I have created google classroom! I am working on content in the form of videos. I am creating simple assignments and getting students to check in. Basically I am becoming a YouTube star but the challenge is competing for online attention in a crowded market. The big idea is focusing on developing our skills and minds to adapt to an ever changing world. Now more than ever, project based skills are very important. I also want to expose the students to many different activities they can do during this time. Competencies are all the usual suspects. Create and innovate, play, learn, collaborate (digitally) etc. I am writing each student a personal response to every assignment. Assessment is a mix of feedback (formative) and number grade (summative).

I have many great ideas for lessons. I am also trying to assist students by guiding their various undertakings which they are informing me of via message.
