Pacific Grove Adult School will have a summer program beginning on June 22-Sep 12th. We will be using Distance Learning or DL for the classes. The virtual classes are taught on Zoom in my case. We had the past few months of staying home to practice with existing classes and students. Zoom is easy to use and allows us to share your screen if we need to sort a student out. It has been my experience as well as that of my colleagues that 2 hours is about the limit for these DL classes. Content has to be modified and changed to adapt to this learning format.
I need your help deciding what classes to offer this summer. Please look at the list below and send me your unofficial vote or comments. If a class is not listed, suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am not going to share any comments or suggestions. I am looking for feedback and what would best serve our community in the coming summer months.

The Class you wish someone would teach and it is called ______________________________________.
Photographic field trips with assignment and followup critiques online. This hybrid style class would involve meeting at different locations with an assignment in mind and then a followup online critique for each student in a group Zoom class. It would have to be approved by administration and follow all social distancing and Covid-19 guidelines. This is very possible as photographers spread out when in a group after the initial instruction.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to seeing you online or in person in the future as we all make our way through this new normal. Please take care of yourself and respect the health of others.
