Keara DeMaio teaches seventh-grade math as well as technology for all grades. Interestingly, the students at Keara DeMaio school have the ability to switch classes as they would in-person. The staff as a whole created a schedule last week from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, were running classes and we made sure to include all the subject areas, all the core subject areas, as well as specials such as music and Spanish.So the kids actually had a schedule in front of them that they took home and they switched classes. Instead of switching in the regular classroom, they switched in Google Classroom. Some of us did it face to face with Zoom meeting and others communicated back and forth, either with Google Hangouts or using the comments section in Google Classroom. If Keara DeMaio school has faced any technological hurdles, its been working with students from large families. We have a family that has seven kids. So we said, how are they going to be ? If they had seven devices, which was unlikely, how would they all be on their Wi-Fi at home ?
