For years, traditional teaching methods have been in practice. But with the advancement of technology in the education sector as well, modern online teaching methods and pedagogy arereplacing the traditional method of teaching. The role of technology can also be seen in traditional teaching methods.

Both teachers and students are getting advantage of online teaching methods and pedagogy after the trend of online teaching. Teachers use a lot of teaching methods and these teaching pedagogy can be applied in online systems of teaching also. Teaching methods can vary according to the different criterias such as objectives, subject area, philosophy, and classroom demographics.

So, when everything is going online and teachers too have adopted online platforms to teach students, then they should know effective online teaching methods and pedagogy to facilitate communication and understanding.

Online Teaching Methods and Pedagogy

Following are the most effective pedagogical strategies:

Presentations

Presenting the content for study is used both in classroom teaching and in types of online education. Proper presentation affects students in a great way whether they are learning offline or online. Teachers just need to present information of the related subject and book in a form of presentation.

In making a good presentation, teachers can incorporate visuals such as images, GIFs, videos, etc. to make it watchable and this way is comparatively easy to pass on information to students. Students will be able to use the presentation for later purposes like studying and revising syllabus.

There are a few presentation tools available to make presentation:

Online Whiteboard

Teachers can use Online whiteboards for best practices in teaching online. In virtual classroom setup, an online whiteboard helps them to convey information and make a better connection between teachers and students. Online whiteboard is a canvas on which teachers can make diagrams, share pre-made templates and charts, make sketches, write,l etc.

It works just like the classroom blackboard but it can digitise what teachers teach. It allows them to re-share the content too. Teachers and students can connect on the same canvas too in real-time and use it for different purposes such as Mind mapping, Do interactive exercises, Carry out assignments, Review homework, Brainstorm around lessons, Give feedback etc.

Live Online Classes

With Online classes, teachers need not to collect students in the classroom to teach them. Instead they can deliver lectures in real time through live online classes. Live online classes allow teachers and students to interact face-to-face and give the same classroom-like environment for learning.

Teachers can use video conferencing apps and tools which are available online and create a connection with students for running regular classes. Live online classes break the barriers of reach and teachers can even connect to students who are staying abroad. Online whiteboard in live online classes works more engaging.

Teachers will need to use different methods of teaching to engage students throughout the live online class and for that, they should be prepared with what they are going to teach. To not let students feel passive during the class, teachers should ask questions during and after the class and allow students to answer. They should arrange a discussion group for allowing them to take an active part. To make it more engaging and interesting, teachers should use posters, videos, visuals, graphic organizers, images, etc

Educators should make sure to not deliver the entire topic in one go. Instead, break down the topic into smaller chunks to make it digestible.

Pre-Recorded Video Lectures

In the concept of Pre-Recorded Video Lectures which is one of the suitable online teaching methods and pedagogy, the lectures are already recorded and shared by the students instead of taking live lectures. Some students find this online teaching methods and pedagogy better than live online classes as it gives them flexibility to attend the lecture at their time.

Unlike live online classes, students can use the video for revision purposes as well and to clear their doubts. It lessens teachers' work of repeating the concept if students do not understand.

Teachers should be little aware of following points while recording lectures:

Be prepared with your script.

In case you are not confident to record, rehearse it once.

Videos should be recorded for a short period. Lengthy videos take time to upload and also makes it boring. Students often skip them.

While recording, sit in a comfortable space and avoid distraction.

Flipped Classroom

Flipped Classroom has gained popularity during the past few years. It has emerged as one of the best practices in teaching.

Flipped Classroom concept is totally opposite to the traditional classroom concept. In this concept, students need to read and review the study material before their teacher teaches them. It is actually a reserving concept of actual in-class where teachers teach and students study later.

Following are the effective techniques for the flipped classroom concept:

Online quizzes

Polls

Infographics

Mind maps or word clouds

Game-Based Teaching

Students love games and they do not feel bored while playing games. Game-based teaching helps to engage students to teach them using games. The concept does not stress students, instead increase their involvement in learning. Students who are not quite good at studying can find this way of teaching helpful to learn and memorize.

To launch game-based teaching, teachers should ensure that students have access to the same type of data. With video conferencing tools, teachers start teaching including gaming sessions. Also, the chat option should be opened where students can ask questions.

Class Blog

Class blog is an innovative concept to let students explore self-learning by creating a blog individually or in a group about what they have learnt. This blog can be shared with other students for sharing the knowledge. On the other hand, teachers can also share their learning material on blogs.

Conclusion

Due to the effect of pandemic all around the globe, online education has become a necessity for students to learn and teachers to teach. Online teaching methods and pedagogy are a saviour for the education field. Teachers need to adopt different teaching methods when they are teaching online to make students take active participation in studies and do not feel passive.

