Teaching Online

The current coronavirus pandemic has abruptly changed multiple aspects of our daily routine.

Social distancing, staying inside our homes, and various rules and regulations have disrupted our lives enormously.

We were suddenly expected to adapt as quickly as possible to this new world, without having time to grasp this new reality, let alone prepare for it.

The education system has surely gone through one of the biggest changes--from the well-known and familiar classroom surroundings, teachers and students have had to transfer to the online world.

For the majority of teachers, this process turned out to be incredibly challenging. Online teaching is very different from traditional classroom teaching, and facing the vast world of online tools and teaching platforms can be shockingly intimidating.

How do you prepare your material for an online course?

How do you deliver the class to your students so they're engaged and interested?

What is everyone on about when they talk about hybrid learning, and flipped classrooms?

These are just some of the questions that have been plaguing teachers all over the world.

Many of them couldn't wait for the crisis to be over, and to go back to their regular routine--but now it looks like online teaching is here to stay.

Experts agree that online learning has many benefits, and some countries are even considering fully transferring to this type of teaching. The rest of the world is also preparing to incorporate online teaching into their education system to some extent.

In both cases, teachers will need to step out of their comfort zone and dive straight into the alien world of online teaching.

If you're a teacher, or someone aspiring to become one, this prospect might scare you, especially if you're not tech-savvy or haven't had experience with online teaching tools.
