“I am teaching half the students in person and half the students virtually. The in-person students must stay seated six feet apart. They are able to view the flip book on the Promethean board. The virtual students are able to view the flip book when I share my screen on Microsoft Teams. This means that the in person students can experience the Flip Book stories simultaneously with the at home students. Showing a flip book to a computer was just too hard. But showing the same beautiful photos online is amazing.”
