Dynamite Online Teacher Dennise Heckman

Dynamite Online Teacher is a timely, practical guide to online teaching. Written for all the dedicated teachers busy adapting lessons, previously planned for in-person teaching, to online lessons. The teachers, rolling with the punches and staying afloat, in unfamiliar territory with limited guidance and often lack of support. Teachers that are passionate about their subject matter but aren't sure how to demonstrate that from a computer screen. Teachers that want to reach out and connect with their students with whom they previously shared laughs, interests, and daily mood swings. While a large portion of this book focuses on practical solutions, such as virtual platforms that can improve your online classes, it also touches upon the emotional aspects of teaching. You will learn how to incorporate humor into your teaching and accommodate all of your students regardless of their learning styles. You'll also learn how to take care of yourself: how to address perfectionism-based anxiety and cope with the fear of failure. Learn how to navigate technology in the online education world. Find strategies and ideas that are proven to engage students virtually. Conquer fears of online education and connect with your virtual students. Discover ways to adapt your in-person curriculum and transition to a virtual educational platform. Dynamite Online Teacher features real-world examples you can apply and adapt immediately in your virtual classroom so that you don't just survive online, but that, you are dynamite online. Dynamite Online Teacher is a must-have resource for anyone teaching online or thinking about teaching online!
