This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 843 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the future of education being disrupted and the onset of day-to-day uncertainties and challenges that have to be solved quickly, teachers are now turning to professional development communities/support communities where they can share and learn about effective practices to use in the classroom. While transitioning to blended or online learning and keeping up with the technological advances in education, these communities provide an essential backbone for teachers to rely on for support and updated knowledge on what educational practices are being utilized, how they are working, and what solutions have been found for the ever-changing climate of education. Research on the benefits and use of these communities, as well as on the latest educational practices, is essential in teacher development and student learning in the current culture of a rapidly changing educational environment. The Research Anthology on Facilitating New Educational Practices Through Communities of Learning contains hand-selected, previously published research that provides information on the communities of learning that teachers are currently involved in to seek the latest educational practices. The chapters cover the context of these communities, the benefits, and an overview of how this support is a necessary tool in today’s practices of teaching and learning. While highlighting topics such as learning communities, teacher development, mentoring, and virtual communities, this book is essential for inservice and preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in how communities of practice tie into professional development, teacher learning, and the online shift in teaching.

Download or read book The Professional Business Video Conferencing Etiquette Handbook Guide written by Gerard Assey and published by Gerard Assey. This book was released on 2020-09-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly pushed organizations into rethinking ways and means to continue to operate their businesses, especially with the restrictions on safe distancing. The world over is adjusting to COVID-19, with social distancing orders having compelled people to find alternatives to face-to-face meetings. As a result, video conferencing solutions have never been more popular. In order to conduct business without disruption, professionals have now turned to video conferencing to stay connected with their team members and customers. With the need to social distancing and working remotely, video conferencing has provided a more personalized approach. It serves as the closest alternative to a face-to-face meeting by providing a forum for managers and leadership to stay in touch with their team members just as if they are face-to-face, by addressing queries, concerns and other issues on the spot. The video conferencing services have seen such a huge surge in popularity and usage recently as the deadly corona virus is pushing more people into remote work environments. People are also using it for everything, not just business, from family-time-to-gathers to lunchtime hangouts with friends and so forth. So love them or hate them, meetings are a part of almost every job, whether you're working remotely or working in an office. Since meetings are here to stay, despite the restrictions on safe distancing, effective communication will all the more be the key during this trying time and outside of it to keep businesses running smoothly. Proper communication plays a critical role in keeping global employees connected, as well as staying in contact with customers who reside in different locations. This is where the subject of the right etiquette required during video-conferencing will play a key role- enabling you and your team to stand out from the rest. Just as how there are norms and etiquette required for any face-to face meeting, video- conferencing too has a set of guidelines that if followed, will ensure the meeting is productive and effective. Good video conferencing etiquette is really just common courtesy and respect for the people in your meeting while creating an environment with the least amount of disruption. And as with all virtual communication tools, we need to ensure that meetings are professional, efficient and productive. The usual principles of polite behavior required with any meeting apply for video-conferencing too, but the key is to understand how the use (or misuse) of technology can effect these meetings. The ideal video conference should get as close as possible to the dynamics of a real face-to-face meeting from the participants’ point of view, and for that the role of everyone in the meeting (not just the chairperson or host) is to ensure that the system is not filtering out critical interactions, allowing discourtesy to sneak in. There’s just no substitute for good manners in all of our daily interactions, and good manners are appreciated more than ever in workplace meetings. This is especially true during online video conferences and meetings. Whether you a Head in a Corporate, a Professor or Lecturer in a College, or Teacher in a School, or an Interviewer recruiting candidates or just someone demonstrating and selling a product or service- with so much of a shift happening today to online platforms, I am confident that this little book: ‘The Professional Business Video-Conferencing Etiquette- Handbook & Guide’ will address most of the above stated issues and challenges, enabling you and your team to project the right positive impression, and build on your organization or institutions credibility and thus be able to have that competitive advantage over others.

Download or read book Digital Pedagogies and the Transformation of Language Education written by Montebello, Matthew and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education has undergone numerous radical changes as the digital era has transformed the way we as humans communicate, inform ourselves, purchase goods, and perform other mundane chores at home and at work. Social media is one of those phenomena that has affected not only society at large but has heavily influenced educational processes around the world. The demand for and availability of networked educational services have also increased, enabling online education to gain popularity and become an internationally accessible option. Furthermore, universities and other private higher educational institutions embrace digital technology and have adopted the new learning medium as they realize the prospects of having the world’s population as a potential source of revenue. A related phenomenon has been the proliferation of massive open online courses (MOOCs). These have changed the ways in which learners interact with educational institutions, professors, and with each other. At the same time, the upsurge in digital education has raised issues with language as online learners from all over the world and from a plethora of cultures and foreign languages have found themselves challenged to take full advantage and optimally benefit from the same educational media and resources that English-speaking counterparts have tapped into. Digital Pedagogies and the Transformation of Language Education will answer questions of how to optimize language learning in such a defining new era and what the educational, sociological, and technological dimensions of radical change are. The book will explore the different challenges and the multitude of opportunities that new and transformative pedagogies have enabled. Beyond teaching/learning practices being presented, this book also focuses on how learners will adjust to the technology and the readiness of practitioners to psychologically adjust to the changing and demanding media technology has unleashed. The chapters provide international experiences and perspectives on the impact of e-educational technologies on student experience, success, learning, and comprehension in the realm of language learning specifically. This book is essential for educational technologists, online instructional designers, education policymakers and administrators, curriculum developers, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in digital language pedagogies.
