Two weeks ago, we started something called Virtual Office Hours, and I think it's catching on! We normally have our virtual office hours on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30-8:30AM; or we can schedule another time to meet by video conference that is more convenient for you.
We've set up appointments with several districts recently and it was so easy! It eliminates unnecessary travel and because we use the video conference equipment, we can see each other while we discuss the needs of the teachers with whom we meet.
We can meet with districts near and far first thing in the morning, during the day, or late in the afternoon. During our meetings, teachers have asked for suggestions for ways to integrate interactive video conferencing into the curriculum, suggestions for class-to-class connections, and other topics associated with distance learning.
Hopefully, more districts will take a chance and try out our Virtual Office Hours. If you'd like to try, you can email us: DL@gstboces.org.
