Podcast 394, Ciara Reilly with a Guide to Teaching Online (23-3-20)

Presented and produced by Seán Delaney.

On this week's podcast I speak to my colleague in Marino Institute of Education, Ciara Reilly, about ideas for teaching online and offline while schools are closed. The initial impetus for our discussion was a padlet wall that Ciara developed to support teachers and which is available here. But our conversation covered many additional topics including the following:

• Where to start in online teaching and learning at primary school in particular.


• Digital Learning Framework.


• The value of having children work as a group rather than individually


• Use a timetable with children


• Singapore experience


• Acceptable Use Policies


• What teachers expect from students


• Planning for the future and online learning


• Risk of children spending too much time on screen


• The value of children being bored


• Use of iPads and use of textbooks


• Exam preparation for post-primary students


• Things you can do offline


• Hashtag for teachers to use on Twitter: #edshareie
