What if your internet goes out while teaching? What’s your Plan B? Have you practiced with your students? Just like our monthly safety drills, practice your Plan B just in case...
This is STELLAR! What an impactful contribution to the community. I just heard about a student who meets weekly with one of your tutors and it is going really well.

And that's a wrap for our 2nd Annual Canvas PDX Summit. Thank you to our presenters from Canvas, PPS & Beaverton. Great to meet our visitors from as far south as Klamath Falls. We look forward to our 3rd Annual Canvas PDX Summit coming in early/mid 2021.

Course design for both synchronous and asynchronous online learning merits PLC time.
@VirtualScholars Tip: Does your course design help kids know WHAT to do and by WHEN to do it? This clarity supports student efficacy and independence.
@CanvasLms is consistent with their updates. Check out NEW ANALYTICS from the right panel of your courses.

@VirtualScholars Tip: Be it on a video call or in a course video, practice looking straight at the camera. Your audience will feel more like you are working directly with them.
A shout out to the Virtual Scholars team. From your ingenuity in the use of breakout rooms to create quiet spaces for kids to work to partnering to make sure all kids know their way around VS to creating warm & welcoming spaces. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU. #VirtualScholarsGratitude

@VirtualScholars Tip: Long videos will be skipped! Chunk your videos to about 1 to 6 minutes. Then add an opportunity to reflect, react, or apply.

Chunking content is supportive to all students and essential for the learners who need academic language and literacy development support! @TMcKey21 @ElizabethMPDX

I had a bit of fun experimenting how to get a low tech DOC CAMERA going in May. No special software. No expensive tools… well except for the one I have with me all the time. Check out the “tools” is used in this video :) (For Zoom or GMeet)

@VirtualScholars Tip: Name your @CanvasLMS modules in a predictive and descriptive manner. Be willing to change your module names if kids tell you they are confused or lost.
