Before you pick tools for distance learning think about these key decisions and factors.
Distance learning is different than just trying to replicate classroom instruction online. Especially in the context of the quarantine.
How will you provide a consistent schedule and clear communication of expectations and due dates?
How will you maintain your relationship with students?
Think about the key pieces of learning and focus on those without trying to do everything you did in a normal setting.
Distance learning takes students longer
Provide for students who can only work asynchronously and sporadically
Take care of yourself and your loved ones
We are not trying to create the best distance learning program, we are trying to support families in a time of a global crisis creating massive upheaval in people’s lives.
This means we need to be even more responsive to the needs of the most vulnerable.
