[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

All of my stuff IS in google classroom but kids can’t learn it just by looking at it. That’s where... the teaching... comes in. [/quote]

Thank you!  When I have tried it, they often say, "I looked at it, but didn't understand."  [/quote]

So record the lesson? As I said, we had an ES teacher that did this when she was out. The sub just hit "play" and the short lesson played. The sub then took over for the lesson. We aren't talking a 90 min. lecture. But, a few min. explaining even the highlights? This is not insurmountable. I get that some teachers may not *want* to do so. But I'm not sure that's a good enough reason.

I understand that won't work for hands on things like labs. And will not be ideal for extended periods of missed days. But it will help for sick days and short absences. Let's not let the perfect get in the way of the good, here. And it does help b/c some teachers do it.[/quote]
