Yeah, this is how we're doing it, too. We're expected to stay on for the full class period, but synchronous instruction should be limited to 25-30 minutes. It's not that different from how I would conduct a normal classroom, where I'd spend half the class teaching it and giving them the other half to apply it.

I know some counties are doing the teachers need to go into school to teach, but I think Dekalb was thinking the county is already very badly off financially, why spend more on electricity and materials (video cameras for every room would have to be purchased) when we don’t have to (and that makes a lot of sense to me as well)

I think Fulton wants the teachers in place so they can reopen as quickly as possible.
