My kid jumped out to scare my spouse (@NotesByMrsC) during my Zoom lecture. Of course, it was being recorded, so now I have to post a clip. #soundOn #officemates #workingFromHome #goodHusband

What can you implement in your classes that can review content, establish a foundation for the day’s topic, encourage student participation, and get students prepared for the day’s activities? Here are a few starter activity ideas for your own class: ow.ly/n3J850ACRF0

Replying to @willthewordguy
... and: just to be clear: this isn't about teaching vs. not-teaching students. It's about alternative on-line vs. face-to-face modalities of teaching. If you care deeply for & "love" your students, you might try to become the most effective & engaging remote teacher possible.
