Hi everyone! First of all, thank you for setting up this resource--I'm sure it's going to prove very helpful as we all try to work through this unprecedented situation. I am in a bit of a unique situation. I work as the literacy specialist for a high school, so I spend my days providing both in class and pull out support to small groups or individual students who need interventions for reading and writing. I'm really struggling with how best to support my students remotely, especially knowing that many of them will be having to work much more independently now and likely need my help now more than ever. Any suggestions for ways to provide one on one/small group support while learning/teaching remotely?

Good morning. I am using Google Hangout. We also just added Zoom. I am a special education teacher at our high school and several of us are using both. We create a meeting and push it out to our students and they get online and we then are able to chat and I can read to them or facilitate a lesson. We also have the ability to create lessons for them to listen to. Also if you use Canvas there is a function called Sandbox. If you need any other help I am here. :)

Thank you for the suggestions! I have access to both Google Hangout and Zoom, so I could definitely use one of those.

You are welcome. If you need anything, I am sure I will soon. We are also doing our IEPs on Hangout and we are going into some new training today for more with virtual learning and our special education population. I can let you know once I learn more. my email is mbutler@waynesville.k12.mo.us if that helps also.
