Navigating through Virtual Instruction
Thank you for rising to the job of navigating in these uncertain times. Figuring out your first few moves can help. Maybe you’ll use a video conferencing, a collaborative document, or other digital tools to engage your students. Great teachers of the past have used chalkboard and chalk, or circular tables and folding chairs, proving that it doesn’t really matter what you use to teach, so long as you understand that you’re trying to connect. We are here to support you as we travel this new journey. Below you will find a few juicy tidbits from each of us in the Teaching and Learning Team.
