In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic we will continue to bring you Florida's Fourth Estate. It will look and sound a little different but our mission is the same, to keep you informed about what's happening in the Sunshine State.  

This week most students began distance learning and we wanted to offer a little help to frustrated parents who may not know where to start or what to do so this can be a good experience for them and their kids.

Who better than a teacher who has nearly 30 years under his belt. Orange County teacher, Chris Crisona, says this is a learning curve for them too. While nothing can take the place of one-on-one classroom time, he says teachers are learning meaningful ways to connect with their students on line.  

The process is different depending on the grade level. Elementary kids love seeing their teachers in a video chat because it gives them some comfort. 

Mr. Crisona also offers up some advice on how to structure the day for students so they stay on track.

Bottom line, don't panic because most parents have not done this before and are feeling the same anxiety as you
