  • "fast and furious"
  • "exhausting"
  • "Madness"
  • Nursing program: no class or clinicals at first
  • Smooth transition tech-wise at the high school level; lots of teacher training needed 
  • "like building a plane and flying it at the same time"
  • Everything felt like a crisis at first - some things you just have to let go
  • Panic Mode - at the beginning AND when teachers found out that they were going to teach online in the fall too

  • Lots of people feeling lost in their relationships with others (or lack thereof)
  • More difficult to get to know new patients who she has never met with in person
  • Easier for people to not attend sessions/give up on their progress
  • Young adults seem to have adapted better, but lack of socialization is wearing on them
  • Teachers relationships with their students is really important - but teachers should not be expected to also be counselors

  • Have found new ways to not pay attention
  • If a teacher notices something is off with a student, send them to the counselor - teachers are not trained to deal with those kinds of issues, so it's best to leave it to the professionals
  • Teachers have so many jobs already, so we shouldn't be doing jobs that we're not even trained for

  • Difficult to allow work and personal life to mix, but at some point it will happen (kids running in the room, dogs barking)
  • Life is messy, but it's messy for everyone

  • Class works so much differently than it did before covid - no turning back now
  • Kids can no longer sit there with butcher paper and markers to work through projects - things need to be done differently - and this may be for the better

  • You learn something new everyday
  • Sometimes problems can be broken down into smaller problems
    • Don't try to make one decision - instead break it down into 14 smaller decisions 
  • Teachers are more willing to try new skills
    • More things are possible with tech

  • Were hesitant at first (didn't want to put the plan together)
  • High school level - cookie cutter way to conduct classes 
    • Teachers should have more autonomy over what they teach and how they teach it
  • Lower and middle school level - no direction
    • What's worse? Having too much direction or no direction at all?

  • Students didn't know how to use email (3rd grade students received their email addresses 3/11, we were online 3/12)
  • Students not understanding how to use Google Classroom (teacher learning the platform at the same time)
  • Challenge for both students and teachers: how to explain things without a whiteboard - what can replace a whiteboard at home - iPad

  • Students and teachers loved the first day or so
  • Student excitement about remote learning lasted much longer than the teachers
  • "Madness"
  • At first many teachers and students thought it was a break from school/work
    • Everyone else in corporate jobs seemed to be thinking of it that way (working in pajamas, sleeping in later) - it seemed like fun at first
    • That idea of it being fun quickly faded, especially when it became clear that we weren't returning to in person learning any time soon.

  • Novelty of learning from home quickly faded
  • Challenge of learning/knowing how to use the resources that we had
  • District gave us an overwhelming amount of resources daily/weekly
    • There are so many great tools/resources/software out there, but individual teachers can't use them all
    • Chose ~5 to use and stuck with it
    • Otherwise you're constantly trying to catch up/learn something new

  • Google Classroom - for some assignments/quizzes
    • The self-grading is nice: having the technology work for you
    • Less papers: assignments don't get lost the way they used to
  • Posting a question on Google Classroom: students can see their classmates' answers/learn from them/respond to them without the teacher having to be involved in every aspect of it

What will need to be carried over after we fully return to in person learning?
    • To provide students with activities similar to but not exactly the same as in-class activities (Pietro)
    • "teachers' preparedness and positive attitude are key elements for the success of online learning platforms" (Pietro)
      • Students seeing their teacher and interacting with them is key
    • Teacher 3: Teacher knowledge of tech is key
      • Knowing what to use and trying new things
      • But not trying too many things - necessary to limit what you use.
      • Find what you like and what works for your subjects/students and use that, don't go overboard or else teachers will get burnt out quickly.
    • What to keep: posing a question on Google Classroom
      • students can see others answers without the teacher being involved in every answer - they can talk to each other instead of constant teacher involvement (Teacher 3)
    • Transition back to fully in person: looking forward to students having their independence back and not relying on parents for everything (Teacher 3)
      • This is especially a problem in the younger grades when students are at home
      • When students are back in person, teachers will be able to see what the students actually can do instead of what they can do when their parents are helping them
    • Questions to consider when students return to in person learning:
      • Will 1-1 access to technology remain?
        • Can schools keep up with the resources/maintenance needed?
      • Admin is hesitant to put time/resources into tech, but then when everything goes wrong the tech is where they turn
    • Kids can no longer sit there with butcher paper and markers to work through projects - things need to be done differently - and this may be for the better (Teacher 1)
    • Everyone else in corporate jobs seemed to be thinking of it that way (working in pajamas, sleeping in later) - it seemed like fun at first (Teacher 3)
      • That idea of it being fun quickly faded, especially when it became clear that we weren't returning to in person learning any time soon.

    • Teacher 4: Change the way we look at assessments
      • with students' unlimited access to technology and answers, what are we assessing them on? They have access to how to spell anything or basic math facts, but so do regular people.
      • We shouldn't teach them to memorize anything because regular, non-school aged people don't have to memorize anything, especially for SPED students
        • Change assessments to reflect that
        • This also allows teachers to assess students on more in depth, complex ideas instead of focussing on memorizing the basics
      • The idea that students have access to all of this information opens up opportunities for teachers to push students beyond what can be Googled
        • Requires them to think more critically while also using the information at their fingertips.
        • They not only know the information, but know what it means and how to actually apply it
      • Considerations...: Teachers, particularly SPED teachers, have had to evaluate which standards are most necessary and weed out the ones that are able to be skipped. They have to choose based on the following 3 criteria:
        • "Endurance (which skills are foundational and built on year after year?)
        • Leverage (which standards provide students with the most essential knowledge and skills?)
        • Readiness (which standards prepare students to be ready for the next level?)" (Considerations of District and School Admin...)
      • Wasco SPED: Mario Uresti stated about the very beginning of the pandemic, "Whatever packets were provided, we knew some students would be on top of it. There's another population of students that we knew they weren't going to do it."

What is the best way to do this both in remote learning and after our return to in person learning?
    • "Not only are COVID-19 and the move to remote learning and teaching expected to cause greater inequality in cognitive abilities, but they may exert a similar effect as regard to students' emotional well-being and motivation"
      • How might we resolve this while teaching remotely?
      • How might we resolve this when returning to in person teaching?
    • "In fact, students' isolation from their friends and teachers may result in an unequal distribution of behavioural and psychological problems" (Pietro)
    • This whole thing has highlighted how much we depend on schools for
      • education
      • emotional support
      • food access
    • Lots of people feeling lost in their relationships with others (or lack thereof) (Psychologist)
    • More difficult to get to know new patients who she has never met with in person (Psychologist)
    • Easier for people to not attend sessions/give up on their progress (Psychologist)
    • Young adults seem to have adapted better, but lack of socialization is wearing on them (Psychologist)
    • Teachers relationships with their students is really important - but teachers should not be expected to also be counselors (Teacher 2)
      • If a teacher notices something is off with a student, send them to the counselor - teachers are not trained to deal with those kinds of issues, so it's best to leave it to the professionals
    • Video Games have become a place for kids to connect with one another online
      • “As pointed by the World Health Organization (Snider, 2020), the pandemic has empowered video games as key instruments for bonding and community building, addressing the lack of social interactions and human contact that COVID-19 entailed.
        As such, the role of this sector is currently under the spotlight from two main perspectives: 1. Its ability to re-mediate social interactions between teenagers and young adults. 2. The role of online communities around digital entertainment as additional social hubs.” (Enrico Gandolfi, & Sofia Gandolfi. (2021).
