New One-Minute Spotlights Available

The Department of Technology & Innovation continues to produce our web series Learning NOW in Barrington 220 at www.youtube.com/learningnow220. Each episode highlights some of the ways Barrington 220 students are learning in one-minute stories about a particular lesson or activity. As a result, we hope to create a better understanding in the Barrington community about how students learn and how the classroom environment has changed with the addition of a technology device in the hands of every student, especially as we engage in distance learning. 

In our most recent episode, Sunny Hill Elementary School P.E. Teachers Tyler Cortez and Bryan King hold physical education classes on Zoom with their students. They created a “playlist” of various exercises on YouTube and meet with them live on Zoom using both prerecorded and live workouts. During a class, they communicate directly with students and exercise along with them, allowing students to make choices about what activity will happen next. Teachers offer encouragement and additional options throughout the class.
