[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, thank you for bringing this up, and I’d appreciate any advice or resources you would be willing to provide.

I found distance teaching enormously stressful and exhausting, even just during the single daily lessons in the spring. I have manageable anxiety (general and social), but the performative nature and knowing that the parents were watching/listening made teaching online so much more difficult than in person. Plus my families have no or limited English, there were major tech issues, etc.[/quote]

OP, I also would appreciate any resources or advice.  As a teacher I need to maintain my energy and enthusiasm... and I need to be able to guide my young students to do the same.

Obviously I realize we need to incorporate a lot of physical activity.  My principal suggested that if it were safe, we should include activities for students to do outside if they have a backyard or some type of garden they can go to.   It just isn't developmentally appropriate for small children to sit at a desk in front of a screen for hours at a time without breaks.

We need guidance!  My district has a technology training team but they focus more on instructional resources for the classroom.  None of them has ever actually distance-taught for 3 months as I have![/quote]
