Intro: Lockdown reality check.

Decision-making: platforms and challenges.• Connectivity

• Devices available

• Effectiveness & Availability

• Best performance: Individual or group classes

• User friendly / Age group

• Synchronous and/or Asynchronous class delivery

More challenges…How our students use technologyin their social networks…

How our students use technologywhen learning online…

Adapting Materials & ApproachesMisconceptions:

• an online class is just as a face-to-face lesson.

• you can use all the same material.

• teaching online: providing online interactive exercise forms or asynchronous assignments.

Some food for thought: Neuroscience has been showing that…

• the human brain is created for relationship- to be social.

• for the brain to function holistically it needs to work in a safe and trusting environment,

with low levels of stress and with the use of creativity.

• this activation of emotional circuits promotes cognition, memory boost, executive brain

systems and intelligence.References

Sample Task 1 “online TIC-TAC-TOE”

Sample Task 2 “Augmented Reality”

How to give a twist to a book/manual page by using a layer

When adapting bear in mind to…

• use our interpersonal skills, creative methods and personalities to create

enriched environments – the surprise element.

• use multisensory activities to stimulate neuroplasticity and brain development

– promote self-discovery ( flipped- classroom).

• admit that a one-size-fits-all model of education is doomed to fail - use variety

of tasks and approaches.

• have as trainers a keen perception, adaptability, and pedagogical innovation to

trespass the screen.

• build rapport and interact with students even a bit more than when we are face to

face.

• Give your materials a twist, have plans a, b, c…

• Take it up a notch.

In a nutshell…

Migrating your lesson to an online format implies:

• the articulation of diverse technological, pedagogical, and methodological aspects.

• careful classroom observation, and perception of effectiveness, trial and

erros(reflective teaching).

• confidence that is not SO difficult to implement, just a bit more time consuming.