50 Tips, Tricks and Ideas for Teaching to Gifted Students

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gifted kids can be a joy to teach when you know how to identify what engages them. These 50 tips and tricks come from my own experience and from around the Web. They're good to have in your bag of tricks whether you're a newbie or an old hand at teaching these high-level thinkers.

Every year, I start by having my students complete an interest inventory. This helps me ensure that curriculum is personalized to their interests.

Share what you are reading with gifted students. Often, these students experience a reading lag where they can't find a sweet spot because it is hard for high-ability students to understand what is both challenging and appropriate.

Gifted students often need to have the ability to move when learning ... pacing, flapping and bouncing are parts of their thinking process.

4. Offer Flexible Seating

A window seat is my favorite place to read, so I keep that in mind when offering seating. Try to offer different seating options for students: beanbag chairs, carpet squares, pillows, director chairs ... the list can go on and on.

5. Model Social Situations

Social situations can be challenging for some gifted students as their ability to understand social cues can be underdeveloped. Team up with other teachers to model the proper way to start conversations.

6. Share Current Events

Current events are important to incorporate into gifted programming. We want these students to be thinking about how they can use their talents to solve real-world problems.

As important as current events are, it is also just as important to understand that gifted students internalize global happenings on a very personal level. Kids do not have the experience with the world to understand that despite there being a war or attack, there are still good things happening in the world.

SOURCE: Reddit

Not all gifted students are meant to be the project manager. Allow students the opportunity to work alone or in a group. Even cross-grade groupings work well with gifted students.

9. Mind the Child Labor Laws

Gifted students who finish early should not automatically be the teacher's helper. Gifted students can be some of the worst students to assist others because their brains often work very differently. Having a gifted child help a student who is struggling may do more harm than good.

My grandmother always said, idle hands are the devil's workshop ... so keep some key things in the back for busy hands. LEGO bricks, cardboard and masking tape, and Snap Circuits are some of my favorites!

11. Introduce Minecraft Edu

SOURCE: http://education.minecraft.net/

Provide gifted students with clear endpoints on projects and assignments. Gifted students can create unusually high expectations and never see an end in sight; a book reflection can easily become a 10-page paper, a PowerPoint can become an intensive course on the topic. Letting students know where to stop can be helpful.

Use FutureMe.org and have students write a letter to their future selves. Once students have written the letter, you can set the date for it to be sent to their inbox. What a great way for students to set goals and create natural check-in points.

14. Teach Decision-Making

Gifted students can have a huge case of FOMO: fear of missing out. They understand that decisions have consequences, and sometimes they need to be given an inordinate amount of details about their options. Allow for the gifted student to fully understand the pros and cons of a decision.

Gifted students are processing a lot in their minds. Be patient and give them the time to reflect on what they need to come to a consensus they can live with.

16. Assign Expiration Dates

My gifted students walk into class with exploding folders and binders. They keep everything because there is a fear of being unprepared. Just like expiration dates for food, think about adding a footer to your handouts: "This handout expires on April 15."

17. Model Organization Strategies

Or at least model how you organize life. Gifted students like options and seeing how they work in the "real world" is very helpful. I show students how I use notes to organize things, how Google Calendar is my lifeline, and what I do for physical notes. I have used planners in the past and show those examples as well.

We also review different apps that could be helpful. I urge students to find what works for them. No system is not an answer. We all need a system to help us be productive. When I taught younger students, we would all try different systems together as our end-of-the-day procedure.

Offer gifted students a hobby that can help calm their busy minds. Teach them how to Zentangle, breathe, meditate, make friendship bracelets, knit, color-anything that allows for them to focus carefully on details can help them quiet some of the extra noise.

19. Explore Their Passions

Some gifted students don't have a passion yet because they haven't found it. Provide exposure to as much as possible. are one way to help students think about different topics. even has created teaching enhancements. I heart TED.

20. Read Tons of Biographies

Reading, watching or listening to the lives of others can help gifted students develop a plan of action and see what others did to accomplish goals.

21. Read Lots of Everything

It is true, so many gifted students have found a book that becomes so much a part of them, they can discuss it at length. Bibliotherapy is a great way for students to experience how to deal with issues and learn tactics and strategies.

For the love of anything that is holy, this should probably be no. 1. Research states that most gifted students do not learn new information until January. Don't make a student who has already mastered a concept sit through the lesson again.

Let gifted students pursue their interests. If they want to let everything be about dinosaurs, more power to them! We need paleontologists. As mentioned in , it takes over 10,000 hours to be an expert. To get that many hours on a time card, students have to be allowed to focus.

