Creating an Engaging Digital Classroom Culture for Students examines the philosophical underpinnings and practical applications of creating and maintaining a successful digital environment and culture. An established online presence starts with creating norms, fostering connections with students, and integrated diverse teaching strategies; which will in turn promote successful online distance learning. The second half of the webinar will be a panel discussion with Newton teachers to discuss successes and challenges they experienced during distance learning. Many of ideas and topics shared can be applied to a traditional classroom experience. Refreshments will be served in your own kitchen during this webinar.
