However, in extenuating circumstances such as bad weather and wide-spread illness, Online/Continued Learning provides a great opportunity to stay connected, provide instruction in other formats, engage students in authentic learning, and work collaboratively when face-to-face interaction isn't possible.

"[Online/Continued] Learning occurs when the learner and teacher are separated by time and distance (not in a traditional classroom setting). Information is typically transmitted via technology (Google Classroom, [Schoology], video conferencing [via Zoom or Google Hangouts Meet, teacher/campus websites, and/or] email) so that no physical presence in the classroom is required.

When technology-facilitated [Online/Continued] Learning isn't possible, paper materials can be used as a substitute. [Online/Continued] Learning can occur synchronously (real-time interaction) or asynchronously (self-paced, independent of the teacher)." (https://www.tsc.k12.in.us/academics/remote-learning)

Middle School and High School: Consider setting virtual office hours where students can check in to ask questions or receive further instruction. This can be accomplished in a discussion board in Schoology or Google Classroom, and even a live webinar via Zoom or Google Hangouts Meet.
