After I put the second episode to bed today and set up the podcast Twitter account, I decided to do a search about online learning to get a pulse on what people were saying online. WOW.
If I had done this search at any other time in history, I would have never seen the sheer number of posts about #onlinelearning that I do now. Check these out!

many thoughts about online learning platform design …… the expensive ones used by colleges just give me 18 paragraphs of straight jargon in serif font but khan academy gives me a little sparkly noise when i get a question right and it makes me feel good thats all i want

My first and overarching thought: it doesn’t work to just move an in person classroom to an online classroom. Online learning creates wholly different advantages and disadvantages, and the pedagogy needs to work within those.

“As online learning has ramped up, parents have complained about a lack of real-time instruction and teacher connection, especially for middle and high school students.” https://t.co/v8l5N8GFB4

I love my students. But I loathe online learning. Less participate every week. Parents are ignoring me. Work isn’t getting turned in. No one comes to the Zoom meetings now. I miss normalcy. I’m really having a hard time. 🥺 #teachertwitter pic.twitter.com/RFm4ZJK8fC
