Top 7 Tips & Tools to Deliver an Engaging Virtual Learning Experience for Your Students
Flip your virtual classroom
Flipped instruction reverses the traditional classroom by separating frontal learning from class time and bringing activities for applying the information (which may have traditionally been considered homework) into the classroom.
With flipped instruction, teachers can create a more active learning environment in their virtual classroom and spend more time interacting with their students, checking for understanding and answering questions.
Host a podcast listening party
Before class, ask your students to listen to an episode of Unpacking Israeli History, or play the episode and listen together during class time. After listening to the episode, use the discussion questions provided in our guide to facilitate a thoughtful conversation.
