Planning Lessons During this New-Normal Era

If you fail to plan, you definitely plan to fail.

In this era of the ‘new-normal’ everybody has had to learn basic IT skills at the very minimum and to teach in virtual classrooms to an audience of learners that you can only monitor to an extent… you REALLY need to plan.

What exactly will you be teaching? Have you factored in the fact that the learners are at home and not in the physical school?

Who are your learners? What range of ages are they? What are their learning styles, abilities and challenges?

How will you be teaching this topic? On what platform will you be teaching? With what resources? How will the resources be deployed?

How will you know what they know before you start the lesson, as you teach them and after you have finished teaching them?

Planning, planning, planning!!!
