On Thursday March 19, 2020, I sent this email. My students have left campus and will be learning remotely until the governor reopens the schools.
Hello Tech in Ed Students,
I hope that you are all settling
into a good routine and that your loved ones are well. I am now home with my
family which includes 3 college students who are learning online... I get to
see the student side of this experience, even as I prepare for it as a
professor. These next few weeks will be an important time in educational
history and you and I are a part of it.
Next week, we start Tech in Ed.
This course starts with the backstory of technology in Education and then
becomes very hands-on with technology. If you do not have access to a computer
with internet connection, please contact me.
In 3 days, my Technology in Education students will either
show up in my Zoom room at 8:30AM and 12:30PM or choose to watch the pre-recorded
lessons. This blog is a journal of my experiences as an instructor at a small
private college in Pennsylvania in the weeks following the closure of... almost
everything... including: K-12 schools, colleges and all business that are not
life sustaining as a result of the Corona Virus (SARS-CoV2)
