Demo 1 for Online teaching – Only the teacher is online.

Teaching is a job which requires specific skill. Using technology to teach, and especially to teach online, requires more skills!

1^st attempt: 

In this video:

Fun speaking program – The “How are you? “lesson from Genki English

Only the teacher. (No students) 

Teacher shares the software with the students. 

Teacher uses “ZOOM” app (downloaded from zoom.us)

Possible issues:

-          The sound we hear for the song comes from the speaker near my computer: Is it clear enough?

-          Do the students who will watch this video understand they have to repeat? Is it engaging enough? 

-          Would potential students, like our Tourism or Agriculture students, have a fast enough internet connection to follow (and to participate if the get online)? And what obout student who can't connect to internet?

I feel there is a great potential with online teaching. It surely requires a bit of practice though!

Thank you to the Covid-19 to give us that possibility to extend our scope of teaching.
