Mr. Le Duc’s Distance Learning Routine

1. Weekly: Email to Families and Students via Skyward

I send out a Skyward email with a link to the daily schedule and I highlight the work for the week.

I recommend students check the daily schedule regularly at the Capital High School web site.

I make a screencast overview of the schedule and projects weekly. Here is my OSD YouTube channel with my latest screencasts: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgTAecc915fk_QQ0yIlE5xA?view_as=subscriber
I also make screencasts as students recommend more help with projects
https://www.screencastify.com/ is a free screen casting program that works in Google Chrome browser

Students publish their work at Edublogs.org. It’s free and only for academic purposes.
- Each student has a blog where they publish their work to establish a professional portfolio that can grow with them over the years.
- We have been doing this for 10 years. Students were cultured into the process before Covid-19
I subscribe to the student blogs with Feedly.com which allows me to track what ad when they publish.
Here is a student sample blog: https://rockbeatle.edublogs.org/.
Students and parents sign a Social Media Contract at the beginning of the year, https://capitalcomtech.info/2017/02/14/contract-information/
Students collect evidence of learning.
- They can write, embed images, embed recording via their OSD YouTube account, embed sound from online sound/music learning sites, etc.

I use Remind.com to send students and families (who signed on) a daily message that clarifies or inspires students with class-related material. I usually highlight student work that is well done, as an example for other students.
