A Tip from Grant Wood:

As you plan out your time, try to add movement and activity that will help students be engaged and focused after being on a device. More information about Bringing Movement Into Daily Educational Routines.

Reflection Questions

  • How will these time recommendations guide your planning for continuous learning?

  • Daily online synchronous learning might be impossible for some students. Considering this, how will you provide instruction in an asynchronous environment?

  • How will you ensure students are not being expected to engage in too much continuous learning?
