[quote=Anonymous]My MCPS middle school magnet kid has kept fairly busy most days over the past two weeks. They've been moving pretty steadily through the day, with time for lunch and exercise breaks, as they wrapped up larger projects from 3rd quarter and checked in to the zoom calls to discuss/learn new material.

No persistent problems with logging on or disruptions, tech seems to be fine as long as the teacher is reasonably comfortable with the technology.

I think it helps that most of the teachers already had a routine of posting at least some class material online, so the kids knew where to look on Google Classroom/Canvas for each class. So the only new things are the routine of finding the assignments and deadlines each week (not all were posted on Monday, and they've been trickling in through the week), and keeping track of the zoom invitations and calls.

It seems like classes are just now starting to ramp up toward more challenging work next week, when 4th quarter starts in earnest. Every class has had at least some new material this week, and even Health has kind of pivoted to discussing mental health and wellness during this period of isolation.

Honestly, I'd say both my kid and I are pretty satisfied with the way things have gone these past two weeks. Considering how chaotic the messaging was the first week, and how little information we got about how all that related to the core magnet classes, it's all come together fairly well.  [/quote]
