Professional Development - Online Teaching

Ms Manjula - Year 3 & 4

Welcome

• Today we going to do a fun quiz on the do's and don'ts in online teaching and learning.

• We have been doing online learning for the past 6 months now, and the one thing I have noticed is how each of us have built on our existing knowledge to give the best versions of our creativity into this new way of learning.

We can never stop learning

• However many of us still feel anxious when we hear the words 'class pop in's', 'appraisals', parent complains or that we may just not be doing some things right.

• Let's discuss a few do's and don'ts that have worked for us.

Have we left anything out?

Any further suggestions to better at this?
