Praxis: The Responsive & Expanding Classroom
Welcome to the Wabash Center's blog series:
Praxis: The Responsive & Expanding Classroom
Blog/vlog writers will address such questions as:
- How does one pivot from teaching in a face-to-face classroom to teaching in a fully online classroom environment?
- What issues arise in online classrooms during periods of national and global crisis and how might teachers handle them?
- What has been learned about my students through teaching during crisis and how has this helped me to better meet their learning needs?
- What are important considerations when designing courses and teaching in relation to questions of teaching during periods of crisis?
Instructions for blog writers and vlog makers:
- https://www.wabashcenter.wabash.edu/resources/blog/instructions-for-blog-writers/
The instructions are focused on written blogs, yet the same principles apply to vlog creation as well. - Honorarium: Writers will be provided with a $100 honorarium for each blog or vlog post that is published on the Wabash Center website.
