Great tips for ELs and ones all of pir students can benefit from.

Some great things to consider while remote teaching.

I love the idea of using @Flipgrid to learn how to say your students names. Listen & practice.❤ You can take it a step further by letting students share the story or meaning of their name if they wish to.

Put a small mirror on your laptop over the camera, open up Zoom or Google Meet and BOOM...you have a document camera! This would also be a great option for kids with Chromebooks to take photos of their written work to upload to Seesaw or Google Classroom! #remotelearning
