However, I will be trying to use screencasts as a way to “flip” the classroom and give them a lot of the content before so we can spend the 20 minutes of zoom time discussing it. The next months are going to be a wild ride and I am ready for whatever comes my way.
