3 Remote Teaching Tips You Needed Yesterday
#remoteteaching #distancelearning
Whether you are on Zoom, Meet or any other virtual meeting platform, these three tips will help any teacher take their class to the next level. Remote teaching has changed the game and made all educators feel like first year teachers again.
This video covers some advice, tips and tricks that should be in every educators toolbox. I'd like to inspire you to create dynamic and rich, multimedia presentations for your students. Educators are tasked with competing for students attention in a rich multimedia culture, so we have to bring our "A" game every period of every day.
Using multiple devices can help you to do all of the jobs that are required of you in every class besides just hosting a class. Monitor the chat, scan the students, evaluate work as it is turned in, take attendance and so much more. All of the requirements of a teacher are best done with a handful of devices. Not to mention, using your other devices to act as hosts or participants in your own meeting. Mobile devices can be used as document cameras or just provide the playback experience of your own performance in class. This way you can ensure the students see and hear everything you want them to with you.
Finally we talk about ways to engage with the camera itself to entertain, educate and draw the student into your content. Using hand gestures and eye contact-directly into the camera will help build trusting relationships with you and your students and keep them engaged.
