Before covid, a lot of students didn't have access to computer or Ipad's because the schools were providing everything. This article is about the new educational methods that are being used during the covid years and after. Covid took a major turn on the world when they shut down all schools because of the many people who were passing away from it. It also made a lot of stress on the educators because they had to make everything online for the students.

Schools across the globe have already closed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic - including those in the UK from Friday March 20th - and many more are expected to shutter over the next few weeks.

As a result, teachers are suddenly faced with the challenge of how to continue their students' education. While this might seem a daunting task, there are several ways teachers can utilise the technology and resources already available to support online learning and ensure students still receive a quality education.

It's important to note that there is no one size fits all when it comes to learning. Different groups have different priorities and the resources that should be used are context-dependent. There are also special considerations to think about for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and for students who might not have access to high-speed broadband.

However, teachers should take some comfort in the fact that there are hundreds of online resources to guide them as to how to teach online. We have rounded up some of the best here to help ease the transition from the classroom to the web.

Taking a step back

The main piece of advice to educators is to take a step back and focus on what matters most. This means that prioritising the creation of an open and clear channel of communication with both students and parents is an essential first step.

As an initial resource, Mark Anderson, ICT Evangelist, has created this useful infographic to help teachers think about the first steps that need to be put in place during a potential school closure, to guide key decision making during the process:

Delivery and technology

If your school needs to close down, there are several ways to move content and lessons online.

Independent Thinking suggests that schools should consider remote learning via technology for students in Key Stage 2 and above. For those learners in Early Years and Key Stage 1, it is more appropriate to have a system in place to share learning activities and resources with parents.

Engagement

One of the biggest concerns for teachers is how they will continue to engage students and keep an eye on their progress from afar.

Safeguarding

With this increased focus on digital learning, more young people will be accessing content online. Therefore, the biggest priority for both teachers and parents is keeping students safe. One forward-thinking deputy headteacher from Dubai created an infographic with some great safeguarding questions schools should ask as they move to distance learning.

National Online Safety also offers a free comprehensive guide on online safety tips for children which is well worth the read for both parents and teachers. The guide encourages teachers to be clear with learners and parents about how to interact online and recommends that teachers create consent forms that are shared with parents, particularly in the case of younger children.

Offline options

Something else for teachers to consider is that not all students have access to devices or even an internet connection. With this in mind, we would encourage schools to offer support, where feasible, with loans and access to technology.

Useful resources for parents

Parents will be equally as concerned as teachers about school closures, and those with younger children will have a greater responsibility to help with keeping their studies up.

There are several benefits to online learning and with the right knowledge, teachers and parents can embrace these possibilities.
If you want to join a community of teachers who are all finding their way forward and providing continuity for their students you can join FutureLearn's newly-launched How To Teach Online: Providing Continuity for Students course, designed to connect teachers to one another to share, reuse and remix student-centred lesson plans through these challenging times.

This website is about everything a teacher need to satisfy their students. There are many different class resources, different classroom websites, educational links, videos, and writing websites. Not only is this website good for the teachers but also the students if they need help with anything without the teacher help. Its not as boring though because it also has games for them to play that connects to their lessons.

Digital storytelling uses multimedia tools to bring narratives to life. Digital stories are used to explain a concept or to reflect on personal experiences that relates to historical or personal events. For digital stories, they are basically videos that comes with audio, images and or clips of the topic. This is a great way for teachers to help students help them with their knowledge with anything class related. When making a digital storytelling, you must use these 7 elements that I will be explaining.

The 7 elements of digital storytelling are point of view, dramatic question, emotional content, voice, soundtrack, pacing and economy. Without having these elements in your digital storytelling, do you think your story have your audience in suspense? It doesn't have to be a sad storytelling but it must have some kind of happy moments were it makes your targeted audience smiling. When making a digital storytelling you must consider your audience and if they would relate to what your putting in your content.
