I love e-learning. There's no such thing as PE.
A positive moment is when the teacher wanted us to do work but then I just did other things since she can't see me. (I told her my camera is broken.)

Doing withdrawal sessions on zoom was nothing new as I have had first hand experience during the CB period. It goes without saying that alot of planning, tweaking of the lesson plan and coordination needs to be done before a session and that itself would not guarantee success for the student to meet the objectives set for the lesson. Not every lesson can be done over zoom and can be really difficult to model as well.

I really enjoyed watching my TG mates sessions and the takeaway for me was really the different styles and techniques displayed on how to execute a lesson over zoom.

I believe it is important for us to be more IT savvy in terms of communication and collaboration in this era. Despite not meeting face to face, lessons/sessions can still be engaging and be made purposefully. Detailed planning is required and we have to be mindful of how we conduct the lesson/session. Meaning making sure resources are given to the students like paper or whiteboard.

It is quite obvious there are restrictions when conducting lessons online as we are so used to the 1 to 1 face to face intervention lesson. I noticed every group experiencing so, including mine. However, having go through the rules at the start helps alot to keep an interactive zoom lesson. There are also many positive outcomes from conducting online lessons. However, I feel that online lessons for students definitely have to be one monitored by adult as there might be technical issues that the student might not be able to solve on their own.

It goes without saying that online learning comes with certain restrictions and limitations, so it is important that any teacher who has to conduct them manage their expectations when it comes to the students' responses and output of work. Flexibility should be exercised, because I personally believe that no amount of detailed planning can guarantee that any F2F lesson will go smoothly, so what more one where the student is not physically present with the teacher? From experience, I feel that sometimes educators can be too rigid with their expectations when it comes to online lessons, so it would be good to just try to enjoy the process of planning and executing the online lesson and just go with it, while course-correcting should the need arise

One of the learning point that I’ve learnt after watching TG2 creative zoom lessons would be making sure that expectations is set right at the start, similar to a physical lesson. Though it is an online class, it sets the tone of the lesson. Communication must be clear and specific while engaging the students virtually. In our role as an AED (LBS), not only do we have to continue learning to acquire knowledge, but we have to be versatile, resourceful and keep up with technology.

I truly enjoy creating online/zoom lessons as I get to play around with some interesting features that would intrigue students interest especially pictures and videos . It also becomes a different shift of experience from regular withdrawal sessions and other online lessons for both students and I. This was truly relatable to today’s lesson as my group mates and I laughed over some of the images we tried to find for our presentation 🤣

Teaching online is the same as teaching face to face. We must clarify what are their needs. You must always plan ahead and be prepared to have changes and how to use contingency to back up your plans. I love the creativity and well thought process of TG2 video lessons. There is always check in with student and use of verbal affirmative phrases that will encourage the students to continue to do their best, making the effort. As LBS, we need to continuously modify our strategies as it is not a size fit all method, we just continue to customise and innovate. One thing I learn from the video lessons, it is about time management in teaching a lesson, often I find myself not able to cover everything, then I would think back if I am just too greedy at what I want, making it hard for me to seem like grasping for straws many times. I also must pace myself in delivery, which many in TG2 has been a role model for me.

I have learned that using zoom to design an informative, interactive, engaging, and interesting lesson really takes a lot more effort than planning to teach a student face to face. It requires a lot of ICT skills and knowledge all the way from designing to presenting.  Luckily I have the chance to work with and learn from my wonderful group members!

Conducting lessons via zoom was no easy task. Numerous improvisations and bouncing off ideas among each other to make the Zoom learning possible. We have to be creative and resourceful in our lesson delivery to engage our student's attention. It was a good learning experience for me.

Conducting e-lessons was really a different experience for all of us. We had lots of fun and laughter while preparing and conducting the e-lesson. Even though the lesson was conducted for only 10 minutes, it was very engaging and interactive. A very fruitful learning experience for all of us!

# data[].attributes.body
Awesome everyone who made this  e-learning a success:)  We were able to come up with the presentation within a short period of time. The dynamic and the enthusiasm from of us can clearly be seen in the videos.

