Teachers can use virtual classrooms to teach from home with
all the necessary tools at their disposal. This renders their
online sessions to be just as effective as traditional ones and
even more advantageous since they can offer a great deal of
content, interaction, reinforcement, and real-time feedback
Zoom
For teachers, Zoom provides a suite of useful features,
including the ability to host meetings with up to 100
participants, and to allow students to wordlessly signal to
the teacher that they have a question or brainstorm on a
virtual whiteboard. The following are specific ways teachers
can use Zoom for distance learning:
1. Record and share lessons. Video lessons can
be created and shared for students to watch
asynchronously in their own time and place.
2. Teach live lessons. For synchronous or live delivery of
lessons, teachers can set up a regular class time on Zoom
and guide students through remote learning activities.
3. Flip the Classroom. With the “flipped” classroom model,
teachers assign students new materials to learn on their
own videos, reading assignments, etc., then use class
time (synchronous learning) to help classify the new
information and put new knowledge to use.
4. Office hours. Teachers may schedule “office hours”,
which allow students to drop in and chat informally
with teachers and peers.
5. Circle time, story time, or show-and-tell days. For
preschools and elementary school, students, teachers
can use Zoom to provide continuity and community.
Little ones can’t really hang with video conferencing
for too long, but they do enjoy a chance to see their
friends listen to a story, an show off their toys, pets,
baby sisters, and the like.
during virtual sessions.
