[CASL-L] Synchronous remote learning at elementary level?

[Lisa Chlebowski]

We are in 100% (not using a hybrid model), but using synchronous learning for distance students.  UA teachers are cohorting and moving from class to class which means we have to set up four separate Google Meets throughout the day, extend our screens and use tripods so that the distance learners can see the front of the room and the Promethean boards.  Definitely causes some anxiety trying to get the Meet up fast enough.  Any suggestions for exciting Kindergarten lessons to keep students engaged while not in the library? I would appreciate any suggestions!

Major tech issues coming from the distance and virtual learners.. We'll see how tomorrow goes with everyone added!!!!!

Now it is required daily, in some form, unclear how much.   Zoom doesn't work in our building, and the plan is to use Team, which also has challenges.. The specials teachers are exempt, but I would like to know if there is age appropriate technology out there to do this.  Someone asked about Google Meets and they said there is a problem with that,but I don't know what.
