How teachers are connected with their students of Tutorial Hub in this lock down?
Tutorial Hub is Helping educators and students stay connected
We are standing to help |
As many educational institutions around the
globe are undergoing, extending, or planning closures due to COVID-19,
half of the world’s student population is unable to attend school. Educators
face the challenge of teaching remotely at an unprecedented scale, and in some
cases, for the first time.
In the last
week we’ve created new distance learning resources including a
collection of training materials. Teach
from Home is a great educational resource created by Google in partnership with
other parties (e.g., UNESCO and ISTE). It is "a temporary hub of
information and tools to help teachers during the coronavirus (COVID-19)
crisis". The site features a wide variety of resources to help teachers
make the best of technology
There
is a section that provides tips, strategies, and tools on how you can engage in
remote teaching activities using video calls. For instance, you will get to learn how to
'set up your home for video calling', 'how to start a video call with your
class', how to conduct 'live Q and A's with your class, and how to live stream your class. There is also another section with resources to help you with your
distance teaching without the need for video
calls.
We are with you |
Tutorial Hub is a
central hub of information, tips, training and tools from across Google for
Education to help teachers keep teaching, even when they aren’t in the
classroom.
To start,
we’re providing an overview of how to get started with distance learning—for
example how to teach online, make lessons accessible to students, and
collaborate with other educators.
The resource will continue to evolve. We've built the hub with the
support and cooperation of UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in
Education, who is also working with other education partners to respond to this
emergency. As we continue receiving feedback from teachers and partners on
what’s most helpful, we’ll continue to build and improve this. Teach From Home
is currently available in English, with downloadable toolkits available in
Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic and Polish, with additional
languages coming soon.

I came up with a shortlist of what I would’ve liked my teachers to do had I been a student who was sent home due to COVID-19.
- Email your students to remind them that you are still there for them.
- Tell them how you are shifting your schedule to deal with the new situation and that change is part of life.
- Humanize yourself and make it casual and lighthearted. Repeat some of the lessons you taught in class. Especially for those students who are missing the classroom environment, this will probably help activate their memory of being part of a community and remind them that they are still part of one
- Most important, ask each of your students how you can help them
- Remember that students have left behind more than just their classes and academics. On both residential and commuter campuses, there are important spaces where students meet and talk about their nonacademic lives -- sports, upcoming concerts, recently discovered shows, and so on. Consider creating a community discussion board for them to share what is happening in their lives, especially given the stress, fear, and strains in these uncertain times.
