You've Got a Friend in... URockEdu!

As teachers, we find ourselves in an unprecedented time for education. Hot off the press, in Tarrant County, Texas we just received a mandate that we are returning to remote learning for at least the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. And as teachers, we are all over the board with that decision. 

ALSO as teachers, we crave schedules, routines, & plans. AND right now those are difficult to come by. Let me introduce you to a new friend...you've got a friend in URockEdu at our very own Region 11!

Region 11's Digital Learning Department (URockEdu) has curated resources for teachers that will assist you in the classroom: 

-for remote teaching (mandated temporarily once again), 

-for return to campuses as we once knew them, 

-and/or every scenario in between. 

Resources can be found on their webpage and include:

• help with Online Teaching,
• Blended Learning, 
• LMS Specific Resources (Canvas, Google Classroom, Seesaw),
• Recorded Zoom Sessions on a variety of topics, 
• Zoom Help, and
• other Digital Resources.

Currently, this team is also offering the following classes:

☝ Engage by Design Training (principles and best practices of blended learning - great for remote teaching)

✌ Engage by Design Tools Series (note there are multiple tool sessions offered that support blended learning)

👌Canvas 101 Lite (great introduction to Canvas for remote teaching needs)

NOTE: Class fees may apply depending on your district's contract with Region 11.

URockEdu also writes a newsletter, URockEdu Updates, 

and a blog, Beyond the Buzzword, Blended Learning

 

...both jam-packed with teaching tips and guidance navigating Digital Learning.
