This document outlines strategies for teaching middle school science virtually. It includes an agenda covering stimulating the virtual entrance room, reviewing teaching strategies and adaptations, and reviewing handouts and lesson plans. Effective teaching strategies like direct instruction, multiple intelligences approaches, differentiation, inquiry learning, cooperative learning, graphic organizers, and the 5E learning cycle are described along with virtual adaptations. Integrating common core standards and 21st century skills into lessons is also discussed. The presenter's learning objectives are to develop engaging virtual activities and design lessons incorporating 21st century skills and standards.
The Snowpocalypse Has Been Postponed Indefinitely: Using Hybrid Flexible DesignLance Eaton
This is a presentation at a NERCOMP event on continuity of learning. This presentation explores using the hybrid flexible approach to allow for maximum learning for college students. The presentation explores how designing a course to run entirely face-to-face, online, and a mixture of both can prevent loss of learning throughout the semester.
Good tidings,

The flipped classroom brings "homework" into class time. Students get exposure first through online videos/podcasts/assigned texts, then use classroom time for higher level thinking activities like individual work, group work or paired activities. This way, the teacher is the "guide on the side" instead of the "sage on the stage".

Other Approaches (Teaching Approach, Strategy, Method and Technique)Ezr Acelar
for EDUC 205 (Principles of Teaching 1) class
covers topics such as Blended Learning, Reflective Teaching/Learning, Metacognitive Approach, Constructivist Approach and Integrated Approach.
2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
I can…
• Develop engaging and rigorous activities
that are implemented via virtual
classrooms or venues.
• Design engaging lessons for science that
incorporate 21st century skills and
common core standards.
4. Effective Teaching and Learning
Strategies:
Traditional Setting Virtual Adaptation
Direct instruction Earth’s Cycles Presentation
Multiple Intelligence
Approach
Photosynthesis and Respiration Comics
Differentiation Moon Phases Lesson
Inquiry/ Discovery Learning –
Interactive experiment
Freddie the Fish
Cooperative learning
Web quest
Jigsaw
Biomes Using Inspiration
Ecological Footprint
Biomes Reading Passages
Story writing Rock Cycle Short Story/Poem
Graphic Organizer Tides Lesson
5E Learning Cycle Portfolio – Unit 4
Interactive reading passage The Grouchy Ladybug
Backwards Design Myth Busters for Earth and Space Science
Flipped Classroom Abiotic/Biotic Factors
5. Direct Instruction
• Use a PowerPoint
• Monitor with questions
• Using poll questions and
chat pods are great
formative assessment tools
Earth's Cycles Presentation
12. • Provide explicit directions
– Keep directions posted the entire duration of the
activity
13. • Provide an
exemplar
– Show students a
creative sample
• Create one
yourself or find a
neat sample
online
– There is no need
to re-create the
wheel!
15. 5E Learning Cycle
Engage with Demo
Student tries experiment
independently
Student Explains
the Data
Conclusions
Elaborate on
Experience
Student & Teacher
Evaluate Work
18. Flipped Classroom Approach
• Create a recording and
send to students
through email
• Recordings are typically
more direct instruction
• Use class time to complete
webquest or other higher
level activities
– Debates
– Presentations
– Story writing
– Group Work
19. Integrating Other Skills
Common Core Standards
• Writing stories/poems
• Reading passages
• Vocabulary review
• Reading Comprehension
• Math Applications
• Examples:
• Fast Fingers Vocab Review
• The Grouchy Lady Bug
• Rock Cycle Story/Poem
• Comic Strips
• Biomes Reading Passage
• Calculating Ecological Footprint
21st Century Skills
• Cooperative learning
• Inquiry
• Critical thinking
• Communication skills
• Working in small groups
• Self-direction & responsibility
• Leadership
• Examples:
• All of them!
20. Questions? Comments?
• I can…
• Develop engaging and rigorous activities that are
implemented via virtual classrooms or venues.
• Design engaging lessons for science that
incorporate 21st century skills and common core
standards.
