My years of experience as a teacher have shaped a teaching philosophy that guides how I help my students succeed in the virtual classroom and beyond.

Each and every step is a challenge and But I want this to have a good exposure and connect with people on other side of our planet

# data[].attributes.body
For me my biggest challenge is this one. Currently, around the world, there is massive use of internet and streaming services, making it tough to stay connected. There is an increased use of video streaming software, online learning systems, and digital tools. This overloading has led to internet problems, poor quality video and audio, downtime, and connection losses between teachers and students.

I had my first experience of online teaching during pandemic period.  I had only limited experience with zoom and another app where i used to assign students their tasks. But after going through VTA 1,2,3: I feel that I have a lot of edtech tools ahead which I am excited to use for teaching

Being in the academe for so long, I believe that my enthusiasm, positive attitude, and hands-on experience working with the students make me an excellent virtual educator.

don't duplicate efforts. Work with teachers who have your same classes to reduce planning time

Going to the gym and reading regularly. Having hobbies and goals in other areas of life. Intentionally participating in social settings (church, reading groups, etc.) Making time for family and friends.

In-person teaching: Never took any work home. All grading, lesson planning or related thing were done during my conference periods. Im worried about having to complete all this past my normal work hours due to not having a planning period.

I make sure to balance what project I'm working on: work, family/house, Scouts/SCA, and me by rotating through them when I don't have formal hit times.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in my experience teaching virtually, it was essential to set boundaries for myself. This looked like not checking my email after a certain time, or making sure I went for a walk between classes. Working from home is so beneficial in so many ways, but I also think it can make us feel constantly tied to a device.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking 20 minutes to sit in silence or do some stretching/breathing exercises goes a long way towards keeping me fresh

# data[].attributes.body
Leaving work within 30 minutes after the students leave. Not doing work after school hours.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is challenging anywhere, but especially when students have to be more responsible for their own learning and engagement. I could see a solution relying on building relationships and community within your online classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Online challenges would be passive students, encouraging collaboration between students, and reaching/connecting with individual students.

# data[].attributes.body
I am nervous about keeping students engaged...during the pandemic, I had very little participation and it was awful.

Something as simple as letting students choose their own groups on Friday's activity can go a long way towards boosting collective engagement.

I try to provide fun activities for students who are caught up. Students with missing assignments are given a period to catch up while students who are up to date can do independent investigation and choice boards to dig deeper into concepts that really interest them.

Managing behaviors, keeping student engaged (especially important for science), and managing various teaching platforms.

One challenge is being able to understand where your students are during a lesson. I always "knew" when a student was struggling by watching their faces and being able to stop in right away.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one challenge for online teaching is just not being physically in the classroom with the students. Making those 'connections' with students.
