Some districts have e-learning software ready to go, while others are asking teachers to be creative.
Third-grade teacher Joshland Shelton said kids will likely embrace new technology while some adults may struggle a bit, but that’s not what she’s most worried about.
“There's still a lot of things I need to teach in math and science for third grade and I have not taught that with them face to face with me or one-on-one. I'm nervous to see what's going to happen to them,” said Shelton.
There’s also worry about who could log-in for remote teaching. Many districts don’t have enough computers for each student to have their own.
