Some Reflections and Thoughts on Switching to Distance Learning

Nate Eklund
March 17, 2020

I’ve been in a lot of conversations with educators this week alone, and I’ve come up with a couple of things that I hope might be of use to you. Please note: I am in NO way a specialist in distance learning. Not at all! Not even a bit. These are just things that I hope can be helpful as you continue in this herculean effort.
