Any ideas for teaching ESL students (especially those with very limited English and formal schooling skills, computer skills) virtually bc of the corona virus?

Can you clarify your question?

I would start teaching them basic procedures for an online classroom now so that they know what to expect and how to access assignments. If we end up going to virtual learning, I am still planning on teaching the lesson as I normally would and recording it so that I can still use visuals and examples.
If possible, I will try to use something like Google Hangouts to help students with assignments during the school day. So that's something I would show them how to use.
I am worried about my students' chances of success in an online format.

I’d out the videos on to YouTube they can turn on closed captioning and have sub titles in their native language.

there are lots of online resources pinned to the teacher bowl and grade level bowls. I like to use BrainPop, Newsela, PBS, History Channel, Nat Geo, NoRedInk to name a few (For secondary)

I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
