So I guess it's going to be called "remote learning" by everybody. Not my first choice (I still prefer "online learning", which is what it is) but it could have been given much worse names (like "remote instruction"). Anyhow, this article is addressed to former in-class teachers and talks about how to adapt. The dance metaphors address the different tasks teachers face in the spring, summer and fall, and ultimately Rajiv Jhangiani points teachers toward KPU's guide to designing online courses. The second half of the article speaks to teacher anxiety, quoting Rolin Moe saying "you can't teach someone to swim while they're drowning." On the contrary, I would say. If you don't teach them to swim they'll pull you under. I've seen a bit of that these past few weeks.
