Online learning: feedback and suggestions

 After the Prime Minister's announcement on Monday 4th January, it seems that we will be continuing online learning for some time now, at least until the February half term. As any teacher will tell you, online learning is not a patch on in-class learning. But we as teachers want to make the experience as enjoyable and useful as possible. 

Your teacher will ask you to discuss in small groups the following prompts, and you will share your feedback with your teacher. Hopefully we can use this feedback to improve the online experience and to create the very best lessons possible!

  • Types of lesson - group work, individual work
  • Use of video - YouTube resources
  • Group discussions, class discussions
  • Short group tasks (up to ten minutes) vs longer group tasks (30 minutes or more)
  • Research tasks
  • Group collaboration tasks over a series of lessons
  • Quizzes
  • Past paper questions
  • Practical work: using mobile phone camera and other available resources
  • Anything else?
