[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This guidance was not sent directly to teachers and many might still have never received it. At our school it as only sent to ALT members.[/quote]

Then that’s on school leadership. I’m a teacher and I received it from my principal. [/quote]

So what if it's "on" school leadership? That sounds like good leadership, actually. School was canceled on the 13th, teachers met to plan on the 16th, distance learning starts on the 24th and this guidance came on the 23rd to some people... after teachers had been planning all "spring break" about what to do.

It's a disrespectful ask by the 23rd and bordering misconduct to now say switch over for reasoning that is murky at best and doesn't even work at worst. [/quote]

Good leadership exposes you to liability for using an unsecured network? It sounds like you are just salty over having to learn something new. They just gave a week to change. If your leadership had given you the correct info when they got it you would have had two weeks. Or could have changed in a day like I did (and I had literally never heard of Teams before this). Teams is NOT hard. [/quote]

For many people it's not learning something new, it's learning yet another new platform at a time when everything is new.

And even setting aside how easy Teams is, it isn't as conducive for live classes since it doesn't have break out rooms like Zoom.

Both Teams and Zoom were new to me. It makes more sense to learn just one platform, and Teams is the one that the school is using to send assignments, etc. Why would I also want to learn Zoom? And I have yet to see live teaching. We get recorded videos of our teachers teaching.[/quote]

Teams is better because you can record and keep the video of the call. So any kid who misses it can still watch it. You can also post messages and assignments all in one space. [/quote]
