Teaching During #CoronaVirus–An Old Strategy That’s Perfect

A problem with online teaching is that students have to sit through a long lecture-sort of presentation–if you’re trying to replicate your classroom teaching. Some good advice I see over and over regarding teaching online is DON’T try to replicate your physical classroom. Instead, teach using online’s strengths. A good way to do that is with a flipped classroom. Chris Landry, an eighth-grade science teacher at Memorial Middle School, said he’s been able to continue teaching students amid the closures through videos and has even provided them with fun activities to do at home. What made it easier? Flipped Classrooms:

“…adjusting to the new way of teaching was easier than expected because he was using a “flipped classroom” while schools were in session.

For a thorough overview of flipped classrooms, take a look at this infographic from Cool Infographics:

Flipped Class for Remote Teaching

The flipped classroom is particularly relevant to a remote teaching ecosystem:

• assign work to students to prepare for your virtual class
• start the virtual session by answering questions when students arrive
• stay with them online as they work on their project
