Thank you. I am currently teaching online and have “hard copy” students. I kind of feel bad for my hard copy students as they dont engage with my lessons and get to talk to me in person as the online students do. I also feel like “Am I teaching my students effectively?” or Am I teaching at a right pace for them? I meet my online kids every Tues/Thursdays and most of their other Teachers are only meeting them once a week. I feel its “healthy” to meet with them twice a week as we all need that social interaction and I, too want to speak to someone different other than people at my household.
My only problem are my hard copy students where I have to prepare what lesson to give them; print 61 copies at school; pack each assignment to a folder given to my student and staff at our school distributes them on Fridays at which parents pick them up and drop off last weeks assignments. I used to have 90 kids and now down to 61. I know it is a struggle for everyone but I am trying my best to educate my students as the best I know and sometimes I just feel overwhelmed and concerned about if I am doing my job correctly.
Mandy, you’re not alone and I don’t think there is a “correct” way to do all of this right now. There are so many different scenarios and situations, that it’s hard to find an exact answer. It sounds like you care deeply for your students and I’m sure that comes through in all you do with them.
Great explanation of Flipped Learning & examples of how it can be implemented! It seems like it would be a very helpful method to facilitate independent student learning while also keeping them engaged. I have read about this technique and seen it demonstrated in webinars, but haven’t tried it out for myself yet.
Kristin, thank you for commenting! My hope is that it does just what you said, support independent learning and engagement, while also taking some pressure off the teacher!
