[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and I just wanted to hop on to say I’m not convinced in person is really going to be that much better from DL. The social distancing factor alone takes a lot of classroom “best practices” out of play — like collaborative learning opportunities and group work, small group station work, etc. It’s kind of an eerie scene to think about, tbh. I’m not quite sure I can wrap my mind around what my own classroom would look like in person! (Lecture, notes, individual assessments, ick!) [/quote]

How will things like individual assessments work online, especially if one child is late and you are behind? Like, if you are supposed to have a morning of four individual assessments over the course of an hour, and some kids don't log on in that period, or log on late? I think it's going to be harder than it would in person, particularly for lower elementary if parents are not there to help the kid. Also it's not clear to me how the teacher knows where the kid really is without doing regular one-on-one assessments. Some parents are going to be helping their kids with their work (and I don't mean that just "the parent is doing the work for the kid" -- some parents will say "check it again; I see two errors" or will tell their kid that no, that's not the main idea of the text; try again--kid will get more coaching than they would in school).[/quote]
