For her online classes, Kentucky educator Jettie Payne adapted the workshop model: Her students used technology in working alone and with peers, then they shared their ideas and solutions with the class at-large.
“Kids are social learners, and so it’s important to keep this up,” Payne said in a story by K-12 Dive writer Lauren Barack. “I notice with the whole group, kids are less likely to speak up. When it’s even just me and three other people, I am more apt to share my thinking and ask questions.”
Other educators offer their curricular models for creating community within remote classrooms. Read Barack’s full story here.
