Materials I will need at home to deliver instruction (e.g. textbook, computer files, software, microphone):
Computer and Internet access.
Skills I need to learn/refresh to implement my plan:
None at this time.
Expectations of students (include needed tech skills):
(Include plans for ensuring students have needed skills / understand expectations)
Listen to assigned text and respond to prompts and or on study guides posted under Handouts on Edline.
How I will “take roll” to confirm that students have received my instructions.
(Post Edline discussion comment, email teacher, respond to survey, etc…)
By emailing responses to me personally or through a google.doc per class.
Ideas/methods to ensure “active learning:”
(i.e. student interactivity, collaboration, artifacts/ demonstrations of learning)
Part of the requirements will be individual responses to my prompts, but also to respond to a given number of
posts by classmates. The purpose will be to start or continue a dialogue, much as we have done already in our day
to day reading and posting.
Address of my blog, wiki, Google site, LMS, etc…
(Must be linked from Edline)
See above.
Colleague who will assist if I am ill during remote
school:
