The return to school was postponed for 2 weeks for local schools in Taiwan due to nCoV. GEG Taiwan gathered volunteer educators to conduct a series of webinars to share how to utilize Google tools under the context of distance learning. The topics include: Digitalise your Teaching Materials, Breaking the Geography Limitation with Google Classroom, Meeting You Online with Hangouts Meet, and Instant feedback & peer evaluation. The YouTube playlist can be found here
http://bit.ly/gegncov Brian Meehan, Director of Digital Learning Kaohsiung American School (KAS) also hosted a Hangouts Meet with Taiwan educators to share the digital measures that they adopted to monitor the travel history and health condition of faculty and students. The School’s System Analyst, Lena Wang, was also generous enough to provide the templates that they used and shared with the educators in need.
Special thanks to GEG educators involved: Ching-Ying Lin (Kaohsiung), Fang-ru Lin (Yilan), Foolking Wang (Taoyuan), Phyllis Lin (Kaohsiung), Andy Cheng (Tainan), Wayne Chien (Yilan), Ruth Yeh (Taipei), Andrea Chow (Taipei). This immediate response shows the generosity and compassion of the GEGs and their ability to react quickly to support teachers and students in their district.
