Darby, Flower. “Never Waste a Good Crisis: What to Keep from Pandemic Teaching Strategies.” THE Campus/Part of Time Higher Education, 6 Oct. 2021, https://www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/never-waste-good-crisis-what-keep-pandemic-teaching-strategies. 

Mi: Educators should not waste the crisis that we have just survived with teaching and learning during Covid-19. Instead, how to keep practical technology-enabled strategies as we return to the classroom in order to support student learning and success.

Sup #1 If we assign pre-class reading quizzes that hold students accountable for completing the reading before they come to class. 

Sup #2 What a great way to communicate with students, to nudge them, to remind them of upcoming deadlines, to share an encouraging word from time to time. These tools and functions really can support our in-person teaching as well.

Sup #3 We know that sometimes students can explain concepts more effectively to each other through a peer-to-peer instruction process. The online discussion forum, when we structure that with carefully nuanced and crafted questions, can be a great way to support students learning from and with each other.

Flower Darby in  “Never Waste a Good Crisis: What to Keep from Pandemic Teaching Strategies.” states that we should not waste the crisis that we have just been through, we must keep some method of learning after returning to the school. The teacher should use the proper functionality of every teaching software or website. So if students return to the classroom they can be more prepared. Teachers can assign pre-class reading quizzes before they come to class and students can create a chatting room just to communicate. Some Kids explain very clearly, especially in peer-to-peer conversation. It’s also easier for teachers to announce upcoming deadlines, give a little bit of motivation using encouraging words. A strategy that teachers should maintain is to keep checking with students more frequently to see how they are doing or their understanding of class materials. If we keep using our software and tools, students can participate anywhere in the world. The teachers should not neglect those technology-enabled strategies to support students

I agree with the information Darby provides in “Never Waste a Good Crisis: What to Keep from Pandemic Teaching Strategies.” because there should be some benefits of online learning that a physical classroom can’t cover, such as mobility, flexibility,  and functionality. I also believe that the way of teaching will affect students very much. Darby wants to mention that innovation in a crisis should not be abandoned. Teachers must take advantage of websites and software. Teachers might gain strategies that form a hybrid, convenient, modern way of teaching which is more effective to the student. I selected this source because I was curious about what would change education. Meanwhile, what is the teacher’s reaction to online studying? 

Darby is speaking in the video informing the educator and parents, inspiring students. The purpose of this video is to provide a general proposal on what teachers can keep after the pandemic in order to support their students better. The genre of this video is talking. Darby wants to share her thoughts in a professional talking, sort of like a zoom meeting. Darby is an inclusive teaching scholar at Northern Arizona University. Therefore her point of view was considerable. 

“We know that sometimes students can explain concepts more effectively to each other through a peer-to-peer instruction process. The online discussion forum, when we structure that with carefully nuanced and crafted questions, can be a great way to support student learning from and with each other.”

“Now another strategy that we want to hold on to as we return to the classroom is to check in with students more frequently. If we were teaching in Zoom during the pandemic, many of us adopted the use of Zoom polls or surveys or similar kinds of informal, even anonymous ways of checking in with students to see how they’re doing with understanding class material, to check in with them socially or informally as well. And students are asking us to continue that.”

  1. Good use of the graphic organizing method. I see you have pulled out MI and SDetails. GREAT! Good way to organize your thinking on how to write a summary.

    Now you can work on putting these ideas into your own words. You should be able to say what the main points are in your own words. THis way you know that you really know the article. And that is what a good summary will show — that you the summary writer really know the article and can recite the main points on your own without even looking at the article!

    SO NOW WORK ON PUTTING IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS!

  2. GOOD WORK! now some feedback to make this even better:

    Your summary needs to emphasize that technology/online learning is what Darby is talking about!
