I’m excited to try some of these out, particularly Baidu.com and Yandex.com. I think I will give the Ecosia search engine a try as well and see how it differs from my default Chrome google search.

I have been actually very concerned about this fact – in this rush to go online, how many teachers will receive the support they need? Particularly those that can barely use their own computers?!!!

Thanks, Andrew. I had thought of doing that as well, but the blog was going to be too long!

It is amazing when you breakdown our everyday behaviour, how many of those standards we are meeting. I would, if I were you, look at the ISTE standards and try to apply them to what we are doing. I find these standards to be more overreaching and relevant to today’s classrooms. Great Blog 🙂

Another issue is whether those same teachers are aware of their district policies around FOIPPA – which sites are permissible (ie, servers in Canada), which students have access/consent to posting online, and what they are doing to minimize “cheating” during assessments (ie, Googling during online assessments).
Our cohort are in a fairly comfortable space as we have floated different digital tools for each other to use in classrooms, but what of those who are not as well connected? How and will those teachers be supported as they move their classes online?

We are really in an interesting position right now. We, as a staff, spoke briefly about how to get lessons out to our students. The common issue we are facing is that many of our students do not have access to technology at home in the outlying areas that they live in. I guess for now it is paper packages and phone calls as you mentioned – not really sure what else to do?
It will be truly interesting to see how this all plays out.

“blush”. I have a “professional phone voice” that kept trying to come out (it makes you feel like you are on hold). 😛
