Up until now we have been setting and marking work online. It’s been busy but I’m in a good routine now, my classes are doing the work, learning new things, I give lots of feedback , I feel like I’m on top of it. The school has starting to trial live lessons via Microsoft teams which are not as yet compulsory but I can see where it’s going. I had a very depressing meeting today- on Teams- to go through it. The kids aren’t allowed their camera on so we can’t see them, they need to be muted most of the time or it is too distracting, And the chat function off so they don’t muck about on it. We have to trust they are there but presumably they could join and then bugger off - as the whole this is recorded so they could watch later. We also need another staff member passively in the lesson as a safeguarding backup. I just can’t see how it is better than a prerecorded video and can see lots of reasons it will be worse, and very time consuming and less effective than what’s in place now . I’m feeling really negative this evening which is not my normal state of mind. Anyone got positive things to say about their experience with live online teaching?
