14 Best practices for online education
Online learning may be a new experience for some, especially as a parent. Some of the best practices for online classes of preschool students and parents are as follows:
- The school will share the weekly plan ahead of time which parents can review.
- Parents need to prepare the child, themselves and other family members accordingly.
- Parents need to arrange suggested equipment and accessories as specified in the weekly plan, if any.
- Try to have a spacious work area, without any clutter on the table or space around it.
- Nothing is perfect, so anything could go wrong anywhere. There can be surprises in the class, and all of us have to work together to curb them. Try to understand the actuals.
- Let the student be present in the classes, physically and mentally. Don’t skip the classes unless it is very urgent. This discipline helps in intellectual and personal bonding between the student and teacher. The student is not out of sync and learns at a good pace.
- If required, parents and teachers may interact with each other, but it should be preferably out of class time.
- It is good to write a mail if any suggestions, doubts or queries.
- Ekam Kids’ team would be reaching the parents from time to time to get the feedback and suggestions.
- Let students build community. It’s okay if your child is spending some social time before class starts or doing some cool stuff, or being silly. Let it go lightly. Correct only if required.
- Do not take the interactive classes while traveling or in busy places.
- What may seem trivial and easy may not be so for the students. Let students learn at their own pace.
- Give some grace. If you feel the stress and tension, so does the child, take it easy.
- Laugh at yourself and make mistakes.
