Teaching is challenging in the best of times. But being thrown into remote teaching with little warning takes challenging to a whole new level. As you get started on this module, think back to the spring and identify one or two of the biggest challenges you faced while teaching remotely. Take a minute to add your challenges to this Padlet: https://padlet.com/areardon/remotechallenges. Please make a separate note for each challenge you post. You can include your name if you wish. After sharing your own posts, take a look at a few that your colleagues have posted. Are there others who have similar challenges?

Teacher and ed tech guru, Sam Kary has written an article outlining ten tips for successfully making the transition to remote teaching. Each tip features links to a variety of digital tools, most of which we already use in our district (and one or two that we’re working on).

As you read, consider the challenges you identified on the Padlet. See if you can find an idea shared in the article that could help you meet one of those challenges. Or maybe you’ll see something that could address a challenge you noticed on a colleague’s post. Read with the goal of finding a new idea or strategy to make your remote teaching more successful. You might have to click on a few links and watch a video or two to get the details, but if it helps you meet your goals, it will be time well-spent.

Choose one (or more) of the tools you read about in the article and explore further. If it’s a tool you’re familiar with, is there a new way to use it to meet the challenges of remote learning? If it’s a new tool, take some time to experiment and get familiar with it.
