[aisle] virtual / in person simultaneous teaching tools

[Renee Kozeal]

We have a subscription to Screencastify so that teachers can record lessons
to share on their Google Classrooms either during class or for students to
access later. Other things that came up were the quality of sound and
picture. Our teacher machines were just Chromebooks, and they didn't handle
all of the video well. We have since purchased real laptops for everyone,
and they are MUCH better. We also purchased good web cams and headset
microphones for those who wanted them--you know, teachers are wearing
masks, and it's harder for the remote kids to hear them. We have been doing
blended learning (students in the classroom and students at home on the
Google Meet during class) all year with the exception of two weeks in
November. It's hard work, and the teachers are exhausted. Good tools are a
must.
