Science is unique among the disciplines since it is inherently hands-on. However, the hands-on nature of science instruction also makes it uniquely challenging when teaching in virtual environments. How do we, as science teachers, deliver high-quality experiences to secondary students in an online environment that leads to age/grade-level appropriate science content knowledge and literacy, but also collaborative experiences in the inquiry process and the nature of science? The expansion of online environments for education poses logistical and pedagogical challenges for early childhood and elementary science teachers and early learners. Despite digital media becoming more available and ubiquitous and increases in online spaces for teaching and learning (Killham et al., 2014; Wong et al., 2018), PreK-12 teachers consistently report feeling underprepared or overwhelmed by online learning environments (Molnar et al., 2021; Seaman et al., 2018). This is coupled with persistent challenges related to elementary teachers’ lack of confidence and low science teaching self-efficacy (Brigido, Borrachero, Bermejo, & Mellado, 2013; Gunning & Mensah, 2011). Teaching and Learning Online: Science for Secondary Grade Levels comprises three distinct sections: Frameworks, Teacher’s Journeys, and Lesson Plans. Each section explores the current trends and the unique challenges facing secondary teachers and students when teaching and learning science in online environments. All three sections include alignment with Next Generation Science Standards, tips and advice from the authors, online resources, and discussion questions to foster individual reflection as well as small group/classwide discussion. Teacher’s Journeys and Lesson Plan sections use the 5E model (Bybee et al., 2006; Duran & Duran, 2004). Ideal for undergraduate teacher candidates, graduate students, teacher educators, classroom teachers, parents, and administrators, this book addresses why and how teachers use online environments to teach science content and work with elementary students through a research-based foundation.

In this insightful volume, more than 50 educators from 4 continents outline thoughtful and intentional innovations of lasting value made in their teaching of tertiary mathematics and statistics, in response to COVID -19 pandemic-related campus closures. The examples given in 20 practical chapters fall into three themes: utilization of relevant technologies, discipline-appropriate assessment alternatives, and support for learning and engagement. The first theme explored is the utilization of the affordances of communications technology and mathematical software and online tools, to create learning resources and activities for virtual classrooms. The second theme is the design of sound assessment alternatives, together with the associated issue of maintaining academic integrity, in disciplines accustomed to established question styles and face-to-face exams. Finally, a range of activities to encourage engagement and support learning and teaching, both online and as campuses re-opened, is described. Due to their ongoing relevance and benefits for tertiary mathematics education, be that of pre-service teachers, engineers or mathematics majors, the examples found in these 20 practical chapters are ‘takeaways’ or ‘keepers’. This book was originally published as a special issue of International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology.

The COVID-19 pandemic radically and rapidly, and perhaps forever, changed the K-20 educational landscape. In March 2020, K-12 schools and institutions of higher education were forced to pivot quickly to online and remote teaching. This new paradigm resulted in many teachers, regardless of content area, being unprepared. In the field of second language teaching and learning, world language and TESOL educators require the investigation of techniques used during the global pandemic to ensure continued success in online teaching practice. The Handbook of Research on Effective Online Language Teaching in a Disruptive Environment provides strong and cogent guidance in the use of pedagogically sound methods of online language instruction. This book builds an innovative knowledge base about teaching during disruptive times in the context of K-20 language learning that is supported with empirical evidence. Covering topics such as online work engagement, reflective practice, and flipped classroom methods, this handbook serves as a powerful resource for instructors of English language arts and TESOL, TESOL professionals, pre-service teachers, professors, administrators, instructional designers, curriculum developers, students, researchers, and academicians.

Digital Teaching, Learning and Assessment: The Way Forward is the result of the continuous discussion taking place in the teaching and learning space of what the future holds for academics and their stakeholders, post pandemic students. The editors of this book work in the teaching and learning domain and consider such discussion critical to ensure that students of the future are well serviced by all concerned. The book brings such discussions to one platform where academics, administrators and other stakeholders like researchers and regulatory bodies ponder ideas and practices and how the digital world will dominate and change the teaching/learning space. - Provides the new post-pandemic audience a futuristic look at the new digital world - Covers how practitioners perceive this new era - Enables administrators to have a glance at the possibilities of teaching and learning of the future - Gives regulatory bodies a glimpse of the future as they try to find how QA would be for such teaching and learning that deviates significantly from didactic approaches

The sudden implementation of emergency health procedures at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic forced many educators and educational institutions to explore new territory in terms of policy, teaching strategy, and more. Now that many institutions are familiar with online education, innovations have been developed and implemented. It is essential to study these best practices and innovations that have been developed in remote teaching and learning to better understand the future of online education. The Research Anthology on Remote Teaching and Learning and the Future of Online Education explores the recent developments, strategies, and innovations in remote teaching and learning that have been implemented globally. Covering topics such as emergency remote teaching, psycho-social well-being, and cross-cultural communication, this major reference work is an indispensable resource for educators and administrators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, librarians, government officials, IT managers, researchers, and academicians.

Technology is integral to teaching in the English language arts, whether in-person, hybrid, or remote. In this indispensable guide, Troy Hicks shows how to teach and model "digital diligence"--an alert, intentional stance that helps both teachers and students use technology productively, ethically, and responsibly. Resources and lesson ideas are presented to build adolescents' skills for protecting online privacy, minimizing digital distraction, breaking through “filter bubbles,” fostering civil conversations, evaluating information on the internet, creating meaningful digital writing, and deeply engaging with multimedia texts. Dozens of websites, apps, and other tools are reviewed, with links provided at the companion website; end-of-chapter teaching points and guiding questions facilitate learning and application.
