“Instructional Continuity”
That Sounds Serious…
It does NOT sound fun!
But it really just means keeping your class on schedule during disruptive times (this might mean weather events, or it might mean widespread illness – anything that keeps the students from coming to class).

Snow’s Coming!
Get Your Bread And Milk!
Just as you would prepare your home and family for a snowstorm, you can also prepare your class. Plan ways and learn tools that allow you to do things remotely so that Mother Nature will not wreak havoc with your schedule.

Your Schedule Is Slipping…
Better Tuck That In!
It’s hard enough to stay on track as it is. It’s really hard to do if you are missing multiple days. Use the data analytics from previous classes to determine what areas to really focus on with remote content.

There Is More Than One Way To Skin A Cat…
Or To Learn From A MOOC
You can enroll in a MOOC class, not just to learn about that topic, but to see how they structure the content for online delivery. Go through a few from different organizations and see what you like.

Blend ItFlip It
Snow Day It
If you are already incorporating ‘blended learning’ or ‘flipped classroom’ concepts and technology into your classroom, then you are already well on your way. Snow day learning is really very similar (you have permission to play with your phone for the rest
of this presentation).

Content:
Be Seen, Be Heard
There are various ways to deliver content remotely. There are free tools to help you record video or audio for the students to watch or listen to. Just keep it short and digestible (a few minutes for each clip).

Interaction:
Give And Take
There are ways to generate remote interaction. You can set up a webinar with breakout rooms and white boards – and have the groups come back together and share their work with the virtual class.

Assessments:
Assess The Situation
There are online quiz tools that allow you to configure for timed or untimed exams, with multiple attempts, and instant feedback.

Submissions:
Take It All In
Have students email their work on snow days, or use collaboration sites to post papers and projects. You can set it up so that they can see each other’s work, or not, work together on presentations, or not.

Learning Management Systems And Class Websites:
A Little Or A Lot
You can have a single page with announcements or you can do a class that is fully integrated in the LMS with all of the bells and whistles, or somewhere in the middle.

Classroom Response Systems:
Interaction From The Couch
There are tools that allow you to take attendance remotely, deliver questions synchronously or asynchronously, anonymous or not, or take a poll like we are doing at this conference.

Communication:
Everybody On The Same Page
This is key. The students need to know what is expected of them. If you want them to do something on a snow day, then they need to know that, so set the expectation. Make sure the parents know as well.

Technology Coaches:
Let Them Inspire And Guide You
That’s what they are there for. They have all this expertise and access to tools - and they are bursting to share it with you. They want you to be successful. They can get you deals. Lean on them.

Teacher Practice:
Let’s Not Embarrass Ourselves
Vendors will often give you a 30 day free trial period. Use that time to get used to a new tool. Don’t try to wing it with new technology in front of the class (that doesn’t always go well). Practice ahead. Avoid stress.

Student Practice:
Do A Dress Rehearsal
Just like you need to practice with new tools, so do they. If you want them working remotely on a snow day, declare a fake snow day, and have them do all their work in school that day on their devices, with you right there to assist if necessary.

Be Flexible
Stick With What Works,Toss What Doesn’t
The technology should make it easier, not harder. If a tool is more trouble than it’s worth, ditch it. If you waste the first twenty minutes of a webinar fighting with audio, it’s not worth it.

Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day
Your Snow Day Plan Won’t Be, Either
Take time now to start thinking about it, while it’s hot and sunny –
don’t wait till the snow is piled up at the door and the students are at home.

Don’t Use Technology Just For The Sake Of Using It
Use It To Solve A Problem
Where have we heard this before? Ms. O’Brien made this same point in her keynote yesterday – and it bears repeating, especially as we make our way through that big expo hall with all the shiny products and convincing salesmen.
