Sun, Nov 7, 14:00-14:45 Asia/Seoul

The COVID-19 pandemic has led the world into an online teaching mode that has impacted every aspect of education. This presentation will explain the importance of how reflective practice on teaching online can lead to successful learning outcomes and better teaching practices. The reflections come from the presenter’s own writings while teaching writing online during a virtual camp for middle school students, which have helped in self-awareness and increased confidence when converting to a new platform of teaching. Through observing the progress of students while collaborating in class and submitting their assignments on Google Classroom, and receiving feedback through surveys about the overall impressions of the class, the teacher could see the development of his students. Finally, the presentation will highlight the reflections of the instructor on mental health amid teaching during the pandemic and how managing the complex challenges of online teaching has helped him improve his teaching.
