Virtual Learning in a Non-Virtual World: Bringing the community and the classroom together: Jimmy Wares & Robyn Poulsen

Description:

With everything that teachers have gone through, what happens when the world goes back to the classroom full-time … stay virtual! Yes! Keep it going and bring the world to them! With the experience that we have gained teaching virtually, we will discuss how we can use what we now know and head out to the real world on a regular basis. For example, teaching remotely has given me the opportunity to teach once a week from my woodshop AND stay on track with the curriculum. Why stop when I go back full time, when instead of finding the cost of watermelons and cantaloupe, I can compare the cost of using Red Oak vs. White Oak for my next project. With limitations on traveling and finances for field trips, take the trip yourself, teach, make connections to your curriculum and make math meaningful.
