[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach upper level math and found that teaching and classes were not difficult.  [b]Creating the slides and doing problems out on the computer was really cumbersome.[/b]  [/quote]

How were creating the slides cumbersome? [/b] Didn't you already have the slides?[b]  I agree working out the problems on the computer is tricky. [/quote][b]

I teach at the elementary level. There were no slideshows prepared for teachers to use. I spent so much time creating slides for both reading and math. Both curriculums (Eureka & Benchmark)were new for me/my students. For reading, a lot of vocabulary supports were needed for my students/ELL. Despite working with many of them one-on-one teaching them how to access BM, many of the students never opened a book on Benchmark. This meant I also created slides with the texts the kids were supposed to read. Similarly with math, many of my students were not watching the math videos, so using zoom time for “debriefing” was meaningless since they were coming to class without having watched the videos or worked on any practice problems. I created slides with vocabulary, sample problems, answer keys (I solved all the problems for every lesson myself, scanned them and put them in every slideshow I made.) These are just a few examples. I literally made a slideshow for every single lesson I taught every day of distance learning. I posted all the slideshows each day so both students and parents would have access to everything we covered during class. [/quote]
