I noticed an unexpected benefit today in my virtual lessons – because I wasn’t there to have more ‘hands on’ instruction,they had to think through and process instruction a little differently. It seemed more generative as they spoke the instructions kinda to themselves and figured some things without a lot of guidance from me. Kinda cool. UPDATE: Today at the end of a lesson, I asked the student to write their notes. Typically I’d have them on a white board and they either copy or take a picture, but today they were writing from ‘scratch’. They said “OK, what do I need to do this week?” to which I said “Tell me what you think and if I need to add anything, I will.” I was impressed how he thought back through the lesson and named what we worked on and what I wanted him to do. He was pretty spot on and I’m sure it went in deeper than it typically does.
