[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not true virtual learning as it’s a fill in for snow days.  [/quote]

It is an intervention to provide learning when in-person conditions do not allow, and it is indeed being provided virtually. The press releases from the various school districts (ACPS, Baltimore, NYC etc.) that have announced virtual learning have called it virtual learning.

It depends how it is set up.  If they have full class time and a regular schedule, yes, otherwise it’s a fancy term for filling in the snow day gap.  [/quote]

From the Alexandria  press release. I'm not an educator, but seems like virtual learning to me.

"ACPS will shift to virtual learning Wednesday as schools remain closed
Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be a virtual workday for students and teachers at Alexandria City Public Schools.

ACPS facilities will remain closed for all activities for a third consecutive day due to inclement weather, Superintendent Melanie Kay-Wyatt announced this afternoon. Students, teachers and staff will instead move to synchronous virtual learning plans.

“Class times will include synchronous instruction via Zoom, which means live virtual instruction with teachers, as well as independent work,” Kay-Wyatt wrote. “Teachers will also provide virtual office hours. Schools will communicate the daily bell schedule for the school day.”[/quote]
