Facilitating Quality Practice
Quality practice looks, sounds, and feels different virtually. Let's practice with tools that teachers and ed techs can use with students. We will learn about best practices for online learning, including instructor presence, learning objectives, real world applications, clear expectations, engaging students, prompt feedback, and netiquette. We will focus on two platforms: Seesaw and Google Classroom.
