We are lucky that our students all have access to technology, and we had a pretty good online infrastructure set-up before distance learning started. We are having to get creative when it comes to group work and projects, and hands-on building, art, engineering type activities, where we don’t know what materials students have at home. I am struggling with my robotics classes, because the students don’t have robots at home. A benefit to this whole process is that the teachers at my school are definitely learning how to leverage the different tech tools and subscriptions we have always had access to, but that they weren’t using to their full potential (or at all). I am excited to see how this changes their curriculum and classroom dynamic when things go back to normal!
