WHAT DISTANCE LEARNING RESOURCES ARE THE BEST?

What a loaded question I know! Digital learning might be completely new to you and so my answer is whatever you feel comfortable with!

Do not go and assign items willy-nilly. The best bet is to start small. Pick one subject and work to online or distance learning and then slowly add in resources as you feel more comfortable.

Another tip is to start with only ONE TYPE of Google assignment as well. Get students used to Google Forms – easy to answer and collect and see results immediately but adding on Google Slides increases the student capacity and you as an online educator because you can do more things.
