K-12 online learning can be advantageous in a variety of circumstances, including inclement weather days and emergency remote teaching. With the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, many K-12 districts may consider ways to incorporate online learning into their regular school plans after they resume face-to-face instruction. However, the most challenges to online learning seemed to take place at the elementary level. This brings up an important question: What should elementary online teaching and learning look like? We examined six award-winning K-6 teachers' perspectives on and experiences with online instruction and practices for elementary students. The teachers suggested that online instruction to support elementary students' learning should be (a) organized, (b) engaging, and (c) interactive. Teachers also suggested that developmentally appropriate use of technology and parental involvement may foster elementary students' online learning experiences.
K-12在线学习在多种情况下都具有优势,包括恶劣天气日和紧急远程教学。从新冠疫情中吸取经验教训后,许多K-12学区在恢复面对面教学后,可能会考虑将在线学习纳入其常规学校计划的方法。然而,在线学习面临的最大挑战似乎出现在小学阶段。这就引出了一个重要问题:小学在线教学应该是什么样的?我们研究了六位获奖的K-6教师对小学生在线教学的看法以及他们的教学经验和实践。这些教师建议,支持小学生学习的在线教学应该(a)有条理,(b)引人入胜,(c)具有互动性。教师们还建议,在技术使用上符合学生发展阶段特点以及家长的参与可能会促进小学生的在线学习体验。
