Lockdown Norm: August

 Here we go again! 


Just like that, we go back to a new norm of meetings online and distance learning. 



Yesterday I had back-to-back meetings on 3 different platforms - Google Meets, Zoom and a Microsoft Meet. 

It made me think of how all 3 platforms were different but the same. The place you may click on is different, but it offers the same functionality.  All have the ability to share the screen and put people into rooms. 

Like reading, digital fluency is about teaching strategies - what to do if we have come across the unknown?  In reading, we teach to draw upon their prior knowledge and use the clues in the text. 

In the digital world, we ask them to draw upon their prior knowledge and look at the screen for clues (can you see the mic button?).
