ClassCast Podcast Ep.020 features Jon Kasica, the Northeast Regional Sales Director in K-12 Education for Canvas Learning Management Systems (and a proud JMU Duke!), talking with host Ryan Tibbens about implementing a new learning management system (LMS), blended/distance learning, serving students, leveraging technology, working purposefully, adapting to distance learning in the time of Covid-19, and more. This episode offers classroom teachers a rare glimpse into some of the considerations and concepts behind buying, adapting, and implementing an LMS as well as some advice for how to proceed with the future of the school year in doubt.\\xa0
NOTE: In the episode, both speakers discuss a return to school "in a few weeks"; however, this situation is rapidly developing. By the night of 3/14, Ryan Tibbens had reassessed and no longer believes regular school will resume until fall, maybe later. (Recorded 3/13/20.)
