This episode is a bit longer than the usual weekly episodes. The first ten minutes of this episode is spent explaining some strategies and tools for teaching online. I did this in response to all of the emails and Tweets I've received in the last week regarding teaching online if your school is closed because of COVID-19 (coronavirus).  After the first ten minutes the podcast follows my usual outline of sharing some news and notes from the world of ed tech, followed by my reflections on my week of teaching, and the episode wraps up with a Q&A.

In this episode of the podcast I'm joined by Dr. La'Tonya Rease Miles. LT Rease Miles is the Director of First Year Experience at UCLA.
