[quote=Anonymous]I also teach math albeit at the middle school level.  In both my content and on my team I think we're all a little nervous about it but actually mostly excited about the change.  It gives us some opportunity to experiment and we've been working this summer to see how we can integrate new technology into what we did this spring.

I think we're going to rock it.  Our principal has been reinforcing that we did a great job this spring and that we should work on refining not completely redeveloping.  Some of the parameters are changing but we will be able to adapt.

Right now the biggest limiters seem to be connectivity issues working out of our homes.  Also some of us are lacking tools that we want like document cameras or white boards or science kits.  I went ahead and my own white board and doc camera back in the spring so I feel like I'm in good shape.  A few science teachers are hoping that they get at least a shot at running into their classrooms and grabbing a bunch of their lab tools.  I told the science teacher on my team that I will be there with my kids to help the load out if the opportunity arises.  The connectivity issue will continue to be a challenge for me because of where I live but I will have to keep crossing that bridge when it appears in front of me because I don't have any other choice.

I don't really know any teachers who are freaking out or upset.  There are one or two teachers who want to be back in school full time with full classes like the old normal but they are the outliers.  It is hard to put credence into their perspective since it goes against everything the CDC is saying about what is healthy.

All in all I think I am ready, my team is ready and my content area is ready.  We will rise to the challenge and we will totally nail it.[/quote]
