And we survived a week of online learning. Yay!
Because we were able to pull through, below are the articles I shared to our faculty and support staff in school.
Teaching Through A Pandemic: A Mindset for This Moment by Stephen Merrill - I like this article because it keeps things real. Educators from countries that have closed their schools share their stories of coping, survival and keeping faith and hope alive in a time of uncertainty.
True Pedagogy by Steve Wheeler - a good read for when you need to reflect, review and re-examine teaching practices. Most of the time, we get side tracked by the administrative work that goes along with teaching, the prescribed standards of the program as well as the required assessments. Revisiting the purpose for teaching helps in identifying effective processes old and new.
Tips in Instructional Design for Online Classes - the article begins with an emphasis on the alignment of content with learning objectives and assessment. Number 4 tip
is a discussion on Cognitive Loading reminding teachers of the importance of pacing, chunking and taking short pauses in between for rest and reflection.
From Nick Peachy, who offers more practical advice to teachers when teaching online.
Hardware and Software - this is all tech stuff and the gadgets you will need for online classes
6 Tips for Moving Your Class Online - the article has practical tips for setting up a work space at home to ensuring tech support
