5 Minutes on K-12 Online Learning with Randy Labonte (Season 2)

This video is the thirtieth and final episode of the second season of “5 Minutes on K-12 Online Learning with…”  This episode features Randy LaBonte, Chief Executive Office for the Canadian eLearning Network (CANeLearn).

Randy, wanted to pass along some additional considerations:

• Emergency remote teaching is not equal to online learning — online teachers and courses take considerable time to master
• Remote teaching is typically 1 to many — didactic broadcast, not active engagement
• Social and emotional connections are critical for children to learn, and difficult to learn and master online

He also wanted to share some advice:

• Start small, build success and experience
• Use the tool YOU know student’s can access
• Content does not trump Creativity
• Learn from now, plan for tomorrow
• Most of all – support your learners
