I always start my classes with some form of emotional check-in regardless of age or grade level. I do so in my college classes as well as in my elementary gifted classes. I think this is even more imperative given the stress students are experiencing due to COVID19. The 10 to 15 minutes it takes is so worth the class time. Some of the benefits of emotional check-ins discussed in the Edutopia article, A Simple but Powerful Class Opening Activity , include: Students know that every voice matters:

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Some new to conducting online webinars may feel a void in this environment. Unlike teaching face-to-face you can’t read the room the same way. It may be difficult to pick up on non-verbal cues. You can’t walk over to someone and look over their shoulder. Sometimes it just feels like you are talking to an empty room. The ideas below are designed to help fill the void, establish connections, and facilitate interactivity.

In July 2019, the governor of Virginia established a STEM Education Commission for the state, with the goal of eventually launching a statewide STEM network. Having such a network, proponents said, would provide a united vision for Virginia’s many STEM programs, which had been developed in isolation. A network could aid communication and sharing of best practices to use and pitfalls to avoid, while setting goals and common terms.

Ready or not, it’s time to go back to school. If you’re like me, you spent the summer attending webinars, seminars, and conferences. You chatted with colleagues on Twitter and Facebook about learning tools they loved. You collected a long list of highly-recommended resources that you can’t wait to try in your classroom. But that list could take hours to preview.

Eric Iversen. Tumultuous times In cybersecurity education as everywhere else, nobody is having the summer they wanted this year. Summer camps have been postponed or, at best, contorted , conferences cancelled or moved online , and planning for the fall is a mess. With diminished or even no ability to gather in person, educators are scrambling to develop and deliver learning content via virtual, remote, or otherwise constrained contact with students.

It's that time of year again for my annual list of online summer learning opportunities or programs. This is especially prevalent w/ the COVID-19 " double whammy " that is happening w/ school closures around the world, economic downturn, and high possibility of summer learning loss for students. These programs help fill a gap that sometimes is lacking over the summer months and best of all can be done at the comfort from home.
