Download or read book The Virtual Teaching Experience with Google Classroom During COVID 19 written by Morlena T. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology has been the highlight of the 21st century, and its rapid advancement has undeniably changed the world we live in today. The field has been saturated by digital applications (apps) such as Facetime, WhatsApp, GroupMe, and a plethora of educational apps such as Math Series, The Elements, and History Tools. Additional apps have magnified in popularity since the world moved to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic which devastated the global economy and shut down in person education systems around the globe. Google Classroom from G-Suite for Education was immediately embraced to facilitate the educational process allowing students and teachers to continue communication and engagement during the unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic. According to (Vynck & Bergen, 2020), Google Classroom has double the active users since March 2020, with approximately 100 million users worldwide to date. Google Classroom's video conference application Meet is being used 25 times more than it was in January of 2020, with a total of 120 million users, up from 90 million in 2019 (Vynck & Bergen, 2020). The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of teachers using Google Classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 14 participants from urban and suburban schools in the state of New York, 11 females and 3 males ages 27 through 61, with diverse race and ethnic backgrounds. They taught grades K through 12, diverse student populations, and most held a master's degree. Using a phenomenological approach, the researcher interviewed each participant on the Zoom platform, engaging them with open ended questions to share their perceptions of virtual teaching. The study analysis revealed six themes which were: The Pros and Cons of Remote Teaching; Cameras and Engagement; "Sink or Swim": Professional Development to Teach Remotely; I am Not a Techie, But I am Learning; Stress and Disconnect; and Education after COVID-19. This study provides district and school leaders with invaluable information on teacher support and development, parent engagement, closing the digital divide, and the need for social emotional support to address a public health crisis for all to have a healthy mindset moving beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online instruction is rapidly expanding the way administrators and educators think about and plan instruction. In addition, due to a pandemic, online instructional practices and learning in a virtual environment are being implemented with very little training or support. Educators are learning new tools and strategies at a quick pace, and often on their own, even through resistance. It is important to explore lessons learned through the pandemic but also of importance is sharing the virtual classroom options and instruction that align to best practices when transitioning to online instruction. Sharing these will allow educators to understand and learn that virtual instruction can benefit all, even when not used out of need, and can enhance face-to-face courses in many ways. The Handbook of Research on Lessons Learned From Transitioning to Virtual Classrooms During a Pandemic is a critical reference that presents lessons instructors have learned throughout the COVID-19 pandemic including what programs and tools were found to be the most impactful and useful and how to effectively embed virtual teaching into face-to-face teaching. With difficult choices to be made and implemented, this topic and collection of writings demonstrates the learning curve in a state of survival and also lessons and resources learned that will be useful when moving back to face-to-face instruction as a tool to continue to use. Highlighted topics include the frustrations faced during the transition, lessons learned from a variety of viewpoints, resources found and used to support instruction, online learner perspectives and thoughts, online course content, and best practices in transitioning to online instruction. This book is ideal for teachers, principals, school leaders, instructional designers, curriculum developers, higher education professors, pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in developing more effective virtual and in-classroom teaching methods.

Download or read book The Virtual Classroom from Origin to Post pandemic an Updated Framework for Updated Needs written by Wesley Skym and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The COVID-19 pandemic and school closures highlighted the strengths and needs of the field of education regarding the virtual classroom. While universities and other educational institutions have been offering classes in an online format since the 1980s or 1990s (Hiltz, 1988 & 1995), most K-12 institutions have not had as much exposure to the structure despite integrating multiple new technologies into their schools for both teachers and students. Through the push to eLearning during the pandemic quarantine, many schools’ transitions showed successes and areas for improvement for the virtual classroom. In order to analyze the future of the virtual classroom in K-12 and higher education, and to provide steps for further improvements and considerations, a complete perspective is needed. This project examines key concepts such as past models or examples of digital iterations of the classroom, student and teacher experiences during coronavirus-era eLearning, and other theories or topics that could lead to a more solidified set of best practices for the future of the medium. Takeaways from this project include generally positive reviews of a digital classroom format, concerns surrounding eLearning regarding accessibility and the digital divide, the ability for the virtual classroom to facilitate or improve the social climate normally seen within a classroom community, best practices regarding online learning going forward, and the need for an up-to-date framework to assess virtual classrooms with emphasis on pandemic-era reflections. This culminates in the creation of the Hyperpersonal and Interactive-Facilitation of Immersive Virtual Environments in Schools (HI-FIVES) framework for the assessment of educational technology and virtual classroom approaches based on theories of computer-mediated communication, learning theories, pandemic reflections by staff and students, and various current eLearning adaptations."--
