I had a great time working with Paula this week! We did a lot of learning and technological problem-solving together.
You can watch her video below (or is it above?) where she showed me how to use WizIQ to teach online. I had never seen the host side of WizIQ before, and I see why she likes the platform so much.
In this very brief video, I talk her through how to share her screen with Zoom.

We didn't give each other feedback about language during the sessions since we didn't have any trouble understanding each other. We welcome our classmates' feedback!

Yuko Kato was kind enough to host me as an "expert" speaker about storytelling.

Yuko Kato was kind enough to host me as an "expert" speaker about storytelling. Due to our time zones and our teaching situations, we decided to recruit "students" for the completion of this assignment.
I know there are a lot of videos to watch from a lot of people, but if anyone has time, your feedback is much appreciated!

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!
I have questions. If you're experienced with online teaching (or have been giving it a lot of thought),

Are there things you've found that you can do in the physical classroom that you can't do online?

Or things you can do online that you can't do (as well) in the physical classroom?

How do your teaching methods change for online classrooms?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone! My name is Anne. I teach very young learners (ages 2+) at an eikaiwa (private conversation school) in Japan. Mainly, this means I get to read stories, sing songs, and be a human jungle gym for a living. It's exactly as much fun as it sounds.
I don't currently teach online at all. A few years ago I had a regular online student who I taught through Skype. I taught her for about four years. It was ok, but I always got the feeling I wasn't fully exploiting the potential of online teaching. I also have experience of online learning as a student in my distance MA course.
The rest of my online teaching knowledge comes secondhand from friends who create curriculum and teach for companies and friends who run their own Moodle LMS.
I'm looking forward to learning more about how to teach online even though it's not part of my current context. You never know what the future will hold. I'm especially interested in learning about ways to make online learning accessible to people in areas with slow internet or limited access. I'm also interested in online learning as it applies to young learners - since in the face-to-face classroom they need a faster pace and plenty of time to move and exercise their motor skills. How does that work online?
I am excited to learn from this community - iTDi course members always come with a wealth of information. See you on Sunday!
