It’s an PANDEMIC and everyone one will be at home for the next two weeks or more to avoid the spread of the Coronavirus. Last week, it was a whirlwind of emails and meetings at the end of the week to update us on the situation and how we would proceed with the school year. When we finally received notice that that we would be moving our instruction to FID – Flexible Instruction Days, we worked to get a website and resources in place for parents. Teachers across the country have been online reading, curating, and sharing as much as possible about how to switch to online instruction. I have been amazed at how generous people have been sharing information to help others prepare for this sudden change to our teaching practice.

I am a member of ISTE https://iste.org/ and our state Ed Tech group PAECT.
There have been great resources shared from ISTE on (COVID-19) and online learning. I wanted to share this resource with you: https://www.learningkeepsgoing.org/

There is also support available from our state Ed Tech group- PAECT https://www.paect.org/. There will be a webinar on Tuesday that is available to everyone. https://www.paect.org/event-3789524?CalendarViewType=1&SelectedDate=3/15/2020

Also, I would like to invite all the teachers to join TWITTER if you haven’t already. There are many wonderful resources and ways to connect on Twitter. For Catholic School teachers across the country, on Saturday mornings you can join at 9:00 AM and follow the #CatholicEdChat. It is a great way for Catholic School teachers to connect.  

And finally here is a great Article on MEDIUM written by a teacher who went through all of this in Hong Kong. … https://medium.com/@thatshirleylee/online-learning-in-hong-kong-amidst-covid-19-c565f47ccdd9
