How has COVID affected your teaching?

I am not using any paper, apart from class tests.

All my work is on Google Classroom, which students access from their Chromebooks. I am spending all my free time converting paper worksheets to Google Slides (which are far better than the originals), but this is exhausting.

I am doing Science practicals but have to figure in back-to-back classes. My technician is brilliant at making sure equipment is sanitised and quarantined.

I’m fortunate at school that I get to teach in one room, whereas most teachers are moving around school to teach in form rooms.

My Google Classroom lessons are all ready to go (a couple of days in advance) should I have to self-isolate, a student, otherwise well, self isolates, or we go into some kind of lock down.

COVID, in the way I am reacting, is a lot more work than normal. I am not far from melt down, LOL.

I'm teaching in Germany.
We are following state guidelines. Staff can choose to wear masks during lessons and some of my colleagues have exclusion zones marked around their desks.
The kids can spread it to me. Sure. So can my toddler, who attends nursery full time...
Our area is at about 35 cases / 100 000, so we are close to having a higher level of restrictions but we aren't quite there, yet.
