Giving the Mic to the Wrong Person69. Online Teaching Ain't Teaching -- Education During CovidWhat do you know--turns out getting millions of kids and other students to immediately switch to an all-online educational environment doesn't work so well. We're joined by Derick Varn, high school teacher in SLC, Melisa Crosby, community college teacher in Portland, and my sister Beth, middle school teacher in Raleigh, to share notes about what works and how most things don't when trying to communicate information thru screens. We also get into some education theory and studies about how online learning has an efficacy of maybe 40% of the best of times.
