Of course not my photo...

... and not a photo really, but it steals the day. Wish me luck figuring out in two days how to teach three hands-on interactive language classes all remotely

Ooh dear has the virus hit your town or are they being ultra cautious??? 😷

[Shutterbug]

OMG. Good luck with that. Hopefully, they have given you some kind of app to use.

[Jocasta]

good luck - how many students? These are extraordinary times.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Oh my, good luck!

[Phil Howcroft]

It's good that you are taking it seriously, the UK seems far too relaxed, all the government says is "wash your hands"

I expect every American university to conduct their classes remotely till early summer. Such a hardship on the professors.

[Clare Gadsby]

crikey. good luck with working that out vera :)

[Louise & Ken]

Oh my goodness! Truly "A Sign of the Times!"

[Hope D Jennings]

Oh my gosh! Good luck! Would love to hear how it goes.

NPR was just talking about how bullsh*t it is to expect teachers to know how to facilitate their classes online overnight.

@blueberry1222 Unfortunately, it’s the truth. And it’s not the technical aspects of it, you just realize that your learning outcomes, assignments and assessments need to be fundamentally different. And there is no time to learn more about it. I have no problem to keep them all busy, it’s the task of having a meaningful learning experience that is the issue.

Oh, my. The professors and instructors in the KSU Modern Languages department where I work in the main office, are facing a similar challenge. But at least K-State is suspending classes this week and giving them the whole week to try to get ready for classes to resume—taught remotely—next week. Not enough time IMO but better than two days!
