5 Tips for elementary teachers to make more engaging asynchronous videos for their students in remote learning.

Disclaimer - I am not a video editor, I am teacher 1st and strive to infuse technology when I can. I make videos to support my teachers and especially during this time of remote learning. We strive to keep our students engaged, collaborating and promoting positivity in all that we do.
