Special Episodes on Distance Learning
Amid the current COVID-19 outbreak, many schools are closed so it made sense to focus a series of Orchestra Teacher Podcast episodes on the topic of Distance Learning. Many teachers have been using technology for years, however now it has become a necessity and a requirement for teachers whose schools are closed. This series will feature teachers from across the country who are using technology in creative ways that will help provide other teachers with ideas and resources for their teaching. While online instruction in orchestra can never replace face-to-face instruction, creative use of technology can help provide meaningful instruction for our students while schools are closed.
