Summary
Whilst adapting to schools closure, and the opening up of the virtual teaching format, educators have realised that a successful online teaching session takes creativity, knowledge of the curriculum, engagement, and lots of preparation.
It is essential that teachers need to be skilled at providing relevant resources to students in time, and also to schedule their time for conference meetings and prioritise events to avoid clashes.
Teachers need to focus on the clarity with which they teach, along with the relationships they build with students as mentors.
Adaptability: Learning to implement various cutting-edge technologies will help teachers create immersive learning experiences for students in an online environment.
Teachers need to be flexible in welcoming newer forms of teaching and assessment, as these dynamic times will help us understand nuances and benefits of new applications on the go.
Patience: Online teachers who take a patient approach can offer a higher level of support to their students.
With multiple network issues and system errors, teachers need to keep in consideration that students too will take time to adapt to new learning applications.
