[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how are some schools scheduling only 2 hours per week? [/quote]

I don't know. I teach and we were told the minimum expectation was two hours synchronous Mon-Thurs. I find it hard to believe that other schools are only doing two hours total per week[/quote]

I teach as well. We were told an hour a day of office hours and an hour a day of direct instruction. Direct instruction can be videos or live.[/quote]

We were told one hour of live instruction is the minimum per day, and one hour of office hours. Mon-Thurs. Videos do not count for us as live instruction. Office hours can be by pre-made appointment only.[/quote]

So I guess you stop doing the videos?

I honestly think my students get more out of watching my pre-recorded ~10 minute video, completing an activity and receiving feedback than they would if I tried to do it live online with an entire class. [/quote]

I am a parent of two elementary school students and my kids definitely get more out of the recordings as far as actual learning goes. They do love some love interaction with the teacher and classmates, but usually have a harder time learning from the live lessons. [/quote]

If the teachers are now told to start doing live lessons instead of the recorded lessons, how would you feel about that?[/quote]
