How did your remote classroom go?

Schools shut down for weeks now, and shifted to remote classroom to minimize chance for COVID-19 to spread. But it is not all that easy to suddenly shift to teaching in front of camera. Most educators would have no problem standing in front of group of students with whom they can interact, but standing in front of camera is a different story.

Remote teaching requires many new changes to be adopted, such as finding a right video conferencing tool. Many chose Zoom for live streaming of lecture. But what about communication channel? announcement board? Many educators ended up having to use multiple tools, i.e. Slack, school LMS, and even email, for supplement the lack of chat capability of Zoom. Below is a typical day of a Korean educator who had to utilize 5 different tools just to conduct a one remote session.
