As we moved our master's program online, I have studied and practiced online teaching and engaging adult learners. As COVID19 moved our reading tutoring practicum online, I supported my teacher candidates with tools to support the learning frameworks we were using (mini lessons and word sorts) to the online space. With a spirit of adventure, we joined teachers around the world learning to teach young children to tweens online, and we learned LOTS! Many of them became classroom experts in using new resources in virtual space sharing with each other. I've invited them to share their successes and tips on this blog so together we can join the spirit of generosity shown by so many to support each other trying the same work. We would love others to share their successes for this work to support teachers, reading specialists, university faculty and students working through university reading and literacy centers and clinics. I will also blog about my start in online tutoring with a patient and generous a 2nd grader who has agreed to help me learn how to do this work. I'll share our work from the beginning- building a relationship, assessing, teaching, and learning. Inspired by one of my literacy heroines, Lucy Calkins, I'm planning frequent updates on my learning with #digitallessonsfromachild. Hoping to hear from lots of you!
