teaching and learning in a digital space
some responsibilities on digital platforms I will like to pay attention to:
- how I deliver activities ( e.g setting reminders, using platform features)
- teaching students appropriate digital classroom behaviour.
- maintaining a safe and inclusive atmosphere for learning.
Benefits of working on a digital platform
- Work can be easily archived and referred to.
- Learning can happen at different times & locations.
- Community building though it may be difficult in the initial stages becomes achievable.
- We are able to share in this “lack” of a physical presence, together.
Challenges on the digital platform
- It can be very difficult to concentrate for long periods online.
- Students are easily distracted
- There can be a reluctancy to share ideas/work online. Concerns of ownership.
