Looking for different ways for students to share their knowledge. I’ve done Jamboard, Google Slides, Discussion posts, padlet…I just want something different and am not able to come up with any great ideas here. Anyone come up with anything else fun or interesting? This is for an asynchronous course.

Harvard EdCast: Online Learning

Harvard EdCast: Making Online Learning Work

https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/20/10/harvard-edcast-making-online-learning-work

  • Create opportunities online for students to connect with each other as part of the school day. 
  • Keep lines of communication open and constructive between teachers and parents/guardians. 
  • Focus on core skills at home. 

There’s a distinction between online and using technology versus distance learning.

It’s going to become a lot more interactive, a lot more personal, and then teachers are going to be able to zero in a lot more on what the kids need.

A lot of teachers feel a lot of pressure to have these perfectly planned lesson plans that go exactly as intended when you get into the classroom. In this environment, it’s okay to not have the planning perfect. It’s okay if things get a little bit extemporaneous, a little improvisational in the classroom.

If I’m a teacher looking at the pie of time and energy that I have in a given week, I would try to minimize the energy that I have to put into things where I’m not interacting with students …

Teachers putting a lot of time and energy getting a setup like I have with a microphone and a pen tablet and all of that. That takes a lot of work, a lot of energy, and it’s energy that once again gets taken away from time that they could be interacting with students.
