Working from home: Online Teaching
When I gave a workshop on Google Classroom at the beginning of the school year (2019-2020), little did I realize that the teaching staff would have to take its use seriously during a pandemic (coronovirus covid 19). After the training, most of the teachers began using it and adopted it along with their blogs. They realized the Google app had its merits. They became adept and began exploring what other uses it could afford.
Now that the staff has been forced to look for ways to teach online, the application has become an essential tool. Other apps have been useful along with Google Classroom, such as, Whatsapp, Google Meet, Zoom, and video chats. They help teachers reach out to students while in isolation.
As an administrator I’ve been invited to co-teach most of the classes. It’s been an unusual but rewarding experience. I’ve had the opportunity to look closely at the work the students submit and help them with this particular app and other apps available to them. As principal and IT coordinator, it’s my job to help keep things running as smoothly as possible during this time of crisis. How has your school been able to cope with online teaching? ~~LMMolina
