True distance and online instruction is delivered with conscious planning and pedagogical strategies.  I’m curious to see how many PD sessions and university classes will address these topics moving forward.  Right now, much of what I see advertised are remote learning PD designed by companies that promote the use of their own specific tools/platforms for online learning.  
One such resource are the courses available through the Microsoft Educator Community.  Being that we are a Microsoft division I have shared these with our staff but I actively searching for a more formalized course in online pedagogy for K-12 educators; one that focuses on theory as opposed to a specific platform.  If you have any recommendations please leave them in the comments below!

I'd love to hear your thoughts; please leave a comment!
