Being an online educator and leveraging the ability to enrich young minds with online education is something that is an entire learning opportunity on its own. Yes, teachers may need to deliver the same or similar outlines to their students as if they were in a traditional classroom, but the approach must be tailored to conform to the online culture so those students can grasp and retain the information delivered to them. With that as the core ideology of successful online learning, knowing how to be a great online educator is the key foundation to really fulfill your role and make a positive impact. 

1. REALISTIC TIPS FOR EDUCATORS USING
ONLINE LEARNING

2. The State of Remote Education 2020

3. What’s going on
out there?
Campus
shutdowns lead to
surge in remote
learning

4. Mid-Semester Transition
Spring 2020

5. How We’re Currently Working to Support Colleges & Universities
Just a few schools we’re working with include the College of Education &
Communications at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Case Western Reserve
University. IUP is using the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack2 as part of an advanced lecture
capture audiovisual system. The University is using Zoom Video Conferencing
software to connect their classrooms to the world allowing professors the ability to
bring in remote guests and classroom participants.

6. Lecture Capture WFH
Two webcam types
USB 2.0
1. Affordable but High Quality
USB 3.0
1. Powerful and future proof

7. What will Fall
look like?
Mid-Semester Transition ?

12. DON’T BE AFRAID
TO TRY ANYTHING
You never know what is
going to connect with which
student

13. JUST LIKE IN A CLASSROOM
don’t hesitate to set a guide of expectations of behavior but also understand
things will/can change quickly

14. B-ROLL (VIDEO CLIPS)
Have b-roll (video clips) to catch their attention or
break up the hour long lecture

15. TAKE TIME TO LISTEN
Student will at times tell you what they need and sometimes you as an
educator used to be the one consistent in their life, they might just need you
to listen to them

16. PROVIDE INSTANT FEEDBACK.
With the technology we have they can turn something in through
Google or email. There are tools like ZipGrade and Google Forms
that will grade a majority of work, do it quick and get it back to the
student, you will be surprised at how fast they return it with
corrections if you allow it.

17. CONNECT WITH THE
PARENTS AS WELL
Too many times the answer to “what
did you do today” is answered with
“nothing”. Send the parents the
power points, PDFs and lectures. Let
them engage with the students also
at home from a base of knowledge

18. TRY OUT
CLASSCRAFT FOR
SOME FRIENDLY
COMPETITION
I am going to use it to engage the
students in mini quizzes like mini lessons
and put class against class for control of
the world based on points. Of course first
will be group vs group in the class

19. OFFER ONE ON ONE ZOOM SESSIONS FOR STUDENTS
WHO WANT IT
Students will be less
afraid to ask questions
they may keep to
themselves in larger
group settings.

20. CHECK IN WITH STUDENTS VIA EMAIL.

21. DR. HARRY WONG SAID

If you see something that works, steal it." Incorporate
fun things you see on TV or other classes into your
zoom channel.
Play around with virtual backdrops. Give students a
sense of familiarity
Use a picture of the school hallway or front office and use
that for the backdrop.

22. STUDENTS ALWAYS WANT TO BE ON THEIR DEVICES AT
LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE THEY WALK OUT THE DOOR
2020
Use reviews or mini quizzes on Google
Classwork so students can get it done
it first before they go to their social
media accounts.
As I told my department chair, I was
going to take the advice of my very
first principal, He said with some
classes you treat them like "wild horses.
Sometimes to be successful you find
out where they want to go, get on
your horse and get in front of them,
and lead them there."

23. STUDENTS WANT TO USE
TECHNOLOGY
as a teacher it was my job to figure out how to get my lessons
on the technology they wanted to use.

24. TEACHERS THAT DO LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS
MAKE THE KIDS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR
REMEMBER ABLE

25. 80% OF THE INTERACTION WITH A TEACHER FROM A
STUDENT WILL BE ON A SMARTPHONE
only using a
computer for more
detailed work like
presentations and
papers
But even then they
were showing
what they could
do on a phone
and it blew me
away

26. SPEECH TO TEXT
Students can speak faster than
they can type. Using speech to
text can help students get chat
questions into your online
meetings. Making it easier to
get the information out there
the more likely students will risk
putting answers out there.

27. THINK ABOUT
USING A WEBCAM
ALONG WITH A
DOCUMENT
CAMERA AS IF
YOU ARE PLAYING
A TABLETOP GAME
If you are looking for something to aspire
towards, look at the RPG Tabletop
Gaming videos that show multiple people
with cameras views of the table they are
playing a game on. This would be ideal
for a teacher with a webcam and a
document camera.
