Virtual Learning Done Right

My first thought on reading the title was "Thank goodness someone has figured out how to do virtual learning right". But then I felt I should be more charitable, and view it as a set of instructions for getting started. But I also think it would be very hard to follow these instructions because they're just so generic. The second requirement, for example, is "the consistent use of an LMS such as Google Classroom, Schoology, or Canvas." Third is "Tier 1 instruction and engagement", which appears to be some blend of instructivist approaches along with the caution to "ensure that students are empowered to think and apply their thinking in meaningful ways." Then we get 'breakout rooms', which seem to have appeared out of nowhere. This is a classic example of a 'paint-by-numbers' blog post, where a bunch of topics are hastily assembled in some sort of order with no real regard for the overall message or cohesion at all, and is more likely to confuse than to enlighten.
