This is Jennifer Gonzalez welcoming you to episode 149 of the Cult of Pedagogy Podcast.

In this episode, we're going to look at nine ways online teaching should be different

from teaching in person.

It's a pretty safe bet that most teachers will be doing some form of online teaching in

the coming year.

Maybe you'll do it full-time, maybe it'll be some kind of hybrid model, but one thing is

for sure, this time around you won't be dropped into it without warning.

So with this chance to take a breath and do more thoughtful, intentional planning, the

next question is what do we do differently?

What shifts do we need to make in our face-to-face teaching practices to make the most of online

learning?

To find out, I sought the help of Melanie Kitchen, a coordinator of instructional technology

and staff development, serving 19 school districts in Western New York State.

Melanie has years of experience working with teachers on developing blended learning

and has now shifted to helping teachers develop best practices for remote learning.

I asked Melanie to share some ways online teaching should be different from face-to-face

teaching.

She came up with nine, three that are specific to community building and communication, and

six that focus on instructional design.

Along with these differences, she also shared a few things that should stay exactly the

same.

Before we get started, I want to thank Power School for sponsoring this episode.
