Picture this: walking to school is walking to the living room, cafeteria food is off the menu, now you go to the bathroom alone. Things you thought you dreaded you now miss. Seeing your teacher's and friend's face through a screen is just not as cool as you thought it would be. Classes are boring, you don't understand anything, and your eyes and back hurt! Welcome to virtual school! In spring of 2020 I set up my desk and had this large yellow paper behind me that I would use as my "board" (which is 1/10 of the size in a real classroom). On day one we tried taking notes and doing examples of percents. Within seconds my students were yelling through the screen, "It's backwards!!", "I can't see that!" My one way to keep a lesson as close to real school as possible, and it failed. I had to adapt; I typed notes in a word doc, terribly used the numbers and signs they offered. Students waited patiently as I searched for a division sign or had to underline and bold but only after I highlighted. We need pen to paper!!! My students need to actually SEE the flow of a problem come to life in real life! With my terrible side drawings to help it make sense! An iPad will act as a sheet of paper that I write on and is projected to my students screen. They can take notes, ask questions, and do practice problems with me. I will also be able to write on any document I get from the internet. I can pull up their text book and write on it as we are learning. This iPad and pen will make teaching and learning much more interactive and personal between my students and I.
