As school districts across the nation make proactive decisions to close schools to limit the spread of CORVID-19, teachers are planning, organizing, and beginning to take learning on to a digital platform. It can feel stressful and overwhelming to take curriculum, especially ART classrooms, online. There are so many resources and don't feel like you are alone. Reach out on social media, direct message a new friend, and use Google Meet to schedule face time with fellow teachers! As a middle grade teacher several years ago, my former district was super proactive and forward-thinking with an implementation of eClass, an online class module, which has now developed into a more streamline format with Google Classroom. Google Classroom has so many features that make learning fun! From group projects where students can interact with each other to fun extensions with Chrome! My favorite extension is SCREENCASTIFY!

In my school, I am required to post a Google doc with provided links to lessons. Again, we use Seesaw for communication and student interaction. From sorting shapes to digital sketching, my students will have an opportunity to digital media for their weekly art lesson. Lastly to combat stress, I encourage you to stick to a schedule. I have received several text from concerned parents and I understand this is an unusual set of circumstances, but stick to a time table! I have seen this schedule online EVERYWHERE. I know I plan to keep a schedule to rock my digital work and I hope you do the same!
