It's time to create your "Return to Learn" plan!!! 

Now that we know what the beginning of our school year will look like, it's time to make some changes and some definite plans to deliver the best possible version of instruction to your students, NO EXCUSES!

The first thing I'd suggest is getting your "Return to Learn" together.  Ask yourself the following questions:

➤ What level of technology will your incoming students have access to
      (Chromebooks, iPads, Windows devices, etc)?

➤ Will your students have wifi access to accompany their devices?

➤ What standards are you adhering to?

➤ Do you have a content management system available in which to help lead instruction?

➤ Do you have a learning management system in which to host a virtual classroom
      (Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Moodle, Canva, Blackboard, Seesaw, etc)?

➤ What tech tools are you familiar with?

➤ Which tools do you need to spend some more time with?

➤ How will you design your lessons to be authentic and not simply "check box" lessons?