We need to allow students to hyper-focus but also then be the "guide on the side" that helps them make connections from one area to another. Perhaps we can get our dinosaur expert to use Scratch and make a "Dino Dig" math game?

Gifted students need mentors within their interest areas. Mentors can teach students how to navigate through professions and can even be gatekeepers to additional opportunities.

26. Practice Like Professionals

27. Locate Authentic Audiences

The work students create should have a real audience and be appreciated by those who authentically would benefit from its completion. Younger students are a great first authentic audience.

28. Put Them in Escape Rooms

I love The Mind Research Institute, which challenges students in grades K-12 to design their own mathematical game.

32. Check Out Local Happenings

Do you live in the middle of nowhere? Me too! But I was surprised to learn there were still a TON of events happening on the weekends. If you are in the urban areas, you are rich in opportunities. Look to local libraries, museums or universities.

33. Send Them to Summer Camp

Some of my closest childhood friendships started at summer camp. These times allowed for encouragement and allowed kids to be nurtured in an environment where trying something new was the goal. Summer camp allowed me to be myself and try new things.

34. Solve Local Problems

"With great power comes great responsibility," says one of our favorite superheroes, and he is correct-kindness counts. We need to do good with the gifts and talents we have been given. Give gifted students the opportunity to solve local problems and see the need for change in their own community. Allow a book to inspire this mission: Summer I Changed the World in 65 Days.

What do friends all have in common? Interests!! We are attracted to those who think similarly and those who challenge our beliefs. Book clubs make for a great space for likeminded students to come together to discuss a common theme ... in this case a book, which serves as a great discussion starter.

36. Allow for Voice and Choice

How many of you hated a certain book in high school only to read it as an adult and see how wrong you were? The moment we lost choice (of what to read in this case), we also lost joy. Allowing gifted students to have choice in the classroom allows them to feel empowered and engaged. Choices do not need to be huge either, small choices are just as important.

No one wants to only be the big fish in a small pond. We want to be around people who will make us better and want to achieve more. Allow your gifted student to be challenged by participating in academic competitions such as National History Day. Your students will see what true competition is.

This is one of the best ways to develop critical thinking. Show a picture of clouds ... what do you see? This type of activity develops fluency, elabora tion, originality and abstract thinking, which are all integral parts of being a creative thinker. Try Google's It's a great tool for getting students to think rapidly-it's also a gem for indoor recess.

When the students ask a question you don't know, look it up with them. As librarian media specialist Melissa Thom says, "the smartest people are the people who know how to find answers to their own questions." Follow her on twitter at .

Flocabulary creates content-rich raps (yes, as in hip-hop) about just about ANYTHING. There are so many wonderful resources embedded within-contests, lyric labs, lyric notes, connections to primary sources, teacher plans, corresponding handouts, questioning and so much more! This will quickly become your favorite teaching resource. I promise!

41. Let Them Read Below-Level Books

Why do we expect every book gifted students read to be 1.5-2 grade levels above their reading level? I say, if a student is enjoying a book, read it! Yes, challenging books are needed to develop reading ability but don't discount a book just because it is below a student's level. Reading a book for a different purpose can increase the difficulty of a book without changing the text.

42. Connect Globally

Global Read Aloud is a program where one book is used to connect the world. Pernille Ripp founded GRA in 2010 with the simple idea to read a book aloud to her stude nts and during that time try to make as many global connections as possible. This mission has grown exponentially and has reached over two million students. Collaborating with students in other states and countries will help a gifted student think empathetically.

43. Incorporate Mythology

If you know a gifted s tudent, then you know that mythology can be a huge interest-often spurred by the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. Allow students to build a better understanding by incorporating mythology into different curricular units.

Provide a safe space for gifted students to take risks without being put down. Gifted students are often timid to answer something they are unsure about because of the social stigma attached to not answering correctly. Create a classroom culture where wrong answers become an opportunity to celebrate different thinking. Check out Nancy Anderson's book, What's Right About Wrong Answers? Learning Math From Mistakes.

QR codes add an interactive component to your classroom. Create a QR Code Museum or Gallery or even a QR scavenger hunt on one of your classroom bulletin boards.

A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. This is Basho Matsuo's famous haiku. Use haiku as a way to challenge gifted students to summarize chapters, current events, biographies or vocabulary words. Haiku are student-friendly yet force them to be concise and purposeful with their word choice.

Action is powerful for gifted students. Allowing students to find solutions to problems they see in their school, neighborhood or community will allow them to understand that they can make a difference. Internalizing that they can be the change in the world is transformational. Watch these TED Talks to show them what kids like them are doing to change the world.
