A practical, educational technology resource for educators teaching
remotely or in the classroom
The most effective hybrid teachers are those that have a vast knowledge
of instructional strategies, technologies, tools, and resources, and can
masterfully build meaningful relationships with students in-person and
through a screen. The Hybrid Teacher: Using Technology to Teach
In-Person and Online will teach educators to leverage the technology
they have access to both in their traditional brick-and-mortar
classrooms and in remote learning environments, including established
online and hybrid schools; emergency response models for pandemics,
natural disasters; rural education; and connecting with students who
can't make it to school.
Many of us had to adapt to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic,
but we still need resources for optimizing our instruction and becoming
the best teachers we can be. This book is a practical guide for teachers
who want to prepare for current and future remote instruction or
leverage the best practices of remote instruction and EdTech tools to
bring back to their brick-and-mortar classrooms. Inside, you'll learn
about the impact of social and economic differences on classroom
technology, and you'll find strategies and advice for maximizing success
in each situation.
