You are an excellent teacher IN the classroom and now you'll be an excellent teacher ON Classroom. If you're nervous, checkout the Startup Guide first. Remember that what we are currently providing is academic enrichment; this will in no way be anywhere near a substitute for what we do in our classrooms on a daily basis.

While it seems a little teeny-boppery, social media is a GREAT way to find new and innovative ideas. During this time where nearly all the teachers online are Remote Learning, there are more than enough ideas and resources available at the click of a button. Twitter seems to be an educator's paradise (along with some Facebook groups). Don't be afraid! Check Mrs. Mac's Twitter for several retweets of resources for all subject areas.
