Top websites for teaching from anywhere in 20-21 : Educational Technology

It’s anything but “this time of year” than the typical “How will my class be?” Questions that teachers often ask themselves are overshadowed by much more threatening and fearful questions like “Where and how will I be teaching this year?” The situation seems to be changing from day to day, and schools and districts are trying to best prepare teachers for several scenarios.

But what if your school or district’s teaching options don’t suit your specific needs? My advice: Pick a go-to tool or two that are easy for you and your students to use both in the classroom and remotely, as quickly as possible, to get used to it quickly, and then that Apply consistently throughout the year, regardless of where and where you teach. Learning takes place at the end.

Here are my “go-to” pages to ensure you and your students are successful from anywhere by 2020-21:

Your students will love writing on BoomWriter, and there are many features (peer-to-peer review, teacher-student chat, vocabulary training, etc.) that you can use in conjunction with the ability to provide personalized feedback from anywhere give, with certainty, consistently involve students and improve their writing throughout the year.
