Because some students will be in class full time or part time, but some will be working completely from home, I need to have creative ways for them to all access my curriculum and still do hands-on exploration of Chemistry and Human Anatomy. I am ramping up my digital presentation this year, and developing several “play anywhere” learning games or “do anywhere” assignments. I also plan to make literary connections to real-life science by exploring some novels that involve the areas of science that I teach. I hope that students won’t feel cheated out of what they’d usually get because they’ve chosen a different way to learn this year. I have asked for cardstock and binding combs so that I can construct a "workbook" containing all of the materials they'll need throughout the semester. This will allow students working from home to have access to the same materials that in-seat students have. Additionally, if we end up with some type of stay-at-home order again, we'll be able to move on with our learning since all students will have the materials they'll need. I have also asked for some electronic equipment that will help me present better to students no matter where they are learning, as I will be doing a fair bit of screencasting to teach essential skills. Finally, I've asked for several resource books that I plan to use to branch away from the traditional textbook only type courses I teach and make some better real-life connections for students.
