IAsked: "How should teachers do this online teaching thing?"

Now that we can see a little clearer regarding fall classes, here is some advice from a couple of my students who chose to respond to my open-ended question about teaching online. 

Another student left a voicemail acknowledging and suggesting the following:

• remote learning is "the better choice"
• remote learning can be a "hassle for hands-on kids"
• be considerate of the amount of work given
• "in school we get work but not as much"
• once we converted to online school it was a "ridiculous amount of work" considering that "we have other classes"
• "don't' think that just because we're at home that 'oh they have time'"
• "students go to work, help siblings, grandparents--we're their number one healthcare provider"
• furthermore, students, "make dinner, go to work [noted again"
• [noted again] "be aware of the amount of work"
• "we don't have a bunch of free time"
• "we do a bunch of other responsibilities"
