Podcast 394, Ciara Reilly with a Guide to Teaching Online (23-3-20)

Presented and produced by Seán Delaney.

On this week's podcast I speak to my colleague in Marino Institute of Education, Ciara Reilly, about ideas for teaching online and offline while schools are closed. The initial impetus for our discussion was a padlet wall that Ciara developed to support teachers and which is available here. But our conversation covered many additional topics including the following:

• Where to start in online teaching and learning at primary school in particular.
• Digital Learning Framework.
• The value of having children work as a group rather than individually
• Use a timetable with children
• Singapore experience
• Acceptable Use Policies
• What teachers expect from students
• Planning for the future and online learning
• Risk of children spending too much time on screen
• The value of children being bored
• Use of iPads and use of textbooks
• Exam preparation for post-primary students
• Things you can do offline
• Hashtag for teachers to use on Twitter: #edshareie
