Learning in Times of Lockdown: Your Journey to Online Learning

Dear Educator,

Life in a lockdown is not easy for anyone. Ensuring learning continues under lockdown is even more difficult, especially if you are an educator being bombarded with too much information on online learning.

The sudden shift to remote teaching has left many of us ill-prepared to ensure that teaching and learning continues seamlessly, while both students and teachers are confined to their homes.

As a school leader, you may be grappling with questions such as: How do I equip my teachers? Which tools should I use to connect with students at the lowest cost and best experience?

As a teacher, your questions might include: What kind of setup do I need at home to connect with 30 students simultaneously? Should I use the same lesson plans? How do I ensure discipline without my usual classroom presence?

To support partner educators who are relatively new to online learning, we have put together a simple “How to Get Started with Online Learning” document as a PDF attachment.

This easy-to-follow guide provides school leaders with a high-level overview of available online learning options and helps them choose the right approach based on their needs. It also includes a practical how-to guide for teachers covering dos and don’ts of online teaching.

We would be glad to address any queries you may have as you continue your journey into online learning.

Stay Safe.

Stay Strong.
