Optimizing Virtual Learning Series for Teachers: Episode 1 - Moving Content Online (What to Keep, Toss, or Reinvent) Ahead of Tomorrow
-
- Education
Optimizing Virtual Learning Series is relevant for ANY facilitator, trainer, teacher (adult or K-12). But really - I recorded this to help those in greatest need right now: our K-12 teachers.
This episode will focus on a 4-step process to consider as you are planning your virtual content:
1. Focus on essential content (Lift & Shift does NOT work)
2. Calculate how long you need, versus how long you actually have
3. Plan your critical activities
4. Thread in the content
Virtual CAN BE just as engaging and beneficial as in-person...if we design and deliver content in a meaningful way.
Our world shifted overnight from in-person to virtual, including the way we learn. It's possible you spent your entire teaching career in the classroom - you knew your syllabus by heart, you knew the way your students learned, and you knew how to keep them engaged. And now you are having to unlearn what you knew and relearn a new reality. But how could you possibly have time to unlearn and relearn when you are navigating the pandemic, your personal life, and making every effort to ensure your students are safe. Maybe little direction, or even no direction, has been given to you for best practices or tips & tricks.
Maybe not every best practice will be valuable for you, but I assure you many will be worth your time. And don't forget - you can listen to podcasts with increased speed to save time. Change the speed on your platform if I, or anyone else, is talking too slow. Personalize the speed for your need.
Please reach out to me on Linkedin or keith@keithkeating.com if I can be of service to any teacher organization (K-12).
Thank you teachers for all that you do. You are the bedrock of our future.
