COVID-19 has pushed the field of education online much sooner than many educators anticipated. Teachers everywhere are adjusting old and trying to adopt new learning strategies to better serve their students in a digital world.
This vlog was created using the answers from a questionnaire I conducted with teachers around the world. discussing technology in the classroom. I talk about integrated lesson plans, strategies, ethics, and digital learning during COVID19.
A checklist for creating technology-enhanced learning plans:
- Does the teconology benefit students of all learning levels, styles and backgrounds in the class?
- Are all students able to access resources besides at school? If not, what adjustments can be made to accomodate those students?
- What is the real-world application of the technological skills the students are using/acquiring in this exercise?
- Is the technology conscientious about protecting student data and privacy? If students need to give some personal information, is the level of exposure acceptable compared to the benefits of usage?
- What is an alternate activity or backup plan in case the technology is not working or not responsive?
