What is Remote Learning?

Technology is changing the way that teachers interact with students in their classrooms and transforming how K-12 teams collaborate and communicate on a day-to-day basis. But when unexpected events make it impossible to conduct class within school walls, how can K-12 educators leverage technology and instructional strategies to facilitate remote learning?

Before diving deeper into the technology, frameworks, and strategies that make remote learning effective, it's important to understand what remote learning actually means and how it impacts the K-12 industry.

5. But before diving deeper into technology, frameworks, and strategies that make remote learning effective… We need to first define what Remote Learning means for K-12 education.

6. Re mote Learning occurs when teachers and students are separated by distance and/or time, making it impossible to meet in a traditional classroom setting .

7. When we defined e-Learning , we explained that it’s all about one thing: Utilizing learning technologies to maximize lesson plans and curriculum outside of the physical classroom for both teachers and students.

8. Remote Learning is no different from e-Learning, but when put into practice, those technologies should not overshadow the teacher’s role and larger instructional goals.

10. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› "Teachers need to remember that they are the most important resource in the classroom, and no computer or piece of technology could ever replace the value of a living and breathing talented educator. This doesn't change if you are in a virtual classroom without walls." - Dr. Sean Coffron Instructional Technology Training Specialist at Manassas City Public Schools

11. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› “Technology integration should be at least one of three things. Either you use it for engagement , efficiency , or enhancement of the overall curriculum.” - Tyler Abernathy, Technology Coach Richland School District Two

12. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› So how can teachers facilitate Remote Learning effectively?

13. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› K-12 educators should aim to combine synchronous and asynchronous learning techniques.

14. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› This means that classes should be facilitated both in r eal-time via online communication technologies and learning resources should also be available for students to access outside of virtual class time.

15. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› Here’s what we mean...

16. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› At Dyknow, we are committed to helping K-12 educators create and grow a community for collaboration to be successful with Remote Learning.

17. © 2019 Dyknow – Proprietary and Confidential | ‹#› This is why we created the Technology Coaching Conference A virtual conference series made up of larger conferences and smaller summits, for Tech Coaches and educators to learn from and collaborate with a diverse community of peers.
