Webinar:
Distance Education Strategy Sessions

Join the EdTech Center today at 10:00 AM Pacific, 12:00 PM Central, 1:00 PM Eastern for our bi-weekly Distance Education Strategy Sessions.

We'll be featuring two lightning talks. First, teachers Kristin Klas and Laura Tamali from St Paul Adult Basic Education (MN) will share strategies for using multiple google applications integrated on a Weebly site to support distance education. Then, Jessica Wabler from the YWCA – National Capital Area will present resources she has created to make possible the online screening needed to fully understand learners’ needs and the resources required to support persistence in distance education. Following the lightning talks, we’ll break into two discussions and you can choose which topic you’d like to further explore. This webinar marks the beginning of our summer schedule – when we’ll move to sharing presentations every other week.

The Difference Between
Emergency Remote Teaching and Online Learning

This article published by EduCause frames "emergency remote teaching" (ERT) as the best way to describe the way that instruction is being provided during the pandemic, (perhaps unfairly?) contrasting it to “high-quality online education”. The authors observe that the challenges of ERT might serve as disincentive to development of quality distance education in the future. They offer a framework that is useful for future planning of online programming. Though originally written for a postsecondary audience, the article is an interesting read for all practitioners. Check it out and see if you agree with them!
