| Publisher Description: Virtual learning should not be difficult for today's K-12 students. These digital natives have grown up with smart phones and devices in their hands since they were old enough to grip. It is not that online learning failed during school closure in the wake of the world-wide pandemic. It was the approach and timeline taken to prepare for online learning. "Kids can only learn in front of a teacher" has been a common phrase used to justify the need for face-to-face instruction. However, neuroscientists would contridict this statement with empirical brain research which suggests humans can easily be self-taught and some of our most meaningful lessons come from experiential leanring. Moreover, this phrase also reveals a lack of understanding in the ever-evolving world of teaching and learning. Is it possible that today's kids (gen alpha and gen Z) might be better suited for virtual instruction? In this text, you will learn best practices in teaching students online, so you can be a part of the schools of the future and be on the cutting edge of making a difference from a distance |
