We asked SR3 staff how they are handling this new reality. Here's what we learned... NAME: Amanda Boyer ROLE AT SR3: SHS Lit & Comp Teacher HOW ARE YOU STAYING CONNECTED? I am using Canvas and Email all day! I have created discussions on Canvas for my students along with videos to check in and explain things a bit. Through Canvas I have made instructional videos and posted them to help kids with past assignments. This allows them to hear my explanations and see what they're working on with me. We are also video conferencing with our administration and departments. The conversations back and forth are positive, hopeful, and focused on doing what is best for our students. I hate that staying away is what is best right now, but we are all doing a great job of staying connected! IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? I get so excited when I get a message from a student. They have been replying to my video check-in discussions and talking about our activities. In all that is going on, it is so nice to have those moments of connection with each other. I miss seeing all their smiling faces, but I'm so grateful that we are able to connect from our homes where we can all stay healthy! #SavageNation #SR3
