Using High-Impact, Evidence-Based strategies to Improve Online Teaching. “This finding suggests that the positive effects associated with blended learning should not be attributed to the medium,” the researchers wrote.
Online teaching required specialized knowledge, an understanding of the strategies that would allow teachers to adapt technology to suit their pedagogical needs—not the other way around. Yet the large-scale disruption caused by the pandemic forced millions of teachers to quickly adapt to online teaching, often with little training and preparation.

How Can Educators Tap Into Research to Increase Engagement During Remote Learning? As university professors and researchers who work closely with K-12 online teachers and learners, we’ve heard from many newly remote educators who are struggling.
Recent class discussions have focused on the difficulties of getting through to students without in-person contact, especially during a time of enormous stress. Some teachers report that their students lack interest and in the worst cases, that students are dropping from classes entirely. From our experience both in the online classroom and in training teachers to teach online, this is familiar territory and typically happens about six weeks into a new school session.
The newness has worn off, the excitement around technology wanes and teachers often struggle finding ways to engage with their students. The crucial question that has emerged is: how do we engage learners when we are not together physically? There isn’t one solution for increasing learner engagement and motivation.

Teachers are trying to adjust their instruction rapidly, and many are doing remote teaching for the first time. Experience matters, and it can be frustrating trying to help our students in this new way with everything else happening right now. Fortunately, a recent study by Swapna Kumar, Florence Martin, Albert Ritzhaupt, and Kiran Budhrani in the open-access journal Online Learning shares the stories of a group of eight award-winning online instructors with a combined 109 years of experience teaching online courses. Save Hours: Pull The Tables. Pull Student Responses From a Google Doc I’ve said many times, I would rather hit myself in the head with a brick than open 30 Google Docs (or Slides, or Sheets…). My rule of thumb is to only assign individual student work that I have to open 20% of the time or less. For those times when I do need individual student docs I try to let coding make the workload lighter.

5 Tips for Designing Asynchronous or Remote Learning. While real-time class time is often most familiar and preferred, it’s not always realistic given home circumstances.
Rather than thinking about learning as something that always has to happen together in a classroom or even “together” online, virtual learning provides us with a wonderful opportunity to rethink personalized learning through asynchronous teaching (translation for my friends who are new to virtual learning: asynchronous just means the learningdoesn’t happen all at the same time). So here are some best practices to consider as you create these learning experiences for your students: 1.

Integration Guide - Google Slides. 40 Viewing Comprehension Strategies. 40 Viewing Comprehension Strategies: Watching Videos Like You Read A Book by Terry Heick You can’t watch a video like you read a book; the modalities couldn’t be more different.
On the surface level a video uses light, color, sound, and moving images, with the potential for adding text and shape and color and light filters as overlays to communicate ideas, while the most basic text structures use alphanumeric symbols, paragraph and sentence structure, and an assortment of text features (e.g., white space, headings and subheadings, fonts, etc.) to convey their message. There is much, much more to it than this.

Word Love and Notable Articles. The 7 Best USB Headsets of 2020. If you’re in the market for a stereo gaming headset that comes with a futuristic design, complete with LED lights on the side of each earcup, the BENGOO G9000 is for you. The G9000 has a decidedly different design than most other headsets.

BENGOO’s headset is designed for gaming first and can work with a variety of consoles, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and others. You can also plug the headset into a computer or mobile phone if you’re so inclined.
The G9000 comes with a stereo-quality sound that’s bolstered by a built-in subwoofer to deliver all the bass you’d want to hear in a game. The microphone can be rotated up when it’s not in use. While you’re playing a game, you’ll find a volume control on the 49-inch cable that’s connected to the headset, allowing you to adjust sound on the fly.
