Online Teaching can be Culturally Responsive: Engaging Communal Learners with Zoom Features

Wednesday August 19, 2020 10am-12 CST

Tuesday August 25, 2020 7-9pm CST

In this 2 hour zoom, participants will run through a modified/mock elementary school day with subject topics like SEL, math, reading, science, social studies, and small group lessons. Zoom features/ remote learning strategies will be utilized to increase engagement from communal and kinesthetic learners who may have a difficult time staying seated and engaged with online lessons. Participants will act as students as they go through the strategies so they can experience how the students will receive the lessons. Some of the ideas shared will include: cooperative learning structures, fishbowls, SEL games, polling features, hand signals, breakout rooms, brain breaks, reactions, annotations, screen sharing, chat features, whiteboard features, and the use of compatible websites and apps. Teachers will walk away with resources and ideas they can utilize right away. Basic knowledge of zoom is beneficial. The cost of this webinar is $10 and space is limited.
