Let’s self regulate, keep calm and keep teaching!
We would highly recommend you to check the following two videos in order to breath a little bit and make sure that you are self-aware and self-regulated on your moving-to-elearning journey:

How to move online in a Hurry 25’. Christopher Hromalik, Onondaga Community College (NY), provides reassurance to take the pressure off yourself and think of these first weeks as creating emergency sub plans: likely not your best teaching, but definitely helpful and comforting to your students to keep the learning happening. Each week, students and instructors alike will improve and can start to use more technologies to teach online in more effective ways.
