5 Traps That Will Kill Online Learning (and Strategies to Avoid Them) For perhaps the first time in recent memory, parents and teachers may be actively encouraging their children to spend more time on their electronic devices. Online learning has moved to the front stage as 90 percent of high-income countries are using it as the primary means of educational continuity amid the COVID-19 pandemic. If March will forever be remembered as the month that virtually all the world’s countries closed their school doors, will April be remembered as the month that the students around the world embraced the world of online learning? There is no shortage of optimistic speculation from education experts and innovators that this experience will have a transformative effect on education after the pandemic is over. I certainly hope this will be true. But what if it is not?
Better than Zoom: Try these free software tools for staying in touch In times like these it becomes all the more important to remember that tools like Zoom, Slack, and Facebook Messenger are not benign public services, and while the sentiment they've expressed to the global community in responding to the crisis may be sincere, it hasn't addressed the fundamental ethical issues with any piece of proprietary software. After taking the LibrePlanet 2020 conference online, we received a number of requests asking us to document our streaming setup. As the pandemic grew worse, this gave way to more curiosity about how the Free Software Foundation (FSF) uses free tools and free communication platforms to conduct our everyday business. And while the stereotype of hackers hunched over a white on black terminal session applies to us in some ways, many of the tools we use are available in any environment, even for people who do not have a lot of technical experience.

How to Build Connections with Students Online As many students are at home during the pandemic, teachers are searching for ways to connect with students in the online classroom. In Jennifer Gonzalez’s “Creating Moments of Genuine Connection Online,” from Cult of Pedagogy, teacher Dave Stuart Jr. shares simple ways to develop relationships with students, even in a digital classroom. The process is one Stuart developed when he first started teaching high school and found himself devoting hours to relationship building—leaving him with little time for lesson planning, grading, or curriculum development. Under necessity, Stuart came up with new, shorter ways—even in just one to three minutes—to make meaningful connections with all of his students. “The moments are embedded inside the work you’re already doing as a teacher,” says Stuart, who now offers a mini-course for other teachers on the topic.

End of the Year Exit Ticket: Evaluating Online Learning As the year comes to a close, I encourage teachers to take a moment and collect feedback from students about their experiences learning online in the last few months. We do not know what fall 2020 will look like–in person, online, or a combination of both. I think it’s likely that schools will begin the year online or adopt a blended learning model that allows for fewer students on campus at one time.
+ Bitmoji bring next level engagement to virtual classrooms and study at home Connecting with students virtually can be challenging, when you’re on one side of the screen, and they’re on the other. Let your Bitmoji help you run the virtual lesson and make it awesome! This school year, many teachers turned to Bitmoji to create a safe, familiar and motivating environment in their virtual lessons. According to teachers, they’re “hooked,” “addicted,” or “obsessed” with creating their Bitmoji classrooms – and we can see why!
