Online Teaching Lab Activity

Lab Objective. By successfully completing this lab, students should be able to:

  • Understand common differences between online teaching and face-to-face classes

Activity Guide:

  1. Go to the UConn Lightboard lab to construct a brief (2 min.) presentation for a mini-lesson of your choice related to the lesson plan you uploaded for EPSY 5221.
  2. (stretch goal) Using the free Blackboard site Coursesites, create a sample mini lesson online course site.
  3. Provide your reflection on how teaching online is different from teaching face to face

For your target lesson plan…

Consider your target lesson plan uploaded to Taskstream during week 1. What might happen on a snow day? Could some or all of the lesson content be support with online activities? Consider enhancing the lesson with a Flipped lesson available online, and/or an alternative online activity that could be done by a missing or expelled student, or even all the students on a snow day.

Upload to Taskstream

Upload the link to your lightboard presentation to Taskstream and provide a text reflection about your experience producing it, and its value for online instruction in your future work.
