Facilitating Virtual Learning Communities: Using Protocols to Improve Educator Practice - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

This practical resource offers a variety of facilitation moves and choices that one should consider when leading a virtual learning community.

Do you facilitate a virtual learning community? Would you like to learn strategies and moves that ensure your participants have a valuable and meaningful experience?

Protocols have been used in education circles for over 3 years to enhance both teacher and student learning. They provide a structure to have conversations around texts, student work, teacher work, dilemmas, equity, and community. Current tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams allow learning communities to easily meet online. However, it is important to create a culture of community, keep participants engaged, and facilitate group learning in these virtual environments. This book explores these topics, highlighting the voices of facilitators from around the United States who are doing this work in a variety of settings, including K– 2, universities, and state agencies. In addition, readers will find more than 3 different protocols that have been modified specifically so that they can be used in a virtual learning community setting.
