School Reopening Community: Learning Beyond COVID-19

I wish people understood the amount of time and effort it takes to put a good virtual lesson together.

From learning a new technology tool, to seeing how it looks and works from a student's perspective to then creating and sharing the lesson. Teachers are exhausted. Luckily I work with small groups of math students so I don't have to deal with a large classroom of virtual students and all its problems. However, even though I only have small groups of students, I still plan 2 to 3 of these extended lessons a day. I can't even imagine what elementary teachers are going through with having the same students all day and creating lessons for all subject areas. Sometimes parents and community members think those of us that are working from home, are just sitting around doing nothing. That is so far from the truth.
