[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question: Why don't teachers put their slides, work, and/or home work on a portal and let kids catch up within a few days and learn the material? If they don't then they can come to office hours or whatever? I just don't understand why this is such a big deal? This is what is going to happen in college if they miss a day. Heck, some of those profs even video the lectures (this obv wouldn't work for all classes).

I know I'll get a million reasons why this isn't possible. IMO it's kind of BS. We had teachers in ES who did this. And so does some of our MS teachers. It makes their life easier. It makes our life easier. [/quote]

I’ll speak for myself at the elementary level. The lessons are just too varied or hands on to post online. We incorporate lessons into Morning Meetings and my math block consists of number sense routines, student discourse, a focus lesson and four different groups which may not all be working on the same tasks. I have five different reading groups,?some of which are participating in book talks (more in person discourse/discussion). The students are also not yet very adept at using the computers. We just don’t have the resources to get them all used to being that independent online.[/quote]
