eTeaching 101 - be ready to teach online

Rachel Whalley —

COVID19 is having a huge impact in Aotearoa New Zealand and globally. How are you preparing for when the impacts are closely felt in your school and community? Join experienced NZ eteachers in this online workshop which will support you with the basics of preparing to teach online.

"We are already using Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams, right? Just throw in some video conferencing via Zoom or Google Hangouts and we are away.
Well, I am sorry to say; it isn’t as easy as that. In a blended environment, learners are with the teacher face to face for a significant amount of time. What happens when the teacher is no longer present? How do you keep learners engaged when they can do a multitude of other, often more interesting things? How many of our students are self-managing? How many adults could say that?
It isn’t as simple as just putting things for students to work through online." Coronovirus and Education: Are we ready?

This workshop will explore some of the key pedagogies of online teaching and learning, strategies for student engagement, areas for skills development and ongoing support and professional learning.  Whether your digital capabilities are a beginner or confident, this workshop will help raise awareness, build your confidence, capability and connections with others.
