Remote Learning 101
The tips, tools and practices you need to teach remotely
When schools started closing their buildings and going online, educators were sent scrambling. After the dust settled, they were left with some questions:
- How can learning continue to go forward during remote learning? (CAN it go forward?)
- How can I build relationships and provide for my students emotionally?
- How can I make the most of video calls and recorded videos?
- Can I do this?
In this FREE course, Remote Learning 101, educators will get lots of practical tips, ideas and resources to make a plan for remote learning. They'll think through some of the key parts of it. They'll take practical steps toward building the remote learning class they need -- and their students need.
The course includes:
- More than 2 hours of personal video footage with course instructor Matt Miller of Ditch That Textbook
- A community element with discussion questions for the comments section of each module
- Extra resources, including downloadable templates, video tutorials, podcast episodes and more
- Downloadable (or printable) planning documents to help educators think through their plans
Did we mention this course is FREE??? You'll finish this course and think, "Wow, I can't believe they're giving this away!"