Amazing job TG2!
As ironic as it seems, we must really thank the pandemic for forcing us to jump into the cold ocean of technology. It is a bridging platform where we teachers and students can speak on the same wavelength. There is no age limit to learning and today I learn a lot of new things in Zoom and it is a rewarding experience. However, online platform requires different methods of delivering the lesson. Hence we must be flexible to change and adapt to ensure the best for our dearest students.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that more time and effort have to be put into preparing an online lesson vs a f2f lesson as we have to look into the element of enriching the online engagement with our audience. One LBS from another TG actually allowed her student to randomly pick the choice colour of the star for her token board and she could easily make the changes since it was done on Google doc. That was one of my many takeaways from today's e-learning. Thanks all for sharing their best practices at individual level. Indeed, Together Everyone can Achieve More (T.E.A.M.)!:)

One particular online teaching talent that I saw from the recordings and that most Teachers often overlooked is patience. The ability to be patient has a massive impact on how effective we deliver our online lesson. The right technology can definitely make learning online easier but the students need more than just that; they also need support n human connection. Keep up with the praises! :)

# data[].attributes.body
One best learning point for me was, all the LBS teachers did check-in with their students similar to F2F and constant use of affirmative praise for their effort. Group members effort in collaboration was visible through the quality of slides/resources too.

# data[].attributes.body
Watching the recordings made me realized that as educators, we not only have to be prepared well in class/interventions face to face with our students (offline), but we also have to be ready to do it out of class (online). Creating virtual lessons as creatively as possible on a short notice needs the knowledge of ICT and useful apps to engage our students effectively. Spending time to learn how to use the technological tools is important so that we can have successful, fun and interactive lessons with students.

I am amazed by all the effort that went into each online lesson! Kudos to all! I think all the planning behind-the-scenes for the online lesson is very similar to our withdrawal plan. The rehearsal/run-through of the lesson prior to recording, considering of limitations, making adjustments to mitigate these issues, are similar to how I would need to mentally run-through my withdrawal plan to make sure the lesson would flow smoothly, and if possible, allow a friend to look through to provide feedback for improvement.

Playing the role of the AED conducting Today’s lesson , i have learned from my group members' feedback (observers).which is always to check whether our students have the required materials (mini whiteboard and marker) in front of them before we start the zoom lesson. This is because I ‘assume’ the student already had it ready.  This is also to ensure smooth running of the lesson without any disruptions.

# data[].attributes.body
As much as we prefer to have lessons face to face, in future it is inevitable that lessons from home will be a norm and everyone would have to adapt towards the ever-increasing advancement in technology and connectivity. In any case however, priority must be given to the well being and needs of the student.

# data[].attributes.body
It is interesting to watch the recordings of TG2 members on their creative use of tools and resources to teach and engage the students.It is quite similar to face to face when we are doing one to one but it will be difficult with a big group of students as you are not able to observe and correct their off task behaviours. Nice jobs, everyone !

I think what was interesting for my group was how we realised if we got the students to air write it’s a mirror image and hence not accurate. I guess planning a lesson over zoom is tricky as in I need to consider more about the way I would teach a certain strategy differently from the way I would face-to-face.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe we must move forward with time and embrace the technology that is made available to us. There should be no reason to stop teaching and learning should there be any school closure. We as educators must always be ready to always support our students, no matter the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Zoom sessions can be interactive and can be interesting if the lesson is plan properly and the objective is met. The teacher has to be creative in trying to engage the students via the net. It is interesting that despite not seeing face to face, the learning can still take place. We have to constantly keep ourselves abreast with technology and collaborate with other AED friends to share great resources for online teaching and learning. Great work everyone.

Besides being the first time for some of us doing online lessons, all did well with their well thought out lesson plans infused with interesting resources. We need to remind ourselves that it is the student that matters.

A zoom session actually involves quite an amount of coordination and logistics between students and teachers. Teachers are creative in coming up with content that can sustain a student's attention for that particular period. It is important as a teacher to make our online lesson delivery as clear and as concise as possible. Wonderful to see all our TG2 videos!

# data[].attributes.body
Although the interventions were done through zoom, the teachers did their best and try not to shortchange the students by making the session engaging and interactive through the use of colourful PPT slides, videos, whiteboards and word bank book. Good job to all for creating awesome lessons within a short time 😀
