I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with different tech tools to find out what works best for students. But if you are in a space where you are searching for some tools to manage remote learning for the next few weeks, I wanted to share what’s helped me.Īlthough I only taught online for a few months, I spent 3 years teaching in a 1:1 environment with Chromebooks & Google Classroom. You do not need to do any or all of these things if you physically or mentally cannot. If this list stresses you, exit out of the tab and take care of yourself.
Give your students resources, lessons, and guidance, and hope for the best.Īlthough I am about to share 20 of my favorite ed tech tools, please know that you do not need to do or download All Of The Things. But do the best you can during this tumultuous time, and don’t worry about the rest. DO THE BEST YOU CAN, AND DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE REST: This is not going to perfect…it’s going to be far from it.Remember that students will be worried about other things: their health and their family members’, an unpredictable schedule, taking care of younger siblings, the reliability of their devices and internet connection, etc. As long as your district is not requiring live lessons, plan asynchronous work that students can complete at their own pace and on their own time. Students need flexibility and grace, just like you do. SUPPORT YOUR STUDENTS: Don’t overwhelm them with work.Keep your mental and physical health at the top of your priority list. Do not let online teaching consume your life and add to your anxiety. YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR PRIORITY: You’re probably overwhelmed and stressed during this pandemic, and that is normal.
Pretending like that is possible is insulting to the virtual teachers among us. There is no way that you can design an entire online curriculum in a matter of hours or days. You were not trained or prepared for this. YOU CAN’T DO IT ALL: You’re not an online teacher.But before I add to overwhelming amount of information and ideas already out there, I want to remind you of a few things as you prepare for remote learning: SAFE: All subscriptions can be paid via Paypal or Stripe, so your sensitive banking information is never seen nor stored by our website.If you are facing the daunting task of teaching online due to the coronavirus, I want to help.
