In partnership with Model Teaching, an industry leader in supporting educators, this course will assist you in a plan for transitioning traditional teaching to an online format, whether for a few lessons in a blended learning approach or within a complete shift to virtual instruction. Model Teaching's Mission is to improve student performance by directly supporting teachers with quality content and resources. The course will cover lesson and assessment adaptation, differentiation, and administrative streamlining by introducing the SAMR model for effective technology integration.
This teacher professional development course will teach you how to transition your traditional teaching methods into an online learning environment. You may feel that you only need to adapt a few lessons using a blended learning model, or you may wish to explore how to shift your entire classroom into a virtual learning environment. The course will help guide you on what components of your classroom you can shift online, from considering your lessons and assessments, evaluating how to differentiate, or planning how to make your administrative tasks more streamlined.
You will learn about the SAMR model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition), also called the SAMR framework, as a continuum of technology integration to help you decide how to authentically build more technology into your teaching practices. By the end of the course, you will have a technology plan ready for your classroom and will bring with you many planning documents, resources, and ideas that you can begin implementing.
