I live in South Carolina, and have one child in elementary school, and another in middle school. I've been surprised by how quickly the teachers and schools have moved the entire curriculum online. The middle school kids all already had iPads to take home, and their teachers were already doing a lot on Google Classroom. So for them, it was an incremental change, not a night and day difference.
The elementary school had all the teachers put together three weeks worth of take home work, which parents had to come pick up from the school. So the actual work is on paper. Feedback is done through ClassDojo, where the teachers also post videos and share work from the children.
Altogether, they've done an impressive job in our district, all things considered.
The hardest part is getting the kids to wrap their heads around the idea that these are school days, not holidays. I don't think there's an app for that yet.
