[CASL-L] Sharing a resource list

[Sarah Briggs]

Hi Dawn,
I have done the following so far:
-curate high school level resources and share them out to social media,
parents and faculty via email, and the school newsletter
-repost and share information on how to get a library card remotely (the
public library is doing this now) and how to use the State Library's
resources without a library card
-answer tech and Google questions from teachers, parents, students. My
principal included in an email to faculty a recommendation to reach out to
me for tech questions.
-posted and retweeted book recommendations, both my own and colleagues
-My department has been creating tutorials mostly for Google Apps to help
people post and submit assignments, host and join virtual meetings, and
troubleshoot basic problems. I send these out to the faculty as well.

My future plans: I have a book club and we are in touch via email
currently. We are hoping to use Google Meet to have a virtual meeting soon!
Also I was in the middle of some co-teaching projects when all of this
happened. So I've been working with those teachers on moving those projects
online and helping to facilitate them. I want to keep teaching and
co-teaching as much as possible.

Some themes I've noticed:
-People are looking for ebook access. A lot of classes were in the middle
of a text and not everyone brought the book home. Or they want to start a
new text and not everyone has it.
-People want a contact person if they run into tech problems, like a site
not working or got stuck while setting up a meeting, etc. I can solve many
of these, and when I can't I can put them in touch with someone who can.
-People are looking for easy, accessible tutorials for the most common
distance learning tasks/platforms.
-People appreciate if you find/do something a little fun. I shared a
digital escape room I found on social media. One of our cooking teachers
sent out a home baking challenge. Students are writing/filming/sharing what
they've been up to while social distancing.

I hope this helps!
