At Studyclix we've been working as a “remote” company for the past 8 years with each of our staff members working from different parts of Ireland and around the world. As a teacher I have tried, whenever possible, to utilise online tools in my teaching and have found for the most part, that students find it a positive learning experience. In this blog I'll share with you some practical tools that I think teachers may find helpful in this new world of distance learning we find ourselves in.
1. Loom Screen Recorder
Remote teaching requires much more preparation time to get lessons ready and to set students work. As a result, it can be hard to give students as much feedback on their work as you would like.
Rather than writing lengthy time-consuming emails, check out Loom which is a free screen sharing software. You simply install Loom as a plugin to Chrome and then press record and it records your screen as well as your voice.
Once you stop recording it gives you a share URL that you can give to your students. It’s great for quickly giving feedback on a student’s work or pre recording instructions that you want to send on, and it can all be done at a time that suits your daily schedule.
