Teachers who assign work for distance learning, don't assume your students can print the pdf's you send. Many don't have printers. I'm a tech guy and haven't owned a printer in 20 years. #PubPDAsia
A4: 1) Help them understand what distracts them - often they don't realize it. 2) Help them learn to manage distractions with apps like heyfocus.com 3) Turn of all notifications 4) Make school communication channels different from personal #PubPDAsia
A4: We discussed this exact question on our podcast today. podcast.concordiashanghai.org/blog/2021/01/2… Distance Learning has increased kids' screen time, tech addiction & distraction. As these kids return to the classroom, how do we deal with "The Covid Effect"? #PubPDAsia#PubPd21CLHK
A3: There is a mental health toll
to be considered if rapid change is the new norm. It is not sustainable and leads to burn out. The welfare of our teachers should be considered along with the welfare of our students. We all know how martyrs end up. #PubPDAsia
A2: AI has potential to take over mundane tasks so teachers can focus on building relationships & interacting with students. EX: Facial recognition for automated attendance #PubPDAsia
A1: Have "just in case" bags ready to send home. Never assume students have basic school supplies at home. Online learning is not all about tech. Prepare for offline off-screen activities as well.
