This past spring you likely had to flex time like never before in the classroom. Many teacher’s first encounters with asynchronous learning was harsh. After all, many thought they had to be present for students to be learning; would others judge them if the students were not working synchronously with them online?
The physical absence of the teacher is not the absence of learning many educators learned this past spring. Which activities did you try, will try this fall, will never try again asynchronously? Which activities are ones you will try again?
Share the idea of blogging with your colleagues as a way to process the end of the year that wasn’t. Take the ideas of the friends in this challenge and hopefully build a year prepared for multiple formats!
The Prompt:
Describe your mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning activities
from last spring/will provide this fall?
The Rules:
Have a Blog: You may blog on a traditional blog, podcast, or use Facebook; any platform with an independent URL for each post.
Write & Include: (1) This at the start of your post: “This post is week 6 of 8 in the #8WeeksofSummer Blog Challenge for educators.” and kindly link that sentence to https://wp.me/p4cW8a-30j.

Comment on my Prompt: Post a link to your blog in the comments of each of the 8 blog prompts in a timely fashion (We are on vacation, and you may not even know which day it is, so let’s say within 3 weeks of posts 1-7).
This 2020 #8weeksofsummer blog challenge runs June 12 – July 31, 2020, and is for any educator. The challenge prompts educators with the opportunity of reflection. Each prompt asks them to blog about their reaction, thoughts, experiences with some facet of their professional practice.

Synchronous and asynchronous and now we’re going to blended, in-person and at-home.
