Staff communication
It is important that staff can stay in touch with each other or distance teaching can feel very isolated. Once the dust settles this is also a good opportunity for staff PLD. One way to do this is to set up a classroom similar to the setup you use for your students. So you could, for example, set up Google Classroom for announcements, links and and resources, a Google Site for storing video resources and folders of readings and resources. You can use Zoom or Teams or Meet/Google Hangout for virtual staff meetings and professional learning.
