Description

On this podcast episode, I'm sharing a digital round table on transition to remote teaching, learning, students support, and work in higher education organized by @laurapasquini with podcast hosts @Profpatrice, @jeffjacksonTX, @bonni208, & myself. This conversation is a reflection about the state of things we are doing, thinking about, and planning for as college and university institutions shutdown across the US. We talk about a range of plans, support, and strategies to be implemented and how we are “doing the best we can” as COVID-19 impacts our campus communities.I'm grateful for show notes and transcript provided by @laurapasquiniMentioned in this episode:Katie’s Tweet about Care: https://twitter.com/Katie__Linder/status/1238868536979832834Advice to take care of yourself, family & work team: Take a walk or run Get outside Keep a full-nights’ sleep & rest Meditation: Apps to try?
