Though learning remotely presents certain challenges, it also can create new creative opportunities.
M AKING THE MOST OF REMOTE LEARNING
A
mid concerns of
coronavirus
clusters and
efforts to stop the
spread of COVID-19,
and based on social dis-
tancing recommenda-
tions from medical pro-
fessionals, schools
across the country
began to close their
doors and adopt a
remote learning model
in March 2020.
School administrators
and educators quickly
scrambled to find a
workaround to meet
children’s educational
needs.
Remote learning has
been a part of many
school curriculums for
some time. While
remote learning had
predominantly been
reserved for higher
learning institutions, in
the wake of the
COVID-19 outbreak, it
became a necessity for
grades K through 12 as
well.
Teachers have had to
design curriculums
and assignments virtu-
ally on the fly in an
attempt to minimize
disruptions that could
adversely affect stu-
dents.
Remote learning
requires the coopera-
tion of school staff and
also parents and guard-
ians. Patience is neces-
sary, and parents and
educators may need to
completely transform
their daily schedules.
The following tips
can be an asset as stu-
dents continue to navi-
gate remote learning.
• Record class ses-
sions. Teachers can
consider recording or
“going live” with class
instruction so that stu-
dents can view the
video and still have
access to their teachers.
This helps parents who
may be unfamiliar with
explaining the curricu-
lum.
• Utilize chat features.
Remote education soft-
ware programs likely
have a chat or “hang-
out” feature, which
enables classrooms to
keep in touch and ask
questions in real time.
• Keep a schedule. It’s
easy to begin to sleep
late and fall out of rou-
tine when not required
to go to a school build-
ing. Families should
make scheduling a pri-
ority, which can help
students stay on top of
lessons and complete
their assignments on
time.
• Ask questions.
Everyone is learning as
they go, and further
clarification may be
needed. Students should
email or chat with
teachers if they don’t
understand an assign-
ment or are unsure
about instructions.
Teachers may be able
to clearly model a math
problem or explain a
concept via video chat
for students who need
help.
• Explore educational
options. Many compa-
nies are offering free
educational services
while kids are home
from school. Scholastic.
com is offering online
courses, Nat Geo for
Kids, Fun Brain, PBS
Kids, and Highlight
Kids are other places to
turn to for activities.
Remote learning has
become the new norm
as the world continues
to navigate COVID-19
in an effort to keep the
public safe.
