K-12 Distance Learning: A Playful Way of Learning

As we gradually adapt to a dynamic educational landscape, we start to embrace the idea of distant learning. The idea of Distance Learning gained more popularity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The global pandemic suddenly changed the traditional methods of teaching into a k-12 distance learning atmosphere.

Distance learning has a different approach and is difficult to organize. It has distinguishing features from that of a physical classroom. In a physical classroom, the teachers/ educators do not have to face problems commonly faced in distant learning such as connectivity issues, etc. The educators and teachers in a physical classroom take seating and classroom space into consideration. The physical environment plays a vital role in optimizing creativity for learning purposes. However, schools have increasingly moved towards distance learning in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Let's explore the numerous ways in which distance learning can be fun and creative with a healthy learning environment:

Creativity and Creative Teaching

Teaching in a creative way plays an essential role in the development of young learners. As educators and teachers, it is our duty to make learning fun. At eTAP, we ensure that students and teachers incorporate creativity so that neither teaching nor learning is monotonous. In order to get our students and teachers to be creative, it is vital that they are given liberty in distance learning.

Connection

A beautiful understanding and connection between the teacher and the student is essential to generate creativity and productivity. In a virtual environment, students must be given the liberty to share their ideas and opinions to maintain a connection with each other. Through this, students become inspired by one another. This process lets the students and teachers open up with each other. They receive and give feedback and share their work. Some tools like shared Google Slides, Padlet, and Jam board are the tools used during online classes that allow students to work in one place.

Visual Communication

During the span of classes, visual communications play an important role in eradicating students' hesitation. It helps reduce students' feelings of isolation and assists in developing a more collaborative community. In order to make the sessions even more communicative and interesting, we ask students to review each other's work, give feedback and reflect on what they shared.

Tools to expand assessment productivity

Online learning devices such as Chromebooks and iPad have evolved the process of student learning and growth. Instead of depending upon memorization of the content, it is crucial for students to understand the concepts nicely. This is possible only if the lesson plans are creatively designed which focuses on learning and not cramming.
