OLC Online Learning Workshops - Professional Development - 1 views

  •  
    I don't have personal knowledge of these courses, but I've heard from others that they are good. OLC is one of the main organizations for post-secondary information about teaching online. See if your school has a membership that you can take advantage of for conferences and workshops.

    very interesting article! I actually like Zoom and its features and agree with Stephen Hersh. we as teachers will need to look through another lens now and try to adapt to teaching online in a new productive way.
  •  
    Like the article - when we switched remotely, my advice for the ASL instructors is to keep it simple, to the point and encourage breakaway groups, encourage conversations using new signs, come up with short stories (movies)....most of the students enjoyed it. When the semester ended, we decided we should learn more tech tips and find other features using ZOOM. Its interesting!

    This is nice! Super helpful since many of us are Zoom users! And not to mention that we are not alone in this!
  •  
    Yes!! My main takeaway is that online class is not just a duplication of in-person class. Some things have to be done completely differently. I like the part about no lectures. One thing I know is that my fall online classes aren't going to have long lectures...

    This was really useful! I especially liked how he said he used his mini-lectures as a way to kick start group work. I do think that using Zoom, even though not ideal, can bring us to better ways of doing things with our students. I like how he posits that it forced him to talk less and have students participate more. If this is a benefit of the pandemic, then I welcome it (although all the other stuff --no!).

    This post reminded me that InsideHigherEd is a great resource for keeping tabs not only on post-secondary education policy, but also on technology. I'll absolutely be delving into their archive!

    Yes,Greg, Agreed, great resource!!! Will use often.

    Zoom! I'm pretty sure Stephen Hersch is my neighbor! Teaches at Northwestern. "Stop talking so much!" Yes. Great take away. I saw this video when I looked up to see what TEACHx is since he's involved. Started in 2016. But this linked video https://vimeo.com/249442007 is 4 Northwestern students and how they use technology. Evidently they use Canvas as well. I want to look up want one student said about his Spanish class. But what I liked is one of the students talks about when she doesn't use technology. After having said that all her life she had never used her laptop so much, but still in class the expectation is to arrive prepared and be ready to discuss. Hersch says the same for the what is one of the best uses of Zoom... time for students to discuss. Now! How to really get them all to prepare!?

Holding Synchronous Online Office Hours - Center for Teaching and Learning | Learning H... - 1 views

  • Research indicates that instructor presence in an online course directly impacts students’ learning outcomes. Hosting synchronous online office hours is one way you can build presence in your course because it gives your students a chance to ask questions and get clarification on course material. Luckily, holding office hours is easy in an online course. You just need to be logged in to your learning management system (LMS) and available to students during specified hours.
  •  
    What a simple way to provide for your students. Perhaps those of you teaching at the post secondary level already do this, but at the high school level we do not have office hours because it can't be built into our schedules. However, perhaps a bit of time each day may encourage a strong feedback loop.

    For when we're missing mingling closer than 6 feet. Not sure if this is for post-secondary only.

Let's Be GridPals - 1 views

  •  
    I really like this concept!! Unfortunately we are not allowed to use flip-grid:(
  •  
    Is it not available because of access (too much? you can set up so only students with your district's email can respond), or is it because of the possibility of kids using other kid's videos and images?
