All Systems Go – How We Went to Distance Learning without Missing a Day @coolcatteacher

On a Friday, we had school in our physical building. By Monday, we had more students in our online school that we had on the previous Friday. In this episode, 10 Minute Teacher host, Vicki Davis, talks to production editor Vicki Morgan about the story at her school as the students began distance learning due to #covid19 stay at home requirements. You’ll learn the tips for onboarding, orienting, and teacher professional development that can help you as you also do this for your school.
