Instructional Technology

 

Teachers! On this page, I hope you will find some valuable resources as you facilitate eLearning. Often times the hardest part is getting started. Have you asked yourself:

 

"What are the best practices for teaching online?"

"What  can I do for my students who have low or no access to technology?"

Maintain classroom community.  Don’t reinvent the wheel Get kids moving with tools like Go Noodle and CalmConnect - and do it together with videos on! Communicate with families. Involve families in students’ learning with tools like ClassDojo, SeeSaw and Google Classroom. Make it interactive.  Connect face-to-face through Google Hangout,, even asynchronously using tools like Flipgrid and SeeSaw.

Get back to basics: Think about what foundational skills each student can address and how you can individually tailor a plan for them.  Get on the phone: Set up a weekly call with each of your students. Prepare plans for them at home in which they can easily update you on their progress.  Problem-Based Learning: Be able to provide real-world examples of issues we are facing today.  FCSD support: In addition, the district is offering access to the Internet. Details can be found on the eLearning page for FCSD.

Additionally, I have put together some resources for YOU to help you continue the learning at home with your students using the FCSD eLearning Teacher Resources presentation!
