Here is an idea!  Let's ask the students how we are doing with providing distance learning.   We talk with three students from Minnesota to get some GREAT insights into distance learning.

We hear from Physical Educators from all grade levels as we interview Joe McCarthy, Lauren Joki, & Steve Girard on the topic of using creativity to increase engagement in their distance learning lessons.

In part two we hear from secondary teachers Lauren Joki & Steve Girard share how they strive to make a connection with their students using technology and creativity.  We also hear from students Petra, Keagan, & Tayjal who share their insights into the need to build connection through distance learning.

Episode 4 - This is part one of a series called Connection Over Content.  We visit with 2012 MNSHAPE Teacher of the year Joe McCarthy and dive into priority number one in distance learning which is building relationships.
