Friday Matinee: The Hybrid Teacher Survival Guide

Emma Pass is a language arts teacher who was teaching in a hybrid classroom even before COVID hit and many schools went virtual or hybrid.  She is in the process of writing a book entitled, "The Hybrid Teacher", but has shared a lot of the information that is in the book as she realized that teachers needed it now.  I'm sharing this with you so that you have the opportunity to both use anything that would work in your classes and so that you can share this with your students if you are training teachers.  I've attended several webinars with Emma and she is amazing!

Over the last several months I've sent out several apps and ideas for remote learning.  This PDF really pulls all of that and more together in one document.

Friday Matinee: How to be an Effective Blended Teacher

Good afternoon!  It's almost the weekend and time for the Friday Matinee.  This week I'm sharing a video with you that is focused on K-12, but there's a lot of great ideas for teaching effectively in a hybrid learning environment.  I suggest that you watch at least the first half of the video.

How to be an Effective Blended Teacher

Emma Pass, the presenter on this webinar, is currently writing a book called The Hybrid Teacher and she's shared a lot of information in a PDF with excerpts from the book. 

She mentions several of the Google tools that she uses with her students, but she also uses Padlet, Flipgrid (which was actually developed for higher ed), and Parlay.  Each of these are great tools for teaching remotelly.  I've never used Parlay and found this blog post as a great place to get started with it.

❗ FREE Educational Technology Conference - Future of Education Technology Conference

This is one of the premier edtech conferences to attend and this year it is virtual and FREE.  I highly suggest that you register and try to attend just one session a day.  I think you'll find that your mind will be blown! 🤯

 Another resource I thought I would share is from Jake Miller and is a collection of technology tutorial links for teachers with another collection for students and parents.
