Fostering Digital Equity

I feel stuck! Virtual videos, boxes filled with the names of students I teach, and this chair that I feel glued to!

In a recent zoom, I stood up to grab a picture to show a student. I walked away from the camera, I became unstuck and felt free to wander, to walk, and to interact in a different way with my students!

EVERYONE stand up!! Let’s explore space, emotions, time, and connections in a different way. Remember, the chair is not glue and the video will keep working when more than our faces are showing. Unstick yourself!!

Watch this AWESOME video of a real life class interacting in new and unsticky ways! How can you incorporate this into your own virtual teaching experiences?
