My admin hasn’t given any information on how this will work. Under normal summer school circumstances the students are in class for 6 hours with stretch and lunch breaks.
This summer we will be distance learning and I assume that we will check in via zoom meeting daily in the morning - I will have the daily assignment posted on Google Classroom. After the morning meeting clarifying the day’s assignment, I will probably have them work individually (not in a zoom meeting), and have a couple of check-ins via zoom to go over progress (maybe every two hours, meeting lasting 15-30 minutes). I also plan to be available via zoom in between for those who need help. I have a Google Voice account so students can text or call me if they need help, then we can conference in if a face to face is needed.
I certainly don’t want to have a 6 hour zoom meeting every day for 11 days - that’s not good for anyone. I was thinking that I could do some direct instruction via zoom, let them run with it at their own pace, and have several video meeting check-ins.
That’s what I’m thinking so far. I appreciate the feedback!
