Most likely your learners are new to learning online too. So make sure you keep your activities simple:
- Reuse familiar activities and get them to respond in the chatbox or with young learners, why not get them to use their bodies? They can still act out ‘eating a banana’ and it will enhance engagement.
- Don’t insert loads of new Apps and tools they’ve never worked with before. It will add unnecessary stress not only to their lesson but also to you managing the learners, learning process and tech tools!
- Keep in mind that you still need to set clear instructions, set, model and check and this might take longer than normal while you are finding your feet on the platform.
