Less of Me, More of Them...in Zoom
Episode 5
Tuesday, 24 November, 2020

After updating everyone on how my district is approaching instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, we explore the notion of students' reluctance to use their cameras during Zoom sessions. We briefly explore what "presence" means in the classroom and how that can translate to a live online session. To help navigate through this, we can learn from Gary Stager's advice on teachers' role in meaningful learning, "Less Us, More Them". How can we make our live sessions "a better use of everyone's time"? I relate my experience with transforming my live sessions where it was more about ME as the teacher to those where it is all about the STUDENT.
