This Week’s Resources To Support Teachers Coping With School Closures

 

I have a number of regular weekly features (see HERE IS A LIST (WITH LINKS) OF ALL MY REGULAR WEEKLY FEATURES).

This is a relatively new addition to that list.

Some of these resources will be added to The Best Advice On Teaching K-12 Online (If We Have To Because Of The Coronavirus) – Please Make More Suggestions! and the best will go to The “Best Of The Best” Resources To Support Teachers Dealing With School Closures.

You can see all my “Best” lists related to school closures here, including the most recent one, The VERY BEST Resources To Support Teachers Dealing With School Closures In 2020 – Part Two.

Here are this week’s choices:

Teaching, Learning & Connecting in 2020: Education in an Extraordinary Year is from Zoom, and shares some features I didn’t know they had….

The Why, How, and What of Blended Learning is by Catlin Tucker. I’m adding it to The Best Resources On Blended Learning – Help Me Find More.

Thinking Routines Part 2: Driving Deeper Thinking Online is from Catlin Tucker. I’m adding it to Project Zero’s “Thinking Routines Tool” Is An Excellent Resource.

My Current Hybrid Classroom Arrangement and Equipment is by Richard Byrne.

This looks like a great feature for co-teaching. To give people a chance to try it out, @PearDeck is now offering 90 days of free Premium through this link:https://t.co/IwIRDd9zky

Last week, I had a chance to work with a bajillion fabulous third, fourth, and fifth graders remotely. We MADE stories together–multimodally. Here's the stuff, if you want to use/adapt/share. I'd love to see your spin. https://t.co/T437ff5YoG #makewriting #ncte

Last week, a S played a bongo as class began. This led to more cams turning on. Another S held up a stuffed corgi – she has an obsession. A S, who rarely comments, added to the chat “I am a god at hot cross buns on the recorder.” And, an official end of sem. event was born. pic.twitter.com/h3YWDFJ98o
