This
session explores how the educational experience transforms when instruction
moves from face-to-face to an online environment. As educators recover from the crisis mode of
transitioning to online learning we can begin to design instruction for online learning. Influenced by the article Successfully
Taking Offline Classes Online by
Catlin R. Tucker, this session will investigate the
roles of the teacher presence, social presence, and content presence in an
online learning environment.
Mindy
Geschke, Educator Quality Consultant at the ESC of Northeast Ohio, will be
facilitating these sessions. She held
various roles in twelve years working at a state-wide online school, including
classroom teacher (HS mathematics), online content specialist, OTES evaluator,
and district level administration.
A few
questions we will discuss:
= Can Google Classroom serve as our Learning Management
System (LMS)?
= How does the role of the teacher change in an online
learning environment?
= Can teachers use the same classroom/content resources
online as they did face-to-face?
= How do evaluators conduct online teacher observations?
= What does formative assessment look like online?
= What are best practices for live instruction? Does it look the same across grade levels?
