What are the best ways to develop resilience when teaching virtually?

In my online classes, achieving success means seeing students actively engage in discussions and completing assignments with a genuine understanding of the material. For instance, if a complex topic proves challenging, I might introduce real-world examples or interactive exercises to enhance comprehension. If progress lags, I'll host extra Q&A sessions or share supplementary materials to address specific concerns and ensure everyone's on track.

In my online classes I do start by taking my learners through lesson expectations. If during the lesson this is not being observed I can do whole class reset or individual remind to ensure it is observed. It works magic.

I believe resilience in online teaching can be achieved by making SMART goals, including activities and if things don't work as expected execute plan B

When talking about remote teaching in Brazil, there are several aspects - but I can highlight here - as well as any other area - negative and positive points - positive points - working on the teacher's case, in his home - the student in turn, also at home - an ultra-realistic context can be created for both - as they are both involved in this - and, the negative highlight is that it depends on the internet for this to happen - that is, families with little financial resources, do not would have that possibility

I am in my fifth year of online teaching and building a network is the difference maker. With a network of peers who are ready to discuss ideas, give guidance, or simply spend time chatting on your lunch break, teaching virtually can be socially engaging and rewarding. Without this network, it can be brutally lonely. In the virtual world, you're on an island by default. Don't let it stay that way! Build bridges and you will be much happier and more productive for it.

In my virtual teaching journey, I've connected with colleagues to exchange strategies. For instance, when a complex lesson posed a challenge, I sought advice and incorporated relatable examples. Sharing these experiences in online forums not only helped me grow but also created a supportive community. Connecting with students and their families through regular updates and feedback sessions added a personal touch to the virtual classroom, making the learning experience more meaningful for everyone involved.

I have joined different groups online some of which are way ahead of me so that I can learn from the best.Connections help build individual potential.

I think virtual teaching should b considered as a new normal, through this method teachers are more connected with parents and they can be more central to their children's education because they have access what teachers are doing.

In the virtual teaching hustle, I prioritize self-care. Balancing roles, I incorporate a 15-minute morning meditation to center myself. When a tough day hits, a post-work jog serves as stress relief. Setting clear work-life boundaries is crucial. Recently, I scheduled dedicated "me time" on weekends—whether reading a book or simply unwinding. It's my lifeline against burnout, ensuring I'm mentally and emotionally equipped for the challenges of virtual teaching.

Virtual teaching's unpredictability led me to innovate. When tech hiccups disrupted a lesson, I embraced it as a chance to explore creative solutions. I experimented with interactive platforms, turning a challenge into an engaging opportunity. Welcoming feedback from students and peers, I refined my approach. Change became my ally, enriching my teaching style and fostering adaptability in this dynamic virtual landscape.

Teacher must always be open to changes! Adaptability is the key while teaching virtually. 'Teacher as a learner' during virtual classes must be open to successful use of tools and not so successful attempts while trying technology. This is how the teacher will transform into an innovator! Teacher must enjoy teaching whichever the mode be, virtual or in-person!!! :)

Cultivating gratitude in a virtual teaching environment involves incorporating intentional practices. Encourage students to express appreciation for each other's contributions, celebrate small victories, and incorporate gratitude-focused activities into the virtual classroom. Utilize online platforms for sharing positive experiences and achievements. Modeling gratitude in your own communication and acknowledging the efforts of students can also foster a positive and appreciative virtual learning community.

Make a note of every win. Just like keeping sweet notes from kids, it’s time to keep sweet notes from yourself. That lesson went well in 1st period? Win. Kids showed their faces on camera? Win. You received a ‘thank you’? Win. Didn’t cry today? Win. Each day that you’re doing better than 50% winning should also count as a win. It’s so hard. But you can do it.

It was rather challenging to teach art virtually. So what I had the students do was find anything they could collect to make a snowman then they would hold it up to show what they had done.

Desenvolvendo competências tecnológicas, que v?o muito além do uso de novas tecnologias, mas consideram também: - a empatia pelo aluno que precisa de uma maior aten??o (visto que passou a ser o centro do processo de ensino aprendizagem) - a busca por ferramentas e metodologias mais adequadas a cada turma - a consciência de que haver?o desafios, mas que é possível supera-lós - a busca constante por conhecimento e atualiza??o

I was an excellent art teacher, and professional graphic designer. I have moved on from teaching art and plan to open my own art studio someday.
