Art of Engaging Students in a Hybrid Learning Model
Hybrid teaching has become a common scenario for many teachers this school year. It presents more challenges than merely teaching online or in-person. However, the goal of student engagement and language input has remained the same. This session will introduce some highly-effective activities for engaging classes and the designing principles behind them. Albeit not a panacea, it will start the much-needed discussion on hybrid teaching with the participants. *This event was not recorded.
