Op-Ed: How to improve distance learning for our youngest students (via latimesopinion)
Even adults have trouble videoconferencing for long stretches. For the youngest students, it is nearly impossible.they have shorter attention spans
In a traditional classroom, young students spend significant amounts of time learning in small groups with peers rather than with the whole class, so that teachers can provide individualized feedback, more easily conduct lessons, and intentionally facilitate social interactions between students. Distance classrooms should mirror this approach., with synchronous learning opportunities — where students learn together at the same time — broken into smaller chunks throughout the day.
And as families know all too well, young students need ongoing adult engagement to guide their distance learning. To support parents, schools and districts such as San Francisco Unified are partnering with community organizations that traditionally support students to provide learning spaces and trained staff to help students to safely complete distance learning lessons.
Teachers should provide alternatives to student learning as a group by offering at-home work that can be completed on their own or away from the computer. These might include online literacy, numeracy and math, and science lessons as well as such activities as guided reading in any language or building math skills through daily activities such as cooking or telling time.
