There are many ways to kick off the new school year that will work and be helpful whether we are in our classrooms, in a hybrid learning model, or fully virtual learning. Here are five ideas to get started with:
Educators play a crucial role in how they approach teaching and how they get students ready for real life in today’s society. They need to teach students a set of skills that will help them function as adapted and adaptable citizens that will eventually contribute to the growth of the entire society.
Whether you’re charged with supporting the learning of one online student or many, there is a way to make distance education not only effective but addictive. The key is to optimize the user experience, using gamification, social media, and customized content and interfaces to make distance learning fun.
Mindfulness-based intervention can improve cognitive performance, resilience, and mental health. It can also help students focus during lessons. The easiest way to start a mindfulness practice in your own physical or virtual classroom is to incorporate short and easy techniques in your everyday lessons.
By finding ways to make e-learning fun and engaging, parents can ensure that students get as much out of a year of e-learning as possible. In fact, e-learning can even highlight some new possibilities that weren’t possible in the physical classroom.
Since remote teaching and learning might continue for a while, it’s high time to reconsider digital wellbeing for both students and teachers and adopt some guidelines for this new normal. By putting a spin to the PERMA model, we can overcome this challenge
Beyond having the power to make education accessible, even during a global pandemic, there are many advantages to online learning. In this post, we explore five benefits of online learning for educators.
Back when this school year started, nobody would have imagined just how different the world would become by the end of it. We can never know what the future holds, nor how close it actually is. But integrating edtech into the daily lives of students, teachers, parents, and everyone in the entire education community could prove key to future-proofing education.
As much as we want our world to return to normal, we cannot forget that last year’s normal wasn’t perfect. We are in a unique position where we can vividly recall the great things about school – especially the relationships and new worlds opened up by education – and to try to change the parts that were unhelpful and sometimes even harmful.
Using technology to set up an interlinked ecosystem between the school, students, and their parents, where there is regular communication and transparency, requires just a bit of effort at the beginning and the right platform to support this. However, doing this will make a positive difference for everyone involved.
