Article Notice – Synchronous Teaching Techniques From The Perspective And Observation Of Virtual High School Teachers: An Investigative Study

I don’t know how, but this came across my electronic desk near the end of last week.  I’m not sure if I have posted this before, but I figured twice wouldn’t be a problem if I had.

Abstract

This article describes how there are specific tools and techniques used by teachers in synchronous live-virtual classroom environments. Those items were investigated in this article. Data was collected from semi-structured, one-on-one interviews conducted with a purposeful sample of twelve identified “highly-qualified” teachers at a cyber charter school in Pennsylvania that administered mandatory online synchronous class sessions. Additional data was collected through observations of each participant in their recorded archived “synchronous live” class sessions. The results of the study detailed the use of tools and techniques in regard to engagement, assessment and classroom management.

He provides a video-rich guided tour of robotics. You will see a selection of programmable robots that will get you thinking. (Isn’t that what it’s all about?) “Perhaps…, you are like me and grew up enjoying R2-D2 and Short Circuit and you relish the opportunity to drive student engagement through computer science in the classroom in a way that is physical and tangible for students.” Makerspaces and Academic Incubators: Giving Innovation on Campus a Home Daniel Fusch writes, “This generation of students has an entrepreneurial and creative spirit. We just need to create the spaces—innovation centers, makerspaces, academic incubators—that foster their learning and growth as young entrepreneurs.” Makerspaces are finding homes in K-12 libraries and media centers. But where does ‘maker’ culture fit in higher education? This article delves into to the entrepreneurial space young ‘makers’ crave. Mindstorms: what did Papert argue and what does it mean for learning and education? by Andy J. Ko Ground your understanding of makerspaces, computational thinking, coding, robotics and constructionist learning with this synopsis of Seymour Papert’s brilliant and challenging book Mindstorms. Professor Ko provides context and insight that will help you see the timeline of ideas that started it all. Andy J. Ko says, “(Papert) imagined a world in which children learned just as much about algorithmic thinking as they did about numerical thinking, evening coining the widely used phrase “computational thinking,” in the hopes that thinking like a computer, combined with more powerful representations for making that thinking explicit, would be a path to better learning of all subjects.” Maker Education Jackie Gerstein, Ed.D. provides a curated selection of maker resources that can keep you clicking and reading for days.  Great videos, infographics, and annotations abound. Here you’ll find games, toys, robots, squishy circuits, artbots, wearables, maker starter guides and more. Begin Your Master’s in Education Degree Apply Today!
