This week, I wanted to share with you an interesting article from Edutopia which is reflecting on distanced and remote learning.
Objectives: To provide the key ‘takeaways’ from the distance and remote learning that has taken place in the pandemic as schools being to reopen
Summary:
The overall impact of digital technology on learning is less than we might think - actually, the quality of teaching is still the most important element within successful education
More effective differentiation (including more blended learning models) and an emphasis on mastery may be some of the biggest gains from online learning to takeaway
Much of the narrative is focused on ‘learning losses’ from lockdown, but learning gains from lockdown may be more broad than we anticipate. They might not be from the official curricula, but they can be transformative nonetheless.
How does this impact me and my practice?: Some reflection questions arising from this that might be helpful to consider are:
What things from online learning can I bring with me into the classroom?
How can I continue to harness the differentiating and mastery elements of online learning?
What ‘learning gains’ might our students have made? And how will we know?
If anyone would like to discuss this further with Jaya - please comment below! I’d be delighted to open up these discussions and conversations.
