Lecture on Concurrent Hybrid Teaching

Introduction

• Presenter: Sam Carrick from the New EdTech Classroom
• Focus: Addressing the challenges of concurrent hybrid teaching (teaching in-person and virtual learners simultaneously)

Key Tips for Concurrent Hybrid Teaching

Tip 1: Move Your Class Online

• Avoid trying to replicate physical classrooms for virtual students through live streaming or multiple cameras.
• Focus on moving the entire class online to emphasize participation over observation.
• Optimize digital classroom space through a well-organized learning management system (LMS).
• Encourage uniform systems across the school for a predictable experience.

Tip 2: Utilize Asynchronous Teaching Techniques

• Remote teaching has built skills in asynchronous instruction.
• Tools: Screencastify, Loom, Screencast-O-Matic, Pear Deck, Nearpod.
• Design self-paced lesson sequences with hyperdocs and choice boards.
• Asynchronous instruction helps manage disruptions and provides flexibility.

Tip 3: Set Up Your Classroom in Stations

• Stations allow for asynchronous, independent, self-paced learning activities.
• Facilitates working with students in smaller groups.
• Concept of horizontal planning: lessons are broken into non-sequential pieces.
• Example: Start with a group activity, followed by stations with different learning activities.
• Stations can be virtual if physical movement is restricted.

Tip 4: Leverage Digital Workspace Programs

• Use digital workspaces for multimedia-enhanced teaching and real-time student feedback.
• Tools: Classkick, Formative, Seesaw, Whiteboard.fi, Whiteboard.chat.
• Classkick: Interactive, allows diverse student interactions and teacher feedback.
• Allows peer collaboration and student autonomy in requesting help.

Tip 5: Strategic Financial Investments

• Invest in instructional technology programs over equipment for hybrid teaching.
• Avoid spending personal money on equipment like cameras or mics.
• Invest in programs that enhance participation: Nearpod, Pear Deck, Classkick, etc.
• Consider online courses for teaching with technology or PD on hybrid techniques.
• Focus on long-term skills and resources, not just current teaching needs.
