21 Ways to Structure and Online Discussion, Part 1: www.facultyfocus.com/articles/online-education/online-student-engagement/21-ways-to-structure-an-online-discussion-part-1/
Online discussions can become tedious, especially when required several times a week in multiple classes. This article offers suggestions that can vary the types of discussions that students are asked to do while also providing creative ways of thinking and discussing what is being learned in class. How to Structure Your Online Class for Inclusion, Part 1: www.facultyfocus.com/articles/online-education/online-student-engagement/how-to-structure-your-online-class-for-inclusion-part-1/
While this article was written for college classes, the ideas are applicable for all age levels. The ideas, although not necessarily new, are ones that educators would benefit from reviewing even after students return to their traditional way of learning. How to Manage an Online Book Club: www.edutopia.org/article/how-manage-online-book-club
"A fan of book clubs shares tips for running them online with students or colleagues -- both now and after the pandemic." I especially liked the practical ideas in this article and how book clubs can be used in a variety of situations. These could be in-class, hybrid, online, extracurricular, with students and/or adults (parents or teachers), etc. March Equinox Brings Spring to the North: www.timeanddate.com/calendar/march-equinox.html
Around 9:37 UTC on Saturday, March 20, the Sun crosses the celestial equator toward the north. This moment marks the Northern Hemisphere's spring equinox and the the first day of astronomical spring. The March equinox s also the Southerner Hemisphere's fall or autumnal equinox and kickstarts the South's fall season. This site explains in detail how this works and also tells when the March Equinox occurs where the viewer of the site lives. Bringing the Outdoors Online: Creating Online Field Labs: www.facultyfocus.com/articles/online-education/online-course-design-and-preparation/bringing-the-outdoors-online-creating-online-field-labs/
While this article was written for college instructors when labs are closed, I think the authors' ideas will be applicable in a number of situations in the K-12 classroom. There are times when going outside of the classroom is not feasible for the entire class or certain members of the class yet it is important for students to have hands-on experience. These ideas would be especially helpful in project-based learning classrooms. Why You Should Be a Selfish Instructor: www.facultyfocus.com/articles/philosophy-of-teaching/why-you-should-be-a-selfish-instructor/
While there are not a lot of new ideas in this article, I like how the authors provide reasons for making sure that instructors take time to care for themselves and the reasons this is important. The type of scheduling they suggest is especially important at this time when teachers' work never seems to be done. While this was written for college instructors, the ideas in the article are applicable for teachers at any grade level. Podcasting for Educators: www.techlearning.com/how-to/podcasting-for-educators
I especially like that this article says to focus on the content and then spend money, if needed, on equipment. There is also a link to a day long, free Pro audio Tech Summit on April 1, 2021. |
