Virtual

I have experience teaching all ages virtually, on both Google Meets and Zoom platforms. I am well versed in Google Classroom and love organizing my curriculum online. I use Pear Deck, Padlet, and Jamboard in my lessons to collect student feedback, organize assessments, and conduct online art critiques and feedback protocols. I am also a big fan of making demonstration videos ahead of class. I typically play a video on mute, so that I can explain what is happening live. Demonstration videos are a great resource to upload to Google Classroom so that learners can re-watch videos as many times as they wish.
