This week, Ryan and Sarah are joined by Mike Hernandez (IT Director at Academica) to talk about how schools are transitioning to virtual amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sarah shares an article about higher education institutions shifting to a pass/fail grading model and the hosts discuss the lessons that K-12 institutions and teachers can learn from this shift. We also share the “wins” that we have had in our virtual classrooms and we encourage you to share us your wins by tweeting at us with the hashtag #bigideasineducation.
