To succeed in distance learning, it's essential to stay organized and disciplined. The guide emphasizes the importance of clear communication and engagement, so make sure to actively participate in virtual classes and discussions. Additionally, these articles gave helpful information on incorporating technology in education and how to empowering teachers to adapt to the virtual learning environment with confidence. First, we need to take advantage of interactive learning tools and online platforms. We need to encourage students to stay motivated and proactive in their studies, seeking support from teachers and peers when needed. As a teacher, we need to teach students to embrace the flexibility of distance learning and use it to tailor their learning approach to suit their unique preferences and pace. A key thing to remember is that consistent engagement, effective time management, and proactive use of digital learning tools are key to succeeding in your distance learning journey with the help of these online resources. K-12 education is transforming substantially with the surge of hybrid and remote learning. Having the appropriate technology and resources is important for students’ learning experience and development. Identify technology solutions that support security, immersive learning, and smart schools in your school or district. How is your implementation of them supportive of your K-12 learners?
Before COVID my school was more of a cave-man education teaching approach with basic paper and pencil, shared mobile computers on wheels, and sometimes projector and document camera usage (if they were working), now we have more document cameras, digital whiteboards, school-wide usage of Remind and Canvas/Google Classroom, ipads, and 1-to-1 chromebooks/tablets in every class. We have been working to move towards a more differentiated approach with integrated technology. I think that COVID really helped push us towards this, as we had to learn to use technology to engage our online learners. My students have really loved engaging with the digital whiteboard and are always so excited to come up to the board to share their thinking. As we have moved back into the classroom, we have found a hole in our security for students. We do not have personal software installed on each computer, such as GoGuardian, and we only have a school filter that prevents key words from being searched and/or flagged. We need to find something that will allow us to protect our students.
