E-learning for teachers in the world today is crucial. So in these challenging times we anticipate that schools will look different in the fall. Therefore, my goal is to support your learning with tips and templates, websites and articles that will encourage your growth.

Your Mindset is VERY Important

FIRST: THESE THREE STEPS BELOW

So with the positive mindset, let’s get started! The first resource is a google site that I created. It is a nine week course for Ninth graders on writing skills. However, it was meant to be delivered synchronously and asynchronously. I am hoping this will help give you an idea of what the structure of an e-learning class might look like. Also, it consists of modules to be completed by the students and assessed by the teacher

The second resource I created on Weebly. This second resource contains a information for teachers who want to learning more about creating a collaborative digital classroom. This site contains many online resources for you to explore as well.

Let’s look at what else is out there for teachers!

E-LEARNING FOR TEACHERS-MORE RESOURCES

As stated above the resources are many! E-learning for teachers would not be complete without resources to support your learning. Here are some links I have discovered by Topic.

First let us take a look at what’s available for Research and Collaborative Writing.

Bookmarking: Diigo
The structure and power of Diigo is one that students easily adapt to as they begin to sift through the enormous amount of information available.

Collaborative Writing
Blogs, Wikis: Google.docs, Word Press
Having sessions using something like Word Press presents many ways to collaboratively write.
