“Congratulations and I truly hope the absolute best for all of you in the future. Ok, final sign off. Bye!”
I have just recorded the final video of my first semester of remote teaching.
I’ve just finished telling my first group of students that I am so incredibly proud of them, that I hope they have so much success in their lives, to turn in any late work, and to stay in touch.
