Going Virtual
Mrs. Lendry, at Southside Elementary School, shared her distance learning classroom setup. Here is a picture of my virtual classroom set up. She has enjoyed working with her 2nd-grade students through Canvas and Teams.
Virtual Learning
Whether on-campus or learning virtual, students in Mrs. Whicker's class are still showcasing their work in the hallways of Emma Love Hardee Elementary. The distance learning students' first online assignment, "All About Me", became posters that hung in the hallway.

Making Virtual Happen
Callahan Elementary is proud of all of their teachers and were happy with their awesome distance learning teachers kicking off the first week of school virtual style. These teachers are so dedicated and positive. They have spent countless hours prepping for student assessments, creating Canvas courses, communicating with parents, and being creative when plans didn't happen as expected. At Callahan Elementary, they had four virtual classrooms with a total of 93 students.

Virtual Guest
David Shiffman, an interdisciplinary marine conservation biologist, whose research focuses on the ecology and conservation of chondrichthyan fishes, was a virtual guest speaker for the 7th-grade Gifted Science class at Fernandina Beach Middle. The students researched Mr. Shiffman prior to the visit to learn more about him and generate questions to ask him.
On the day of the visit, they met in the Media Center and had a virtual session with Mr. Shiffman. He spoke about his educational background, how he got into the field of researching sharks, some of his favorite memories from his career, and more. The students asked him a variety of questions about his research, his favorite sharks, and of course his feelings towards shark week.
Everyone enjoyed his visit and he is highly recommended to schedule having him "visit" your classroom. He is providing this service for free for public schools. His email is david.shiffman@gmail.com.
