Continue engaging students.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When broadcasting lessons, make sure to dedicate time for students to ask questions. Pause periodically to invite participation. Remember to also ask probing questions to the entire class, groups, and individual students throughout each lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Make active learning a priority in the virtual classroom.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know how hard it can be to stay focused in a long, boring lecture. With online learning, you can bet it\u2019s even harder. Take your normal classroom practices and incorporate them into your virtual classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make it a priority to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coordinate with other teachers to ensure there are adequate breaks between sessions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage discussions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assign homework.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assign group work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use videos as part of the lesson plan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take breaks.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>4. Communicate in writing which apps and tools your class will be using.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Send out an email with clear instructions on how students and parents can acquire the apps you\u2019ll be using. Consider customizing this email for your own needs:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving forward, our class will be conducted via the [insert video platform] online meeting system. Classes will still continue as they normally would, and students are expected to attend. Everyone should have their webcams turned on and microphones muted. If you have a question, you can raise your hand or type a question in the chat.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click here to download [insert video platform]. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email, and I will help you get set up.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/rcapp.html\"><b>Choose a communications solution<\/b><\/a><b> that combines both video meetings and messaging.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s much simpler to have both video meeting and messaging capabilities on the same app than on two separate apps. Students and parents only have to download a single app, and communicating is also much easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, an entire class can be added to a single team in the app. When class begins, the teacher can select the right team and start a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video-call.html\">video call<\/a> with just a click. When class is finished, students and teachers can keep the dialogue going by chatting through the team or messaging specific people directly, and even posting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/record-online-meetings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recording<\/a> of the class for those who missed it or want to revisit the content.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Teach with a wired headset.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built-in microphones on laptops don\u2019t offer the best sound quality, and when you\u2019re teaching a class, you\u2019ll want the audio to be crisp. At the same time, wireless headsets can run out of juice before the end of your day, leaving you with your low-quality laptop microphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider investing in a wired USB microphone or headset. There are tons of affordable ones (less than $30) on Amazon that\u2019ll do the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Use a wired internet connection.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wi-Fi is handy and convenient, but we\u2019ve all had disconnects at critical times before. To make sure your internet connection is as solid as possible, use a hardwired Ethernet connection from your PC to your modem\/router.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Mute participants who get too noisy.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as teachers can silence their classrooms before a lesson, they can do the same in their virtual classrooms with just the click of a button. This can be useful if a student gets too loud or if they have unmanageable background noise. Of course, make sure you\u2019re the host of each of your video sessions so you have full control over your class.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Record lessons for videos on demand.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the strongest advantages of online education is that lessons can be accessed by students whenever they need it. Subject moved too quickly? They can simply go back and rewatch the video to learn it at their own pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your school has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/teams\/overview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">group messaging<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> app, recorded sessions can be posted into each class\u2019s messaging group for easy access.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Have students drive their own research to share in class.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flipped classroom approach goes hand-in-hand with online education, since much of the research is done online. Consider pointing students to the right resources (videos, websites, files) and allow them to be contributors to their own learning. This allows online class time to be more interactive and collaborative than instructional.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>11. Post lesson materials online.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some students might not absorb information as quickly as others, and if a presentation moves too quickly, they can get left behind. Materials posted online or in the related messaging group for download can give those students a chance to catch up at their own pace. It also removes the need for extensive note-taking during class so they can focus on the lesson instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>12. Screen share PowerPoints, documents, videos, etc., during the lesson.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as in class, lessons should come with visual substance. Screen sharing is like having a projector in your virtual classroom, and every student tuned in can see the image, video, document, or website you\u2019re sharing from your PC.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>13. Use larger fonts and sizes when screen sharing.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students\u2019 abilities to see and hear you will depend entirely upon their own computers and internet connections. When you share screens with the class, make sure fonts and sizes are larger so they can be easily read no matter what latency issues they might have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to set your presentations to Present mode for the best viewing experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>14. Make presentations more colorful than wordy.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As every educator knows, students get bored easily. Presentations should be as picturesque as possible, with the focus on students seeing images and diagrams while listening to you speak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>15. Break students into small, collaborative groups.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when students can\u2019t be present at school, working together is crucial to their relationship and collaboration skills. Consider breaking students up into groups of 3 or 4 for group projects or even study groups to review and comment on each other\u2019s work using your remote learning platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>16. Post all assignments early, and be flexible with due dates.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students learn at different paces, especially when they are going fully remote. Give students extra time to be prepared by posting assignments online early in the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since learning from home can take some time to adjust to, give them some extra leeway for submitting assignments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>17. Encourage multimedia and creative assignments.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be convenient to simply assign students quizzes and essays, but students will be much more engaged when they have a chance to be creative. Consider incorporating multimedia, such as PowerPoints, videos, links, and presentations into assignments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>18. Assess students on a regular basis.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s difficult to gauge how well students are keeping up without seeing them in person. Teachers can assess how much students understand a topic by having them answer online surveys. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/forms\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Forms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an excellent and free surveying resource.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you can spend five to 10 minutes on a separate call with each student to ensure they\u2019re still engaged. You can create a Google doc or spreadsheet with each student\u2019s name and the last time you spoke with them, and follow up with an email or direct message.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>19. Prepare for technical difficulties.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so many students packed into a single virtual classroom, chances are that a few of them will encounter technical difficulties from time to time. It\u2019s recommended that you test your equipment beforehand and provide a checklist for students and parents to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they have to disconnect from the class, make sure that all materials are posted online, and prepare to give them a rundown during office hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>20. Dedicate some time off from lessons.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the nature of online is that we\u2019re connected 24\/7, teachers have lives, too. By dedicating specific times for lessons, prep, office hours, and grading, you can make time for yourself and ensure that your students are afforded the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
