Abstract:

“Despite the rapid surge in full-time virtual schools across the nation, few teacher education programs address online teaching and facilitation competencies or offer virtual field experiences. With the sudden physical closures of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, such competencies are even more critical as pre-service teachers (PSTs) suddenly find themselves teaching online. This research brief describes the process of one teacher educator’s weekly PST sessions as they rapidly transitioned to an online setting. Detailed are how Padlet discussions, Poll Everywhere, and timeless favorites of Bingo and Show and Tell were implemented to enhance Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK). Guided by the Community of Inquiry model, the pedagogical shift used during the new online sessions supported and modeled interactivity and social presence during synchronous and asynchronous activities.”
