The HS classes are beginning and I have been talking to the instructors, mostly about "technical " issue, but some about other things. There is always some technical stuff to work through, especially at the beginning but that will be a constant. I am concerned a little or maybe a lot with the size of the classes. I know Kristen has 33 or so kids in the class, and 20+ from one school. I did not anticipate that at all and I think it will be a challenge to manage in this modality. I know the HS kids well enough to know some may try and take advantage of this (after all I had a student who consistently say off camera last year and evn in a smaller class I some days just did not notice. I think in this case we will need help from the school-hopefully the school is up to it.
I know students are getting work done, as I get the forum updates as I am listed an instructor in the courses, fortunately I don't have to read there assignments.
I will be interested to learn how the activities work this year, some I tried last year and some are newer so it will be interesting to see what works.
Quick thank you to the teachers who are doing the work, and please stay in touch with me as I want ot be as much help and support as possible.
