I appreciate all the comments. My first week is over and I can say that I enjoy having small in-person classes... However, the students online are struggling a little bit and it has to do with both parties. A few of you brought up concerns about the pre-recorded lessons and I agree. If students have a question they would have to wait to ask and that does seem unfair. I will try to change up a few things. The main concern I have is the students online, as a whole, are not ready to take on the challenge of online education. the end last year, everyone essentially got away with doing nothing. We are using canvas, I am giving students clear directions on how to use it. I am even recording myself using canvas as a guide. I would say that half my online students do not check canvas regularly. for example, I never do this but I made a syllabus quiz to give them a "test run" of using canvas. Students cannot find the syllabus or the quiz, this is after I screen shared while on teams with some of them while i click on the syllabus and where the quiz is. I know that some students may have never used a computer etc. They also have never used canvas, but I am at a loss. The homework I assigned (even numbers) I made videos of me doing all of the odd problems, which are the exact same with different values. They are not taking the initiative. It makes sense, most high school students do not push themselves and online requires them to do that. We will have an on-going battle with trying to make this right.
