This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing how you've been able to make hybrid teaching work for you, Elizabeth!

Thank you so much, Ann! ☺

Glad to hear that, Thomas!

Thanks so much for sharing, Lucianna!

Will do, thanks so much, Arleen!

Thanks, Nic!

Best of luck!

So true, Saly! Thank you so much!

Appreciate that, Jim!

Thanks, Kimberly!

@vijendra Shrivastava hi, I teach languages, so we use digital books either for English or Spanish.

You should be able to accomplish quite a bit with just Google Edu tools! It's not the exact tool so much as how we strategically use those tools!

Thanks for your feedback, David! I'm glad you found my advice helpful!

Awesome, so glad to hear that!

Hi Meagan, sure, there are many different ways of approaching hybrid teaching, though in general I do think that technology-integrated teaching is the inevitable way of the future, so at some point we're going to need to figure out the logistics of having students manage devices in school. But I also understand that trying to take on too many things at once is daunting, and usually doesn't lead to successful outcomes. One step at a time.

Thanks so much, Karen!

You’re welcome! And thanks for the suggestion: more hybrid videos to come!

Hi Nira, if you have the paid version, you can create "student takeaways" that you can share back with students. But with the free version, they won't be able to access their work again in the future. Hope that helps, and sorry for the late reply!

You’re welcome!

Thank you very much!

YOU are the best Vandana!

Hi Chris, Apologies for the long delay in responding here. Changing mindsets, as you know, is hard work, and won't happen over night. I think the most important thing to do is always tie technology back to an instructional goal. Everyone isn't on board about instructional technology, but pretty much everyone IS on board for active learning, differentiation, student engagement, formative assessment, etc. (not meaning everyone does these things, but they are widely agreed upon as effective teaching practices). I find that when you can show how tech tools help teachers achieve those instructional goals, you have more success in terms of winning reluctant adopters over. Best of luck!

Thanks Sam. As we enter our third wave here in South Africa, it seems that there is more acceptance after I did personal interactions with different department. There is still computer competency issues which undermines the system as a whole which as an institution our School needs to address. Wishing you all the best. Keep up the great work.

@@chrismorrison7592 Yeah, that makes sense. If teachers and students don't have foundational technology skills then tech actually becomes a barrier to learning, which is one of the reasons there's sometimes resistance to using it. Best of luck and thanks for supporting the channel!

Right!

That's true in the sense that I'm making the argument that if you have a hybrid concurrent classroom, one approach is to move the class online rather than trying to bring the physical classroom to your online students.

Yes?

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, I agree with you and wasn’t intentionally using the word “learning” as opposed to teaching. I Appreciate your attention to precision in language though: you’re right!

@@NewEdTechClassroom Thank you for the great clips. Please can you send me quality literature in PDF or links where I can download a specific book, which you recommend. my mail is: madunicm65@gmail.com, and I would love to have your contact to share teaching materials, if possible. Sincerely Marijan Madunić

this is interesting comment from you Marjan. i think the problem lies in our languages, i am from slovakia so my language is similar to your croatian. we use the same word both for learning and teaching. in my experience, this causes teachers at least in my country to forget, that their my goal should be to facilitate learning proces of the students instead they focus on teaching process. our colleagues in english speaking countries can make the distinction easier. so the question remains, is this about hybrid learning process from the students perspective or teaching process from the teachers perspective

@@RomanBaranovic Dear colleague Roman, I think the matter is much simpler. Learning in Croatian is "learning" in English, and teaching (in terms of a professional, my work as a professor) is "teaching" in English. So both we and they have a clear difference between the job of teaching and the mental process in the person of the student - learning. A process that causes changes in behavior and is always local in nature, occurs only within a person. Learning can never take place outside a person, "at a distance", so it cannot even interfere with any "blended learning". So there is no confusion between teaching and learning. Unfortunately in literature and inaccurate speech this has become commonly used without anyone stopping and saying out loud: Hey, well that’s not true! The only thing that is possible is to do the work remotely, partly, and the other part directly in the classroom, and that is mixed TEACHING - of which I am a great advocate even before the kovid crisis. What you are saying about our colleagues, who forget the true essence of our profession, is quite true and I am afraid it is the case all over the world. My mail is: madunicm65@gmail.com, and I would be glad to be able to exchange opinions, literature, etc. For example, I need literature on hybrid teaching in English but in PDF, which I can get by email or have a link where I can download free and good books on this topic. I was immediately contacted by the author of this video, from America, and he agrees with everything I am talking about. With respect Marijan Madunić Zagreb Croatia

Thanks for the recommendation!

Yes, that would be helpful!

Which part doesn't work?

@@NewEdTechClassroom Well teaching 5 year old's through a computer screen and in person is not possible as they are 5 and can not sit still for more than 2 mins and need to be watched constantly and since this is there first time ever going to school and don't know what it is like to socialize and talk like a normal kindergartener it is especially challenging for them.
