How to Boost Engagement During Remote Learning (Without Using Zoom)

I reached out to a handful of people on Twitter who had done distance learning for at least a couple of weeks already. Student engagement is one of the biggest challenges in distance learning. While I originally just asked for their best tip, I love that thoughts and guidance on how to increase student engagement was a part of each of their answers.

In the episode, my guests are:

Andrew Chiu | Hong Kong
Middle-School Digital Design Teacher
*just finished his 10th week of distance learning*

CJ Reynolds | New Jersey
High-School Literature & History of Hip Hop Teacher

Mark Rogers | Texas
1st Grade Teacher

Sam Kary | California
6th Grade Humanities Teacher

They share the following:

the simplify, simplify, simplify approach Andrew takes
practical tips in communication, organization, and video conferencing from 10-weeks of trial and error
how CJ hooks his students right at the beginning of the lesson
how Mark keeps his 1st graders connected to one another without video conferencing
how Sam structures engaging at-home projects that are differentiated and support students each step of the way

RESOURCES MENTIONED

Some of CJ's green screen lesson hook videos
Hyperdocs resources that Sam referenced
